Ultrasound Enthesitis Response in Psoriatic Arthritis
The aim of this observational study will be to recruit 100 Psoriatic Arthritis (PsA) patients beginning on their biologic therapy and asses, both clinically and with the use of ultrasound (US), how enthesitis responds to biologic treatment. The decision to start treatment with a biologic therapy will be made by the patients' usual clinical rheumatology team, as part of their standard clinical care. This is independent of the study. Patients in whom treatment with these drugs for their PsA has been recommended will then be invited to participate in this study.They will then be commenced on biologic therapy at doses in line with the Summary...

Ultrasound in Psoriatic Arthritis Treatment
BACKGROUND Psoriatic arthritis (PsA) is a systemic inflammatory disease with articular and extra-articular features. Establishing the prognosis of a patient with PsA is hence important to define the treatment strategy. Currently, observational and prospective cohort studies have identified prognostic factors correlating with the achievement of therapeutic response. Nevertheless, despite the importance of identifying prognostic factors in a disease with a functional disability comparable to rheumatoid arthritis, the studies are still limited. PRIMARY OBJECTIVE In PsA with clinically active joint disease starting a new course of therapy, to...

Use of Transcutaneous Electrical Nerve Stimulation for Reducing Biologic Injection Site Pain(TENS Study)
The purpose of this research study is to determine the efficacy of TENS therapy in reducing the pain experienced by patients during and after the injection of biological medications. The study team is interested in recording the level of pain reduction from TENS therapy to determine if this intervention is effective at reducing discomfort associated with medication administration so that it may possibly be applied to other patients in an effort to reduce treatment-related discomfort, anxiety, and possibly increase adherence. A total of 10-20 subjects at one research site will be recruited to participate, specifically, individuals who...

WORKWELL: Testing Work Advice for People With Arthritis
Background: Inflammatory arthritis (IA) causes work disability, absenteeism (sick leave) and presenteeism (reduced productivity) at high cost to individuals, employers and society. A trial of job retention vocational rehabilitation (VR) amongst people with IA in the US showed that VR reduced work disability. However, it is unknown whether this approach transfers to the United Kingdom (UK) with a different social and welfare structure. Previously, we modified the VR for the UK, funded by Arthritis Research UK (the WORKWELL programme) and demonstrated it to be deliverable and acceptable in a feasibility trial. Our aim now is to move to the...
