Effects of Pilates Training on Respiratory Muscle Strenght in Patients With Ankylosing Spondylitis...

Ankylosing Spondylitis

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.

Efficacy of Myofascial Release in Patients With Axial Spondyloarthritis.

Ankylosing Spondylitis

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.

Treat-to-target Strategy in Ankylosing Spondylitis Using Etanercept and Conventional Synthetic DMARDs...

Ankylosing SpondylitisSpondyloarthritis

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.

A Randomized Open-labeled Study for Comparing Methods of Using Imrecoxib to Treat AS

Ankylosing SpondylitisTherapeutic Agent Toxicity

The selective cox-2 inhibitor has been widely used in the treatment of Ankylosing spondylitis (AS). The Imrecoxib is a new cox-2 inhibitor. But the treatment strategy has not been decided yet. To determine which is better in treating AS in the methods between on-demand treatment and continuous treatment. To solve this question, we designed this study.

A Multicenter,Double-Blind and Randomized Controlled Trial of Fengshigutong Capsule in the Treatment...

Ankylosing Spondylitis

This is a randomized, double-blind, multicentral clinical trial to investigate the efficacy and safety of Fengshigutong Capsule in the treatment of active ankylosing spondylitis(AS). The primary purpose is to assess the different maintaining treatment programme in AS patients with controlled inflammation by Imrecoxib. The trial will include 180 patients who will be divided into three group: Fengshigutong Capsule plus Imrecoxib group, Imrecoxib group and Fengshigutong Capsule group. Patients will complete the 4-week therapy.

The Effect of Fecal Microbiota Transplantation in Ankylosing Spondylitis (AS) Patients.

Ankylosing Spondylitis

Ankylosing spondylitis (AS) patients often have subclinical gut wall inflammation. Gut dysbiosis has been associated with both AS and Crohn disease, both of which have several features in common. Gut dysbiosis is associated with specific microbial profile in AS patients. Fecal microbiota transplantation (FMT) has been proved to be safe and effective treatment for recurrent Clostridium difficile infection, and the change in gut microbiota is shown to be long lasting. It has led to interest to study its effect on different inflammatory conditions associated with gut dysbiosis. We hypothesize that dysbiosis in AS leads to inflammasome overactivation on gut mucosa. We aim to study the role of gut inflammation, gut microbiota and inflammasome activation in pathogenesis of AS, and the effect of FMT on these factors, as well as clinical activity, in AS patients.

WEB-Based Physiotherapy for People With Axial Spondyloarthritis

Ankylosing Spondylitis

Regular exercise is a core component of the long-term management of people with axial spondyloarthritis (axial SpA). However, delivering long-term exercise programmes is unrealistic and unsustainable using traditional NHS services. Web-based physiotherapy, has been developed, a possible alternative service model to support people with axial SpA to exercise regularly however long-term compliance to the programme (12 months) needs to be established. The aim of this prospective cohort study is to assess the feasibility, sustainability and acceptability of a 12 month individualised web-based physiotherapy programme in people with axial SpA. Fifty people with established axial SpA, will receive 12 months of individualised, remotely monitored, web-based physiotherapy. The primary outcome will be four weekly compliance rates with the programme over the 12 month period. Secondary outcomes (baseline, 6 and 12 months) will include function, disease activity, spinal mobility, quality of life, attitudes and motivations towards exercise, fitness, health status, employment, physical activity. The number of interactions with health care professionals and changes in medication will be documented. A subsample of the cohort will be interviewed at 6 and 12 months to gather participants' views of the web-based physiotherapy programme and factors influencing compliance with the programme.

Investigating the Use of Salaso to Improve Physiotherapy Management of Ankylosing Spondylitis (AS)....

Ankylosing Spondylitis

This is a pilot study to investigate the use of Salaso, a web based exercise app, to increase access to physiotherapy and improve physical activity in patients attending St James's Hospital Rheumatology for Ankylosing Spondylitis (AS). Participants will be set up on the app and given an individual exercise programme. All individual exercises and exercise class videos will be available on the app. Completion of exercises can be logged on the app and exercise compliance will then be monitored remotely by the physiotherapist through the Salaso app. The physiotherapist will have a monthly telehealth session with each participant to assess progress and to address any difficulties. Outcome measures will be completed at initial assessment and again at the end of the pilot study. This data will then be analysed to assess the effectiveness of the Salaso app as a treatment option for AS.
