Active clinical trials for "Spondylarthritis"

The current study will assess the real - life effectiveness of adalimumab in the management of Ankylosing Spondylitis (AS) with emphasis on the prevention and management of extra-articular manifestations.

The purpose of this study is to investigate the incidence of adverse events for patients with AS treated with Enbrel in usual care settings.

This study evaluates how the trunk and proximal girdle muscles are affected in male patients with ankylosing spondylitis, compared to healthy controls.

The term axial spondyloarthritis (axSpA) describes a group of chronic inflammatory diseases that characterized with spinal involvement. AxSpA is one of the most common rheumatic diseases and chronic pain and morning stiffness are the main complaints of these patients. Central sensitization is defined as increased response to normal or sub-threshold stimuli of central nervous system and its close relationship with many rheumatological diseases has been demonstrated in several studies. Pain in axSpA patients is generally considered as a result of increased inflammatory burden and structural changes, However, failure to adequate analgesia in every patient whose inflammation is suppressed with anti-inflammatory treatment suggests new pain mechanisms. Central sensitization (CS) is one of these mechanisms and its recognition is only possible by detailed evaluation of the patient. There is no method for the diagnosis of central sensitization is accepted as a gold standard. clinical scales and quantitative sensory testing (QST) widely is used for this purpose widely. The most commonly used QST types include pressure pain threshold (PPT), temporal summation (TS) and conditioned pain modulation (CPM). The well-known scale used for the evaluation of central sensitization is the Central Sensitization Inventory , developed by Mayer et.al in 2011 for detect central sensitization in chronic pain patients. The aim of this study is to evaluate the frequency of central sensitization (CS) in patients with axSpA by means of clinical scales and quantitative sensory testing (QST), to examine related comorbidities and the parameters associated with the development of sensitization in these patients.

This investigation aims to investigate the frequency of pes planus and posterior tibial tendon dysfunction in patients with ankylosing spondylitis.

Patients with ankylosing spondylitis were divided into 2 groups as anti-TNF and conventional therapy according to the treatments they were using for the last 5 years. Nerve conduction studies in the upper and lower extremities of the patients were compared.

The main aim of this study is to ascertain general satisfaction among participants with rheumatic diseases with day-to-day use of the Benepali® prefilled pen by means of a standardised participant questionnaire. In addition, it is to be investigated whether differences exist in general participant satisfaction between participant groups who have undergone various prior treatment and/or have previous experience with application systems (participants new to the use of biologics, participants changing over from a prefilled injection or changing over from another pre-filled pen) and between participants of the various indication groups. Furthermore, the participants are to evaluate various aspects of using the Benepali® pre-filled pen based on their personal experience, such as e.g. handling, user-friendliness and features of the Benepali® pre-filled pen, as well as the effectiveness of the training on injection with the Benepali® pre-filled pen, based on participant satisfaction with the training received with the training pen and the evaluation of the training material received.

This is a prospective observational national (France) study with 2 visits 3 months apart (baseline and 12 weeks after TNF alpha blockers initiation). The objective of recruitment is 500 SpA patients (diagnosis according to their treating rheumatologist) initiating a TNF alpha blocker. The main objective of the study is to evaluate the impact of a concomitant fibromyalgia on the anti-TNF treatment effect in axial Spondyloarthritis in both anti-TNF naïve and pre-exposed patients.

The objective of this study is to evaluate the effect of adalimumab on health outcomes in participants with rheumatoid arthritis, ankylosing spondylitis and plaque psoriasis.

The objective of this post-marketing observational study (PMOS) was to evaluate the effectiveness of adalimumab plus the AbbVie Care 2.0 patient support program in participants with rheumatoid arthritis (RA), ankylosing spondylitis (AS), psoriatic arthritis (PsA), psoriasis (Ps), Crohn's disease (CD) or ulcerative colitis (UC) in the routine clinical setting in Hungary.
