Active clinical trials for "Arthritis, Rheumatoid"

This study was designed to investigate the factors affecting sleep quality of Rheumatoid arthritis patients in Turkish population.

The purpose of this study is to determine the neural mechanisms supporting meditation-based pain relief in rheumatoid arthritis (RA) patients. The scientific premise is that RA patients' use of different meditation practices during noxious thermal stimulation will alter neural function in brain areas associated with pain, evaluation, and emotional appraisal. The investigators will randomize RA patients to a brief 4-session course of Intervention A (n=20) or Intervention B (n=20). At post-intervention, participants will undergo functional MRI (fMRI) using a perfusion-based arterial spin labeling (ASL) technique during noxious thermal stimulation to determine if the meditation practices differentially alter neural function during noxious thermal stimulation.

Cardiovascular disease is the leading cause of death in RA patients. This increased risk may be apparent even before the clinical recognition of RA. The optimal approach for identification of patients with increased CV risk has yet to be fully established and a substantial proportion of RA patients at high risk remain unidentified. Heart failure (HF) has been recently recognized as an important contributory factor to the excess CV mortality associated with RA (more than myocardial ischemia), and RA patients with concomitant HF have twice the risk of CV death compared with patients with RA alone. HF in RA typically presents with occult or atypical clinical symptomatology, tend to be managed less aggressively and have poorer outcomes. For developing effective preventive strategies, the evaluation of patients in early asymptomatic stages is of great importance. The investigators propose to perform an observational longitudinal study (with cases and controls) including RA patients (with and without HF) from a single centre to determine cardiovascular profiles that may be associated with higher risk for developing symptomatic HF and CV events. For this purpose the investigators will use clinical, echocardiographic, serum biomarker, and genetic data

Regarding Tofacitinib, newly introduced on the market, few data on drug retention and no data on the factors predictive of Tofacitinib drug survival in patients with RA are available. Therefore, the primary objective of the DeFacTo study will be to identify the factors predictive of Tofacitinib drug survival in patients with RA. As secondary objectives, the impact of behavioural strategies on drug survival and other clinical parameters as well as Tofacitinib effectiveness and tolerability will be studied under real-life conditions of use in French patients with RA.

This is a secondary structured database observational study conducted in Rheumatoid Arthritis (RA) patients treated with biologic and nonbiologic DMARDs, including tofacitinib, collected as part of the CorEvitas Japan RA Registry. The data as of September 2022 will be used for this study. The study will include data from March 2016 to the latest data cut available in 2022 for both effectiveness and safety outcomes.

The study is designed as a prospective, observational study to assess the effect of adalimumab on health-related quality of life (QoL) and work productivity in patients with rheumatoid arthritis (RA) in Korea.

The objective of this post-marketing observational study (PMOS) was to evaluate the effectiveness of adalimumab plus the AbbVie Care 2.0 patient support program in participants with rheumatoid arthritis (RA), ankylosing spondylitis (AS), psoriatic arthritis (PsA), psoriasis (Ps), Crohn's disease (CD) or ulcerative colitis (UC) in the routine clinical setting in Hungary.

A study comparing the use of the Pre-filled Pen and Pre-filled Syringe of SB5 in Subjects with Rheumatoid Arthritis.

This observational trial will evaluate the effectiveness, the consistency of evaluation scores, quality of life, safety and tolerability of TCZ administered subcutaneously (SC) in participants with RA in daily clinical practice.

The purpose of this study is to compare the proportion of patients with an infusion reaction in Rheumatoid arthritis (RA) patients treated with Golimumab Intravenous (IV) or Infliximab.
