Active clinical trials for "Arthritis"

The purpose of this study is to asses the compared efficacy, safety and immunogenicity of ENERCEPTAN® with ENBREL® in combination with Methotrexate for the treatment of patients with rheumatoid arthritis.

Demonstrate the clinical value of Acthar TM in patients with active Psoriatic Arthritis who lack adequate response to DMARDS, and the quantification of response by clinical, serologic and structural parameters.

Fatigue is common and disabling for most patients with inflammatory rheumatic disease. Therapies designed to improve physical activity and 'talking' treatments, which positively help patients change the way they think and behave, are both helpful in reducing the burden of the fatigue. However, few patients have access to these treatments in most health services. This situation results from the absence of standardised programmes and limited availability of relevant therapists. The investigators aim to enhance access to fatigue alleviating physical activity and talking therapies by testing innovative,standardised and cost-effective approaches to treatment delivery. The investigators will also use this opportunity to understand how to select the best treatment for a patient based on their individual profile and to better understand how these treatments actually work. This in turn may lead to more refined and effective therapies in the future.

This is a multicenter, randomized, double-blind phase2 study to evaluate the safety and investigate the efficacy of YRA-1909 in Patients with Rheumatoid Arthritis who are on a stable dose of Methotrexate(MTX) and who have an inadequate response to MTX(MTX-IR).

The objective of this study is to evaluate the efficacy, safety and pharmacokinetics of ASP5094 in patients with rheumatoid arthritis (RA) treated with background methotrexate (MTX).

The purpose of this study is to investigate the effect of BMS-986195 in combination with an oral contraceptive in healthy female patients.

The overall objective of this proposal is to test version 3.0 of the Arthritis smartphone app in a 12-month interrupted time series analysis (ITSA) design which will allow us to observe possible differences in visit frequency between the pre-and post-intervention periods as well as between the concurrent control group and those who receive the app. Our central hypothesis is that introduction of the app will reduce visit numbers per month in the group receiving the app, compared with a concurrent control group.

This study aims to evaluate the effect of therapeutic exercise on the gut microbiome in chronic widespread pain patients. Our investigation purpose is to improve the quality of life of participants, reduce their disability and optimize their functionality. The intervention will last 6 weeks, with 2 face-to-face therapeutic exercise sessions guided by a professional and a 6-week post-intervention follow-up. The participation will require: Attend the 12 therapeutic exercise sessions Attend the 3 evaluations: at the beginning (A0), post intervention (A1) and +6 weeks after finishing the exercise program (A3). The items to be evaluated will be the following: The Ronald Morris Disability Questionnaire (RMDQ) Anxiety (State-Trait Anxiety Inventory (STAI)) Depression: Beck Depression Inventory (BDI) Quality of Life: SF-12 Pain: numerical scale (0-100) and The Brief Pain Inventory (BPI) Sensory tests: heat pain threshold (HPT), pressure pain threshold (PPT) and pain modulation (CPM) Perform a pre blood test on interleukins IL-18 and IL-1β This study involves the processing of personal data, so the researchers will guarantee confidentiality in their treatment at all times, complying with the personal data protection regulations, in particular, European Regulation 679/2016. , of April 27, general data protection, as well as Organic Law 3/2018, of December 5, Protection of Personal Data and Guarantee of Digital Rights. In order to maintain your privacy and anonymity during the research, only one person on the research team will know how names were assigned to a participation number.

The purpose of the study is to compare the efficacy, safety and immunogenicity of MSB11456 and EU approved RoActemra® in participants with moderately to severely active rheumatoid arthritis. Participants will be randomized at the beginning of the Core Treatment Period (Baseline to Week 24) to receive either MSB11456 or EU approved RoActemra® once a week (QW). At the beginning of the Extended Treatment Period (Week 24 to Week 52), participants who received RoActemra® will be re-randomized to either continue receiving RoActemra® QW or switch to receive MSB11456 QW.

Hallux rigidus is a degenerative disease of the first metatarsophalangeal (MTP) joint which affect 2.5% of people over the age of 50. As the arthritis progresses, patients pain levels increase and range of motion decreases. Non-operative management includes the use of NSAIDS, intra-articular injections, shoe modification, activity modifications, and physical therapy. Oral NSAID have been used extensively to reduce swelling and pain but have been found unsatisfactory in providing pain relief. Injections have been shown relieve pain in patients with grade 1 MTP arthritis. Shoe modifications and orthotics can modify the biomechanics of the MTP joint and thereby alleviate pain. Based on expert opinions, it seems the Morton extensions may alleviate pain but are also poorly tolerated by patients due to it's uncomfortable shape, coincidently leading to a low patient compliance rate. VKTRY insoles were initially designed to increase ground force leading to a harder push off for faster running or higher jumping. To enable energy return the insole needed to be extremely rigid and therefore consists out of a full-length Carbon-Fiber base. Unexpectedly the Carbon fiber base makes this a highly rigid construct which will likely benefit those patients with MTP arthritis as it will take away much movement of the MTP joint, without having an uncomfortable shape, i.e. patients can use this insole in their own shoes, possibly leading to a higher patient compliance and, simultaneously, to better outcome. Even though this insole is being widely used by athletes, no one has explored its role for treating patients with MTP joint arthritis. Therefore, the aim of this study is to compare the VKTRY insole to the current Morton extension insoles in a blinded randomized controlled trial
