Filter by:This study is a multicenter, randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled clinical trial to evaluate the efficacy and safety of Yuxuebi tablet in treating night pain of Ankylosing Spondylitis.
The purpose of this study is to evaluate the efficacy of eupatilin on the prevention of gastroenteropathy in patients with NSAIDs and low dose steroid by comparing with rebamipide.
The optimal plasma concentration range of adalimumab in Chinese patients with active ankylosing spondylitis remains unknown, the aims of this study is to determine the concentration-effect relationship, and explore the effect of anti-drug antibody or biomarkers on clinical outcomes in a real-world setting.
Axial spondyloarthritis (AS), is a chronic and disabling disease that mainly affects young people, generating clear limitations in mobility and functional capacity in patients who develop this disease. Although pharmacological treatment is the basis of the therapeutic treatment of (AS), non-pharmacological treatment is a fundamental complement that guarantees the optimization of movement patterns, in turn favoring independence in the basic activities of life daily through the management and control of the derived signs and symptoms. Several studies have demonstrated the effectiveness of physiotherapy in treating symptoms in patients with AS, one of these studies is the Cochrane review developed by Dagfinrud et al. One of the techniques described by the Cochrane Review in the management of symptoms is orthopedic manual therapy (OMT), defined as a specialized area of physical therapy used for the treatment of neuro-musculoskeletal conditions, based on clinical reasoning, using approaches highly specific treatment plans that include manual techniques and therapeutic exercises. Among these manual techniques, it includes myofascial induction as the primary technique of choice for the management of soft tissue and fascial system restrictions, it has been shown to be in rheumatic diseases such as fibromyalgia and osteoarthritis, as well as in non-inflammatory mechanical diseases such as non-specific low back pain, a low-cost, rapid therapeutic action strategy with sustained gains over time in managing global symptoms. Currently, the effects of myofascial induction on the mobility and function of patients with AS are unknown, despite the excellent results that these techniques have shown in dysfunctions of non-autoimmune musculoskeletal origin. For this reason, this study will seek to evaluate the efficacy of myofascial release compared to sham therapy in joint range of motion in patients diagnosed with axial spondyloarthritis.
The 19.5 months project will pilot the introduction of a hospital-based, nurse-led ankylosing spondylitis (AS) and psoriatic arthritis (PsA) service for patients being initiated on biologic therapy in NHS Lothian Edinburgh Western General Hospital. It is anticipated that this new model of care will improve: 1. The time from referral for biologic therapy to initiation of treatment with a biological therapy due to the dedicated nurse to see patients 2. The management and monitoring of AS and PsA patients post commencement of treatment , in line with The National Institute for Health and Care Excellence (NICE) guidelines
Evaluate the role of color Doppler ultrasonography (CDUS) in detection of active sacroiliitis in Ankylosing Spondylitis patients using MRI of the sacroiliac joints as a gold standard. Evaluate the relation of active sacroiliitis detected by color Doppler ultrasonography (CDUS) with disese activity in patients with ankylosing spondylitis
This study evaluates clinical responses and cost-effectiveness of using etanercept (ETN) and conventional synthetic Disease modifying anti-rheumatic drugs (csDMARDs) with treat-to-target strategy in ankylosing spondylitis patients. Half of participants will be used treat-to-target strategy with ETN and csDMARDs, while the others will be used conventional therapy scheme with ETN only.
TNF- α receptor inhibitors have been used widely in practice and are well developed in China. Anbainuo is a bio-similar recombinant TNF-α receptor: IgG Fc fusion protein, approved in 2015. Up to now, Anbainuo is well applied in patients with rheumatoid arthritis (RA) or ankylosing spondylitis (AS). Although the phase II and III clinical trials both indicated that Anbainuo can effectively control the disease activity with good tolerance and safety in RA and AS patients, there is no sufficient clinical evidence in the real world. Thus, the objective of this study is to evaluate, under the actual conditions of use, dosing patterns of Anbainuo. Investigators plan to recruit 1000 adult patients with RA or AS and to follow them for 48 weeks. It is hypothesized that this study would reflect real clinical conditions (efficacy and safety assessment) of using Anbainuo in RA and AS patients.
The primary objective of this study is to evaluate the efficacy of safety of etanercept dose reduction combined with sulfasalazine in ankylosing spondylitis (AS) patients who have achieved a significant clinical response.
It will be a pilot, 2 year, prospective, randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled (for pamidronate) study. All patients with AS will receive treatment with TNF inhibitor, while randomization will be performed for pamidronate versus placebo group. Primary outcome will be the rate of radiographic progression of AS, calculated after 24 months of combined treatment.
