Active clinical trials for "Arthritis"

The purpose of this study is to evaluate the survivorship and efficacy of the Encore Reverse Shoulder Prosthesis in a group of no more than 50 subjects for whom data collection has already begun.

One centre follow-up study on safety and efficacy of treatment with rituximab among patients with RA during 4 year period. Basic data is collected for the national register of biologicals.

To explore the hypothesis that leg ulcers are associated with hypercoagulable states, the CLUE study will evaluate patients with connective tissue disease associated leg ulcers, to identify risk factors (especially hypercoagulability and immunologic characteristics), characterize pathogenesis, predict response to therapy, and assess the impact of lower extremity ulcers on quality of life.

The objective of the proposed study is to assess the role of smoking and complex gene-smoking interactions in two understudied Rheumatoid Arthritis (RA)groups.

The main objective of this PMS study was to monitor and assess the safety of Mobic® intramuscular injection (7.5mg ~ 15mg, q.d.) up to 3 days (in case of need for prolonged treatment, switch to Mobic® capsule therapy was possible) in Korean patients with osteoarthritis and rheumatoid arthritis.

The objective of the observational study is to examine the effect of MOVALIS (Meloxicam) therapy on Health Related Quality of Life (HRQoL) in the diverse region of Central and Eastern Europe. The Medical Outcomes Study 12 Item Short Form Health Survey version 2 (SF-12v2) will be used as the instrument to measure any change in physical wellbeing (Physical Component Summary, PCS) and mental wellbeing (Mental Component Summary, MCS) of patients following MOVALIS (Meloxicam) therapy.

The purpose of this study is to perform a five-year, multi-center prospective evaluation of the Discovery™ Elbow System for outcome and durability. Relief of pain and restoration of function will determine long-term clinical outcome while durability will be measured by the absence of revisions.

Inflammatory arthritis (IA) is a major cause of long-term disability. Due to specialist shortages, failure of primary care providers and individuals to recognize the disease, and lack of awareness of the importance of early intervention, delays to rheumatologic care are common. Peer support models have been used for various health issues and may be one method to assist individuals with early IA to manage their disease and cope with stress. Qualitative research methods (focus groups) will seek out feedback on a peer support approach and explore the learning needs (informational needs, educational preferences) and opinions about emotional and appraisal support of individuals living with IA, from the perspectives of patients. The data will be analyzed and expressed themes (articulated needs and understandings of interviewee context) will guide the future development of a peer support intervention.

The present survey was conducted to evaluate the effectiveness and safety of treatment with adalimumab during the 52-week period following completion of the treatment period in Study NCT00870467 (M06-859) in participants who continued treatment with adalimumab for 52 weeks.

The purpose of this study is to determine whether DC-STAMP, a protein on the surface of osteoclast precursors (OCPs), can be used as a biologic marker in Psoriatic Arthritis (PsA). With this marker the investigators hope to learn more about how OCPs develop as well as find out if DC-STAMP predicts PsA severity and how well treatment works in PsA.
