Filter by:Spondyloarthritis, notably ankylosing spondylitis (AS), represents a chronic rheumatic condition typified by persistent back pain and stiffness. It constitutes a substantial portion of diagnoses within rheumatology units and exhibits a higher prevalence among males. Diagnosis relies upon comprehensive clinical evaluation, including patient history, physical examination, and adjunctive radiological assessments, with genetic predisposition, particularly the presence of the HLA-B27 antigen, playing a significant role. Management strategies encompass a multidisciplinary approach, with physiotherapy emerging as a cornerstone therapeutic modality. Various exercise interventions, particularly those supervised by trained professionals, demonstrate efficacy in improving pain, stiffness, and overall functional capacity. Furthermore, patient education plays a pivotal role in enhancing treatment adherence and optimizing outcomes by aligning patient expectations with therapeutic goals. The evolving landscape of spondyloarthritis management underscores the necessity of further research into multimodal treatment approaches, particularly in integrating novel interventions such as electrophysical agents. By elucidating the mechanisms of action and exploring their synergistic effects, clinicians can refine treatment protocols and ultimately enhance the quality of care provided to individuals living with spondyloarthritis.
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.
The main aim of this study is to ascertain general satisfaction among participants with rheumatic diseases with day-to-day use of the Benepali® prefilled pen by means of a standardised participant questionnaire. In addition, it is to be investigated whether differences exist in general participant satisfaction between participant groups who have undergone various prior treatment and/or have previous experience with application systems (participants new to the use of biologics, participants changing over from a prefilled injection or changing over from another pre-filled pen) and between participants of the various indication groups. Furthermore, the participants are to evaluate various aspects of using the Benepali® pre-filled pen based on their personal experience, such as e.g. handling, user-friendliness and features of the Benepali® pre-filled pen, as well as the effectiveness of the training on injection with the Benepali® pre-filled pen, based on participant satisfaction with the training received with the training pen and the evaluation of the training material received.
The study is a Phase 3, multicenter, randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled study to evaluate the efficacy and safety of two dose regimens of Certolizumab Pegol (CZP) in subjects with active axial Spondyloarthritis (axial SpA).
Up to 60% of patients with Seronegative Spondyloarthritides have inflammation in the colon or ileum. This is usually asymptomatic, but in 5 to 10% of patients with SA, Frank IBD will develop. Lesions of the bowel could also be present in the SA patients because of the potential injury posed by the NSAIDS, a common used medication in this setting. It is the bowel involvement in patients with SA that we propose to characterize, partly because there are scant communicated data in the medical literature, especially regarding small bowel lesions.
