Filter by:This is a 6-week ketogenic diet (KD) intervention where participants with rheumatoid arthritis (RA) will follow a KD plan, supervised and monitored by a dietician. Participants will be provided extensive educational and ongoing support on the KD, including personalized coaching with the ability to text a dietitian at any time and expect a response within 12 hours. Diet adherence and progress will be assessed daily using at-home blood ketone/glucose monitors, along with diet records. Participants will fill out health related questionnaires and undergo assessments of body composition, RA disease activity. This study also includes blood draws and fat biopsy of the abdominal region.
The aim of this study is to investigate the effectiveness of the SARAH home exercise program to be applied for 12 weeks on wrist proprioception and hand functions in adult patients with rheumatoid arthritis.
The main objectives of this study are to confirm the long-term safety, performance, and clinical benefits of the G7 Freedom Constrained Vivacit-E Acetabular Liners in primary and revision total hip arthroplasty.
This study is a global, multi-center, prospective, non-controlled, non-randomized, post-market clinical follow-up study. The main objectives of this study are to confirm the long-term safety, performance, and clinical benefits of the G7 Dual Mobility Acetabular System when used with the Vivacit-E or Longevity polyethylene hip bearing and instrumentation in primary total and revision (total) hip arthroplasty
This is an international, single arm, multicenter, prospective, non-significant risk, Post-Market Clinical Follow-up (PMCF) study. Data will be collected for the commercially available AEQUALIS FLEX REVIVE shoulder system in both the anatomic and reversed configurations. The purpose of this study is to collect data needed to satisfy the European Union (EU) Medical Device Regulation (MDR) clinical post-market surveillance (PMS) and reporting requirements, and to support future regulatory submissions and peer-reviewed publications on device performance and safety.
Fatigue is a common feature in patients with rheumatic conditions. Fatigue can lead to a decline in physical function, self-confidence, cognitive status, and work performance and significantly impact the quality of life. While pain and inflammation of arthritis can be well controlled nowadays attributed to the advances in anti-rheumatic medications, fatigue remains a challenge. Even with proper therapies for arthritis, the prevalence of severe fatigue is more than 30%, which is a significant burden to both physicians and patients. However, there is no regimen to alleviate fatigue among patients with inflammatory arthritis. Finding a way to combat fatigue will significantly help improve patients' physical and mental state and family society. To investigate the efficacy of Jing Si Herbal Tea Liquid Packets on fatigue in patients with inflammatory arthritis, the investigators propose a two-year research project to recruit approximately 150 patients with fatigue and inflammatory arthritis, including rheumatoid arthritis, ankylosing spondylitis, and psoriatic arthritis. This project is designed as a randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled study. The recruited patients will be randomized to receive Jing Si Herbal Tea Liquid Packets or a matching placebo in combination with the background regular anti-rheumatic therapy. The severity of fatigue will be obtained by questionnaire. Clinical parameters, including demographic data and disease activities, will be collected during each visit.
The Biorepository is a prospective observational cohort study for patients under the care of a licensed physician or qualified physician extender. Target minimum enrollment is approximately 3,000 patients within the first 5 years of the study with no defined upper limit of enrollment. Sites from Corrona's current North America network will be asked to participate. Participating sites and subjects will not receive results from any laboratory testing conducted on the Samples. Personal identifying information will not be collected along with the Samples. Subjects will provide informed consent to contribute Samples to include blood (serum, plasma, whole blood) to the Biorepository. In the future, Subjects may be asked to contribute other samples (i.e. saliva, urine, stool) and an additional informed consent will be obtained. Subjects will retain the right to withdraw their consent for use of their Samples at any time. In such case, Corrona will destroy any unused/remaining Samples in its possession.
Investigators have aimed to estimate prevalence of neuropathic hand pain in RA patients and it's relation with sleep quality and sensory thresholds. For this purpose a case-control study design was planned. Age- and sex-matched control subjects will be chosen among individuals submitted to out-patient clinic with the complaint of nociceptive/mechanical pain other than in hand, lasting more than three months
The purpose of this clinical trial is to determine the optimal dose of HL237 tablets in rheumatoid arthritis patients by comparing the efficacy and safety of the three dose groups of HL237 tablets and the control group.
GÖTHA- The early arthritis and psoriasis study of Region Västra Götaland, Sweden - is a longitudinal observational study, which will prospectively and in parallel follow patients with newly diagnosed rheumatoid arthritis (RA, N=1000), psoriatic arthritis (PsA, N=500) and undifferentiated arthritis (N=100), together with patients with psoriasis (N=500). The study will also recruit healthy controls from the general population (N=3000). The aims of the study are to define predictors for disease course and severity, treatment response, comorbidities, health related quality of life (HRQoL) and health economy. The study is a collaboration between the department of Rheumatology and the department of Dermatology at Sahlgrenska University Hospital in Gothenburg, and the departments of Rheumatology at the hospitals of Alingsås, Borås, Uddevalla and Skövde, in the west of Sweden. All patients with newly diagnosed RA, PsA and undifferentiated arthritis at the Rheumatology centers are eligible for inclusion. Patients with psoriasis will be recruited from the Department of dermatology at Sahlgrenska University Hospital. The patients will be examined at baseline and at one, three, five and ten years. The assessments will include physical examination with evaluation of joints, entheses and skin and validated questionnaires regarding medical history, comorbidities, lifestyle, disease activity, bodily function, socioeconomic factors and HRQoL. Blood samples will be collected. The patients with arthritis will also undergo radiography of the lung, hands and feet, and Cone Beam Computed Tomography (CBCT) of hands and feet.
