Filter by:The purpose of the study is to demonstrate the efficacy, safety and tolerability of bimekizumab administered subcutaneously (sc) compared to placebo in the treatment of subjects with active ankylosing spondylitis (AS).
The primary objective of this study is to evaluate the effect of filgotinib on semen parameters in adult males with active rheumatoid arthritis, psoriatic arthritis, ankylosing spondylitis, or non-radiographic axial spondyloarthritis. Results of this study may be pooled with the results of a separate study being conducted in participants with inflammatory bowel disease (Protocol GS-US-418-4279; NCT03201445) with the same objective.
Background: Ankylosing Spondylitis (AS) is a chronic, inflammatory rheumatic disease that effects primarily axial-spine. Reduction of flexibility and mobility is important factors that can cause muscle weakness, impairment quality of life, reduction of exercise tolerance and pulmonary capacity with the progression of AS. The purpose of this study is to investigate the effects of pilates exercises on mobility, quality of life and respiratory muscle strength in patients with AS. Methods: Forty patients will be included who are aged between 18-55 years and got diagnosed according to Modified New York criterias.Patients will be divided into two groups randomly. Pilates training will be performed to the treatment group and conventional exercises will be performed to the control group during 8 weeks. Respiratory muscle strength, quality of life, spinal mobility, thorax expansion, respiratory functions, physical activity level, exercise capasity and disease activity will be evaluated at first session and at the end of the 8th week in this study.
Evaluate the disease activity guided tapering and discontinuation strategies of etanercept (ETN) in patients with ankylosing spondylitis (AS) in 48 weeks.
Our clinical study aimed to evaluate the prevalence of osteoporosis (OP) in patients with ankylosing spondylitis (AS) and to investigate the relationship between clinical, disease activity, physical function and disease duration, and bone mineral density (BMD).
Patient Power is a patient research network and database (registry) to collect prospective information about demographics, self-reported diagnoses and medications, and willingness to participate in research from participants with rheumatoid arthritis (RA), spondyloarthritis (SpA), other musculoskeletal conditions, chronic neurological conditions like migraine, chronic pulmonary conditions like Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease (COPD), asthma, autoimmune dermatological conditions such as psoriasis, and other chronic inflammatory or immune-mediated conditions. In addition, since patients with chronic conditions often have other co-morbidities like cardiovascular health and obesity-related metabolic disorders, these conditions will also be included. Participants will provide information from their smartphones or personal computers. The information will be used by researchers and clinicians to help patients and their providers make better, more informed decisions about treatment of chronic conditions.
This study evaluates the intestinal microbiome and disease activity in patients with spondyloarthropathies receiving immunosuppressive therapy. Patients will be analysed at two time points in reference to two predefined primary endpoints: - Changes in intestinal microbiome - Response to therapy The investigators want to evaluate if successful treatment of spondylarthropathy coincide with specific changes in the gut flora.
Ankylosing Spondylitis (AS) is a chronic inflammatory rheumatic disease that causes a decrease in physical activity, fatigue, sleep problems and psychological consequences such as depression, anxiety and stress by primarily affecting the sacroiliac joint and spine. The aim of the treatment of AS is to prevent the hardness and flexion deformity associated with the disease; to maintain the patient's healthy psychological and physical condition. The first step in the treatment of AS; Pharmacological treatment of NSAIDs or Anti-TNFs along with exercise. Exercise, especially pain and immobility symptoms control provides patients with disease is an advantage. Tai Chi Chuan or Taiji is a traditional Chinese exercise method that has been applied for more than 300 years. Exercises based on Chinese medicine and martial arts. It is a combination of physical exercise and relaxation techniques and is used to improve the mental and physical health of individuals. In literature, balance, strength, coordination, postural control, agility, reaction time, flexibility has attracted attention for developing such factors. In addition, it increases muscle strength in elderly people and decreases the risk of falling; Rheumatoid arthritis and Osteoarthritis-related symptoms have been reported to improve in a positive way. In the literature, there is only one study examining the efficacy of Tai Chi in AS patients. According to the results of this study, Tai Chi has a positive effect on disease activity and flexibility of patients with AS. Although there is consensus on exercise role in the treatment of AS, when the literature is reviewed, it is seen that the strict and definite guidelines on the type and frequency of exercises are not yet described. There is no defined protocol for which specific exercise is appropriate in AS. The literature considers that more information is needed on the various physical therapy programs related to intensity, frequency and duration to determine the most appropriate activity for the disease. The aim of this study was to investigate the effect of Tai Chi exercises on functionality, disease activity, functional exercise capacity, spinal mobility, lower extremity strength and quality of life in AS patients with biological agents.
To assess the efficacy and safety of loxoprofen sodium hydrogel patch (LX-P) versus loxoprofen sodium tablet (LX-T) in patients with active ankylosing spondylitis(AS). The trial includes 70 patients who are randomly assigned to either the LX-P group (LX-P 100 mg per day) or LX-T group (LX-T 60 mg t.i.d.) for 4 weeks.
This proposal aims to develop novel MR imaging and image processing techniques that will provide reliable and fully quantitative evaluation of inflammation, chronic structural changes and vascularity in patients with Ankylosing Spondylitis (AS). The quantitative evaluation will be more objective and reproducible, more sensitive to subtle changes, and less time consuming, as compared to the current semi-quantitative evaluation. It will allow radiologists and rheumatologists to evaluate the inflammation and structural changes more reliably to improve early diagnosis and treatment response evaluation. The developed quantification tools can be disseminated to other research and clinical sites for retrospective and prospective data analysis, and used as outcome measures for future multi-center trials. The evaluation of vascularity will enhance Investigators understanding of disease pathophysiology and serve as a novel marker to improve investigators capability of evaluating and predicting treatment response in AS. The successful implementation will greatly assist clinicians to optimize individualized therapeutic strategies and ultimately improve patient care for AS.
