Active clinical trials for "Arthritis"

This is a patient research registry aimed at evaluating the effectiveness of a comprehensive, root-cause medical approach ("AndHealth program") for autoimmune disorders. This approach involves a combination of pharmacological and non-pharmacological therapies offered under the care of a licensed physician with the support of health coaches. While protocol guidance is provided, the therapeutic approach is personalized to the individual needs of patients. The autoimmune disorders of focus in this registry include rheumatoid arthritis, psoriatic arthritis, psoriasis and ankylosing spondylitis. A variety of validated labs, patient-reported outcomes, and medication usage will be assessed among participating patients over a period of up to five years to evaluate the long-term effectiveness of this approach.

Bone and/or joint infections, such as septic arthritis (SA), are rare, but delayed diagnosis or improper treatment can result in irreversible joint destruction. Therefore, early diagnosis and effective treatment are necessary to prevent severe outcomes. Clear protocols for SA rehabilitation are unavailable, and physiotherapy studies are few. Robot training in patients with musculoskeletal diseases, including burns, can reduce pain and improve lower extremity function. Studies on robot training have been conducted in patients with burn injuries. Rebless® (H-ROBOTICS, KOREA) is a knee or ankle robot for range of motion (ROM) and strength training that can operate in passive or active mode in knee or ankle flexion and extension. The patients underwent 30 min of robot training using Rebless® with 30 min conventional therapy, 5 days a week for 8 weeks. This study aims to confirm the clinical effect after 8 weeks of robotic treatment for patients diagnosed with septic arthritis.

Rheumatoid arthritis (RA) is a systemic chronic inflammatory disease, and depression and anxiety are among the most common comorbidities in RA patients, with a high prevalence rate. Epidemiological studies have found that joint deformities, severe pain, positive serum RF titers, as well as comorbidities such as hypertension, insomnia, pain, and fatigue are significantly associated with depression and anxiety in RA patients. Currently, clinical studies have found that the relief of depression or anxiety is one of the expected treatment goals for RA patients. Due to the unclear pathogenic factors of depression or anxiety in RA patients, there is a lack of effective clinical treatment options. Therefore, this study will use a "causal inference model" to identify possible "mediating variables" that may lead to the comorbidity of RA and emotional disorders through clinical investigation, aiming to improve the precision of treatment for physicians.

It is aimed to examine the effects of person-centered lifestyle intervention on occupational performance, general health status, and quality of life in individuals with rheumatoid arthritis.

This is a phase 3 study to evaluate the usability of the CT-P47 auto-injector in patients with moderate to severe active rheumatoid arthritis.

Janus kinase (JAK) inhibitors are a new class of molecules available to the therapeutic arsenal for chronic inflammatory rheumatic diseases.The tolerance profile of this new class needs to be better defined and its use in real life further established. The French Society of Rheumatologists intends to coordinate a prospective national registry study for this follow-up. This registry will include at least 1500 Rheumatoid Arthritis (RA) and 150 patients with psoriatic arthritis from the start of treatment with JAK inhibitor and then followed for 5 years. This registry is a longitudinal, multicentre, observational registry study. The objective of this national registry is to get a better understanding of the safety profiles of JAK inhibitors and get knowledge of their use in daily practice in order to optimize this use and potentially integrate JAK inhibitors into personalised medicine strategies. This registry will generate efficacy data, especially therapeutic maintenance, observation, allowing inter-registry comparisons with other biologic compounds in the French population, and can be aggregated with other similar registries in other countries.

This is a Post-Marketing Surveillance study of GMK Sphere cementless knee prosthesis.

The purpose of this study is to learn about the safety and effects of the study medicine for the potential treatment of Psoriatic Arthritis (PsA). Psoriatic Arthritis is a joint swelling disease that can also affect the skin, nails and eyes. The study medicine is called Tofacitinib. This study is seeking participants who: Started taking tofacitinib alone or with other approved medicines (eg. methotrexate, leflunomide, sulfasalazine, apremilast) for PsA disease. We will only look at participants' who started tofacitinib after December 14, 2017. Have a 6-month follow-up visit (with a 3-month window) This is an observational study. Participants receiving Tofacitinib will be included to assess how well tofacitinib works. We will look at participants' demographic information and therapy history. We will also monitor participants' disease progression before and 6 months after treatment. We will examine the experiences of people receiving the study medicine. This will help us determine if the study medicine is safe and effective.

A clinical trial investigating the safety and effectiveness of Smith and Nephew's FDA-approved Porous Total Knee System, which is used to replace worn away and diseased knee joints. The aim of this study is to show that most patients who receive the Porous Total Knee System have reduced pain, greater mobility and a long-lasting implant post-surgery.

Treatment of moderate to severe Psoriasis (Pso) and Psoriasis-Arthritis (PsA) is largely confined to systemic therapy in Germany. Systemic therapy includes conventional systemic therapy (e.g. fumaric acids, methotrexate, ciclosporin A) and biological treatment (e.g. adalimumab, etanercept). While short- and middle-term efficacy of most systemic treatments has been shown in clinical studies (and is incorporated in international guidelines), knowledge about long-term outcomes, optimal treatment and effectiveness under real-world conditions is still missing. PsoBest, the German registry on the treatment of moderate to severe Pso and PsA started in 2008 and documents the long-term course of patients being administered any biologic or conventional systemic antipsoriatic drug authorized in Germany for the first time. The registry evaluates the long-term course of 3,500 patients with Pso and PsA treated with systemic antipsoriatics.
