Filter by:People with rheumatic disease often have decreased strength, muscle mass, and bone mineral density due to repeated bouts of inflammation, normal effects of aging, disuse, and inactivity. The medications used to quell the disease process, such as prednisone, can also have detrimental effects on body composition, strength, and functional capacity. The investigators propose to investigate the feasibility, safety, and effects of resistance exercise in older patients with rheumatoid arthritis (RA) and vasculitis. The unique resistance protocol the investigators propose involves performing movements in a slow and controlled fashion (i.e., no acceleration or use of momentum in the lifting and lowering of the resistance) to minimize force on the joints and connective tissues. This will be conducted in an individually-supervised environment with a new generation of exercise equipment that will accommodate their musculoskeletal capabilities and allow for reproducibility of the exercise protocol. The investigators intend to investigate the feasibility, safety, musculoskeletal, and psychological effects of this resistance exercise protocol in older patients with rheumatoid arthritis and vasculitis by testing their strength, body composition, functional ability, mood, and quality of life before and after this 16-week resistance exercise intervention.
This is an observational trial in Rheumatoid Arthritis and Crohn's Disease patients treated with Cimzia aiming to evaluate the risk and incidence of Tuberculosis.
This study will investigate how LY2127399 works in participants with rheumatoid arthritis (RA) who are not adequately responding to methotrexate. Participants will receive LY2127399 via an injection(s) under the skin at 4 week intervals for up to 52 weeks. Key study procedures include biopsies of the lining of an inflamed joint and blood tests to measure RA activity.
The purpose of the study is to evaluate the effectiveness of four dosing regimens of fostamatinib compared to placebo, in patients with rheumatoid arthritis (RA) who are taking methotrexate but not responding. The study will last for 12 weeks.
Taking into account the recommendations of the Health Authority [1] and the application of patients' associations, we have structured a course of therapeutic education includes three stages for patients with rheumatoid arthritis and followed at Nantes University Hospital. Step 1: initial interview with a nurse patient education for diagnosis and education with the patient to choose three subjects from among 10 offered him problematic; Step 2: Orientation in an educational path that provides access to 6 months group workshops (3 maximum) and / or interviews tailored to the three selected topics; Step 3: final interview with a nurse said therapeutic education formative assessment to take stock. The main objective of our work is to ensure that the patient finds it easier solutions to the three problematic topics him after 6 months of education after six months without treatment.
Study to assess the safety and tolerability of MEDI5117 in Rheumatoid Arthritis patients
The purpose of this study is to evaluate the long-term safety and tolerability of CDP6038 (olokizumab) treatment in adult subjects with active rheumatoid arthritis (RA) who completed study RA0083 [NCT01463059].
The objectives of this study are to obtain survival and outcome data on the Trabecular Metal Humeral Stem when used in primary, total or hemi shoulder arthroplasty.
This trial will evaluate the 36mm or greater metal head on metal hip system and compare it to the 32mm or 28mm metal head on polyethylene (liner) hip system in patients receiving a primary cementless total hip replacement.
This is an open-label, multicenter and observational study in China, which is designed to record the data of RA & AS patients within 52 weeks after rheumatologists decided to prescribe etanercept, and evaluate the safety and efficacy of the treatment. All eligible subjects agreed to be recruited in the study and can withdraw anytime if they choose so. Patients with RA or AS are typically managed by rheumatologists. As this study seeks to record the data of RA & AS patient in etanercept and evaluate the safety and efficacy of the treatment, patients will be recruited from Rheumatic department. Rheumatologist will be asked to build up the database for RA & AS patient surveillance prospectively in outpatient dept, which benefits for the patient treatment outcomes evaluation and clinical management.
