Active clinical trials for "Arthritis"

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.

This multicenter prospective observational study will evaluate the quality of life in participants with rheumatoid arthritis (RA) who are initiated with rituximab (MabThera/Rituxan). Participants will be followed for 6 months from initiation of treatment.

Non-adherence to medications can lead to sub-optimal treatment in rheumatoid arthritis (RA) patients. In order to improve disease modifying anti-rheumatic drugs (DMARDs) adherence, the investigators are conducting a randomized controlled trial to test out an intervention to improve medications adherence among low adherers. This intervention involves the use of a musculoskeletal ultrasound program which allows RA patients to visualize their joint inflammation and damage real time while treatment adherence is simultaneously reinforced. In doing so, the investigators hope to improve patients' understanding of their joint disease and motivate the participants to adhere to their medications.

The purpose of this pilot study is to investigate feasibility and patients´ assessment using an animated home-based exercise program (Software Wii-fit of the Nintendo Wii game console) for patients with rheumatoid arthritis.

The study aims to investigate if a 7 day therapeutic fasting regimen will affect self-efficacy of patients with chronic diseases the effects of fasting on physical and mental well-being, quality of life and body awareness/image the association between patients characteristics and the perceived health benefit after fasting the association between Diagnosis according to traditional Chinese medicine and physical and mental well-being during the course of fasting experiences and perceptions of patients during fasting therapy

The purpose of this non-interventional, multicenter, post-marketing observational study (PMOS) was to assess rheumatoid arthritis (RA), psoriatic arthritis (PsA), ankylosing spondylitis (AS), plaque psoriasis (PS), Crohn's disease (CD) and ulcerative colitis (UC) patients' adherence attitudes (beliefs) to maintenance therapy with adalimumab monotherapy or combination therapy with methotrexate (in participants with RA) and to investigate whether there were correlations between such beliefs and adherence to maintenance treatment.

This prospective, observational study will evaluate the efficacy, safety and tolerability of RoActemra/Actemra (tocilizumab) in patients with moderate to severe active rheumatoid arthritis who have had an inadequate response or are intolerant to one or more conventional disease-modifying anti-rheumatic drugs. Data will be collected from patients initiated on RoActemra/Actemra treatment according to the local label at baseline, Weeks 4, 12 and 24, and at 3 and 6 months after the last dose of study drug.

The primary objectives of this study are to assess whether there is transfer of Certolizumab Pegol (CZP) into breast milk of lactating mothers who are receiving an established dosing regimen of CZP by evaluating the concentration of CZP in mature breast milk, and to calculate the daily infant dose of maternal CZP.

The purpose of this study is to prospectively evaluate the functional outcome and patient satisfaction of total ankle replacement for tibio-talar osteoarthritis.

This observational study will assess the long-term efficacy and safety of MabThera/Rituxan in routine clinical practice in patients with sero-positive rheumatoid arthritis who are non-responders or intolerant to a single tumour necrosis factor (TNF) inhibitor. Data will be collected from each patient over 2 years.
