Active clinical trials for "Spondylitis"

The aim of the present study is to assess the effectiveness of resistance training with swiss ball in the treatment of patients with ankylosing spondylitis.

To compare the efficacy of golimumab with pamidronate in the treatment of axial spondyloarthropathy

The purpose of this study is to provide 16-week efficacy, safety and tolerability data versus placebo to support the use of secukinumab 150 mg by subcutaneous (s.c.) self-administration with or without a loading regimen and maintenance dosing using pre-filled syringe (PFS) and to assess efficacy, safety and tolerability up to 2 years in subjects with active AS despite current or previous NSAID, non-biologic DMARD, or biologic anti-TNFα therapy.

The purpose of this study is to evaluate the efficacy of intravenously (administration of a fluid into the vein) administered golimumab 2 milligram per kilogram (mg/kg) in participants with active ankylosing spondylitis (chronic inflammatory disease of unknown etiology that involves the sacroiliac joints, and often the axial skeleton, entheses, and peripheral joints).

Purpose: to assess the efficacy of a physical training program in patients with ankylosing spondylitis (AS) in a randomized controlled study

The overall purpose of the trial is to assess the clinical efficacy of three different subcutaneous doses of BI 655066 (risankizumab) in adult patients with AS, in order to provide clinical proof of concept and to select dose (s) for confirmatory clinical trials.

Axial Spondyloarthritis (SpA) is a kind of inflammatory arthritis which includes ankylosing spondylitis. Common symptoms of axial SpA are inflammatory back pain, morning stiffness, peripheral arthritis, enthesitis. Controlling aforementioned symptoms are one of the goal in treatment, and another goal is preventing bony ankylosis of axial skeleton such as spine. Ankylosis can limit range of motion and lower the quality of life. Non-steroidal antiinflammatory drug (NSAID) and Tumor necrosis factor (TNF)-a inhibitor are the current treatment options for axial SpA. These medications can improve pain and stiffness of axial SpA patients, however preventing bony ankylosis is not proven. Current study showed attenuating inflammation at early stage could prevent further bony destruction and ankylosis in axial SpA. Present study is designed to discover the therapeutic effect of NSAID whether NSAID could recover the early inflammatory bony change (bone marrow edema at MRI) and prevent further bony change.

Recent evidence suggests the efficacy of "custom pack" procedure on the operators reduction time and on the contamination risk due to the opening of many sterile packs. Nevertheless ,the studies available are sponsored by the industry and their results are very few. The aim of this study is to evaluate the correlation and reliability of spine surgery "custom pack" efficacy in adult patients obtained in the reduction of surgery time, relative risks, and materials wasted compared with the standard surgical field procedure practice .

The purpose of this trial is to demonstrate the clinical efficacy at week 16; and to demonstrate safety and tolerability of secukinumab compared to placebo in patients with ankylosing spondylitis at week 16 and long term safety up to Week 52.

To evaluate the efficacy of KHK4827 in axSpA (ankylosing spondylitis [AS] and non-radiographic axial spondyloarthritis [nr-axSpA]) subjects compared to placebo, as measured by the proportion of axSpA subjects achieving an Assessment of SpondyloArthritis international Society (ASAS) 40 response at week 16.
