Arthritis Paid Clinical Trials in Maryland

Prospective, single-center that may go on to being multicenter, randomized trial comparing platelet rich plasma (PRP) versus corticosteroid injection for the treatment of symptoms of Hip osteoarthritis. The purpose of the study is to determine which therapy provides a greater reduction in patient reported outcome measures of pain and function. Read Less

Background: Inflammatory conditions can cause symptoms like fevers, arthritis, and rash. Systemic juvenile idiopathic arthritis (sJIA) is one of these conditions. So is adult-onset Still s disease (AOSD). Their causes are unknown. Researchers want to learn more about these conditions. This includes genetic changes and environmental factors. Objective: To study sJIA and AOSD in children and adults over time. Eligibility: People with known or suspected sJIA, AOSD, or similar inflammatory condition Design: Participants will be screened with a phone call. Participants will have 1 visit. It may be outpatient or they may be admitted to the clinic. The visit may last up to 5 days. Participants will have: * Medical history * Physical exam * Musculoskeletal exam * Questions about overall health and quality of life, disease activity, functional status, and cognitive ability. Participants may also have: * Pictures taken of their skin, joints, or spine * Blood, urine, and stool tests * Scans or X-rays of joints with arthritis * Chest X-ray * Heart tests * Skin biopsy. The skin will be numbed. The top layers of a small area will be scraped off. Participants who have a joint aspiration may provide a fluid sample. The joint will be prepared, then fluid is removed by needle. A corticosteroid may be injected. Participants who have a bone marrow biopsy may provide sample cells. Participants may be seen by NIH specialists. Members of the participant s family and healthy volunteers may give blood or saliva samples for genetic testing. Participants may repeat some study tests every 6 months. ... Read Less

The registry will capture prospective data on patients receiving pain management for chronic pain due to knee osteoarthritis (OA) or pain optimization for knee arthroplasty due to knee OA. The OA pain therapies may include cryo nerve block, radiofrequency ablation (RFA), intra-articular (IA) corticosteroids, viscosupplementation, opioids, and others (e.g., non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs \[NSAIDs\]).

This post-marketing study is designed to compare the safety of baricitinib versus tumor necrosis factor (TNF) inhibitors with respect to venous thromboembolic events (VTEs) when given to participants with rheumatoid arthritis (RA). Read Less

The main purpose of this study is to demonstrate that when participants with psoriatic arthritis and obesity or overweight in the presence of at least 1 weight-related comorbid condition receive ixekizumab and tirzepatide concomitantly administered, participants see improvement in their psoriatic arthritis and achieve weight reduction compared to when receiving ixekizumab. Participation in this study includes up to 12 visits and could last up to 61 weeks including screening, open label treatment period, and post-treatment follow-up period. Read Less

This Phase 2b, multicenter, double-blind, placebo-controlled, randomized withdrawal study is designed to assess the efficacy and safety of IMVT-1402 in adult participants with active, difficult-to-treat, anti-citrullinated protein autoantibody (ACPA) positive rheumatoid arthritis (RA). The primary objective is to evaluate the effects of IMVT-1402 compared to placebo, as measured by the American College of Rheumatology 20% (ACR20) response. Read Less

This study will assess the serum uric acid lowering effect and safety of AR882 in gout patients at two doses compared to placebo over 12 months Read Less

This study evaluates the addition of duloxetine to aerobic exercise in the treatment of symptomatic knee osteoarthritis and depressive symptoms in adults. All participants will receive the receive the treatment protocol, which will first be evaluated in terms of feasibility and then pilot tested. Read Less

In order to continue progressing towards outpatient total hip arthroplasty (THA), methods to adequately manage postoperative pain is of paramount importance. The purpose of this study is to quantify the effectiveness of the pericapsular nerve block in total hip arthroplasty in comparison to the fascia iliaca nerve block. Read Less

Patients with degenerative joint disease can effectively be treated with a primary total knee replacement to reduce pain and improve function in their daily lives. Theoretically, achievement of normal knee motion using a medial pivot design in total knee replacements can be recreated in comparison to single radius designs, which could lead to an improvement in post-surgical outcomes and satisfaction with the procedure. The aim of this study is to compare two types of implant designs (medial pivot and single radius) in a total knee replacement using clinical outcomes, patient reported outcomes, and overall function assessed by a specialized gait laboratory.
