Filter by:The study included 55 patients having Ankylosing Spondylitis (AS) for at least 1 year diagnosed according to the ASAS classification criteria who presented to our hospital's outpatient clinic and 55 healthy subjects. Demographic data were recorded for 55 AS patients who were subsequently assessed using the BASMI (Bath Ankylosing Spondylitis Metrology Index) in terms of elasticity and spinal mobility as well as the BASFI (Bath Ankylosing Spondylitis Functional Index) to determine functional status, the BASDAI (Bath Ankylosing Spondylitis Disease Activity Index) to assess the disease activity and the ASQoL (Ankylosing Spondylitis Quality of Life Questionnaire) to evaluate quality of life. The Toronto Alexithymia Scale-20 (TAS-20) was used for assessment of alexithymia and Beck's Depression Inventory (BDI) for depression among patients.
This study was carried out to develop mobile application on the android platform for the subcutaneous anti-TNF drug adherence of ankylosing spondylitis patients and to evaluate the effect of this application on drug compliance. The universe of this experimental designed posttest control group research is consisted of patients prescribed subcutaneous anti-TNF drug due to ankylosing spondylitis in Eskişehir Osmangazi University Health, Application and Research Hospital Rheumatology Polyclinic between 15 December 2017 - 30 June 2019. The patients who constituted the sample of the study were assigned by lot to mobile application and the education booklet groups. The mobile application that includes follow-up and information related to disease information, anti-TNF drug application and management was transferred to mobile phones of patients in mobile application group via bluetooth technology and installed. The patients in the education booklet group were given an education booklet on disease information, antiTNF drug administration and management. In the study, patients were evaluated once before anti-TNF drug treatment and every 6 weeks during 6 months (4 times) after treatment. The data of the study were collected by means of an individual identification form, BASDAI, BASFI, ASQoL and Subcutaneous Anti-TNF Treatment Adherence Questionnaire.
The objective of this study was to examine the effects of 8-week clinical Pilates training on disease-specific indices, core stability, and balance in ankylosing spondylitis (AS) patients.
The aim of the study is to investigate the effect of yoga training on functional level, disease activity, spinal mobility, balance, sleep quality, depression and quality of life in AS patients.
Subclinical intestinal inflammation and gut dysbiosis have been reported in patients with spondyloarthritis (SpA). In common practice, rheumatologists are increasingly confronted with patients with inflammatory rheumatism who are on gluten-free diets (GFDs), despite the lack of reliable data from controlled studies. This study aims to determine the impact of a GFD on the quality of life of patients with axial SpA.
This study series consists of four related studies and aims to explore and describe many important elements of alopecia areata over three key areas: (1) the current epidemiology of alopecia areata, (2) the prevalence and incidence of psychiatric co-morbidities in people with alopecia areata, (3) the prevalence and incidence of autoimmune and atopic conditions in people with alopecia areata, and (4) the incidence of common infections in people with alopecia areata.
The aim is to do a French linguistic validation of three questionnaires used in axial Spondyloarthritis (BASFI, BAS-G, Dougados Functional Index). In order to validate the questionnaires, a prospective, qualitative, observational and monocentric study will be conducted.
The aim of this study was to determine the status of ovarian reserve in patients with ankylosing spondylitis (AS) using anti-mullerian hormone (AMH) level and antral follicle count (AFC). Women with AS and women controls diagnosed according to the classification criteria proposed by the American-European Consensus Group will be included in the study. Ovarian reserve will be evaluated in terms of clinical findings, AFC and serum AMH and reproductive hormone levels. Researchers predict that the ovarian reserve may be reduced in patients with AS due to the autoimmune process and the pathophysiology of the disease. Serum AMH and ovarian AFC may be useful for assessing ovarian reserve. It is aimed to determine the course of ovarian reserve abnormalities and the best possible biomarkers of reduced ovarian reserve in patients with AS.
This study is intended to treat ankylosing spondylitis (AS). AS is a form of arthritis that primarily affects the spine. It is characterized by inflammation of the spinal joints that can lead to severe pain, and in more advanced cases, ankylosis (sections of the spine fuse in a fixed, immobile position). The study will be an ascending single and multiple-dose study to evaluate the safety, tolerability, pharmacokinetics, and pharmacodynamics of subcutaneous KIN-1901 in healthy subjects and subjects with AS.
The purpose of this global study was to demonstrate the efficacy, safety, and tolerability of an intravenous (i.v.) regimen of secukinumab compared to placebo in participants with active ankylosing spondylitis (AS) or non-radiographic axial spondyloarthritis (nr-axSpA ) at Week 16 despite current or previous non-steroidal anti inflammatory drugs (NSAID), disease-modifying antirheumatic drugs (DMARD) and/or anti Tumor Necrosis Factor (TNF) therapy. In addition, to further support efficacy and safety of an i.v. regimen, data was collected for up to 52 weeks of treatment.
