Active clinical trials for "Arthritis"

This exploratory study will be used to identify questions that will be part of a new QoL questionnaire for patients with psoriasis and psoriatic arthritis and to determine the sample size needed for its validation. The new questionnaire will be a global QoL questionnaire which will take into account the impact of both psoriasis and psoriatic arthritis on QoL. STUDY OBJECTIVES To evaluate the influence of psoriasis and psoriatic arthritis on patient's answers to QoL questions from DLQI, HAQ, EQ-5D, FACIT-fatigue and SF-36. To identify an equal number of questions from DLQI, HAQ, EQ-5D, FACIT-fatigue and SF-36 where answers are mostly influenced either by psoriatic arthritis or by psoriasis.

The purpose of this study is to describe infliximab and abatacept dosing patterns (i.e., dosing amount and frequency) and costs among a population of managed care enrollees with RA. This study will also identify changes in infliximab and abatacept dosing over time and the implication these changes may have on the costs of medication administration.

The primary purpose of this observational study is to describe and define the current daily practice of management of anti-TNF-agents in Rheumatoid Arthritis (RA) patients. Data will be collected only from subjects providing informed consent.

This is an epidemiological non-interventional study assessing the prevalence of anxiety and/or depression disorders in patients suffering from Psoriatic Arthritis (PsA) in Spain.

The objective of the proposed study is to assess bone health and determinants of bone health among select subpopulations of rheumatoid arthritis patients.

In Spain, there is little data available concerning the evolution and treatment of Psoriatic Arthritis by rheumatologists and dermatologists. This study is designed to obtain more data about the clinical and therapeutic management of Psoriatic Arthritis in Dermatology and Rheumatology Medical centers.

Multicenter Early Access Program of the Safety of Human Anti-TNF Monoclonal Antibody Adalimumab in Subjects with Active Rheumatoid Arthritis

Investigate body image of patients with rheumatoid arthritis, correlating with self-esteem, function and quality of life.

Periodontitis (PD) has been postulated to be a risk factor for the onset and progression of rheumatoid arthritis (RA). Recent reports suggest that infection with Porphyromonas gingivalis (P. gingivalis), a major oral pathogen in PD, could play a pivotal role in the development RA. The objective of this study is to examine the relationship of PD and P. gingivalis infection with the risk and severity of RA.

The purpose of this study is to determine possible alterations in cardiac function in patients with Rheumatoid Arthritis and Ankylosing Spondylitis under anti-TNF therapy, without clinical heart disfunction at baseline, using highly sensitive non-invasive methods.
