Effectiveness

How Oxaprozin Affects Patients

Oxaprozin is a type of medication used to reduce pain, inflammation, and fever. It is commonly used for treating rheumatoid arthritis, osteoarthritis, and menstrual cramps.

How Oxaprozin works in the body

Oxaprozin works to reduce inflammation by blocking the creation of molecules that cause inflammation. It also helps lower fever by causing more blood to flow to the body's surface, which helps it cool down. Oxaprozin is not selective, meaning it affects both molecules that cause inflammation and molecules that help protect the stomach.

The proposed dosage of Oxaprozin is contingent upon the diagnosed condition, such as Rheumatoid Arthritis, Rheumatoid Arthritis, Juvenile and Osteoarthritis (OA). The measure of dosage is contingent upon the delivery approach (e.g. Oral or Tablet, film coated) presented in the following table.

Oxaprozin for Rheumatoid Arthritis

At first, this medication provided relief from the pleurisy in both of my lungs. However, now it doesn't seem to be doing anything. It's still difficult for me to breathe and I'm still experiencing chest pain.

I have adult scoliosis, and I tried this treatment for the back/leg pain. Unfortunately, it didn't help with the pain at all and just gave me stomach problems and diarrhea. The doctor prescribed another drug for me instead.

I'm not convinced this really works. Every time I go out in the sun for even a few minutes, I end up with hives and blisters that last for over a week. This happens even when I use sunscreen.

Health Coaching for Rheumatoid Arthritis

18+
All Sexes
New York, NY

The goal of this clinical trial is to learn if peer coaching works to reduce levels of anxiety and/or depression in adults diagnosed with Rheumatoid Arthritis (RA). The main questions it aims to answer are: Do people with RA who complete the intervention with a peer coach have lower levels of anxiety and/or depression at 6 months from baseline? Do people with RA who complete the intervention with a peer coach have lower levels of anxiety and/or depression at 6 months compared to those in the control arm? Researchers will compare the peer coaching intervention to an active-control arm (where people without RA coach participants on general health and nutrition topics) to see if peer coaching works to reduce anxiety and/or depression. Participants will meet with a coach every week for 9 weeks and complete several surveys before, during and after the intervention

Academic Detailing for Rheumatoid Arthritis

Louisville, KY

The goal of this trial is to learn if an interactive evidence-based educational outreach visits to clinicians who prescribe biologics change prescribing of biosimilar medications. The main questions it aims to answer are: 1. Do educational outreach visits lead to a higher number of prescriptions for biosimilar versions of adalimumab? 2. Do in-person or virtual visits work better? Researchers will compare clinicians offered the educational outreach visit to those who are not offered the visit to see if there is a difference in prescribing of biosimilar versions of adalimumab instead of the original brand-name version. Participants will be offered the chance to meet with a trained clinician who will provide educational information tailored to their knowledge and attitudes on the topic. They will also be provided an educational brochure and patient educational materials.

Electromagnetic Resonance Therapy for Autoimmune Diseases

New York, NY

The ImmuneNet study is a Phase I/II clinical trial sponsored by Truway Health, Inc. It will test whether gentle, low-frequency electromagnetic resonance (LF-EMR) can influence how immune cells communicate and synchronize with each other. The goal is to see if this "quantum-synaptic" signaling effect can help stabilize immune activity and reduce the number of autoimmune flare-ups in people living with conditions such as lupus, rheumatoid arthritis, or multiple sclerosis. Participants will receive either an active or a sham (placebo) LF-EMR session three times per week for twelve weeks. Each session is completely non-invasive. Blood samples will be collected to study cytokines (immune-system messenger molecules), gene-expression patterns, and electrical field coherence among immune cells. A machine-learning system will analyze these data to predict inflammation patterns and guide individualized treatment settings. All participant data will be securely recorded and time-stamped to ensure transparency and privacy. The expected outcome of the study is a measurable reduction in autoimmune flare frequency and symptom severity, along with improved understanding of how electromagnetic signaling might safely regulate immune function.

Ultrasound Therapy for Rheumatoid Arthritis

The At-Home ULTRA Study will evaluate performance of the MINI system as indicated for the treatment of adults with active, moderate to severe rheumatoid arthritis who are inadequate responders or are intolerant to conventional synthetic disease-modifying anti-rheumatic drugs (csDMARDs), biologic DMARDs (bDMARDs), or targeted synthetic DMARDs (tsDMARDs). The non-invasive study device delivers ultrasound stimulation to the spleen to reduce inflammation. The study will enroll at least 60 participants at up to 8 sites. There will be three arms consisting of two active stimulation groups (treatment) and one non-active stimulation group (sham-control). After completing the double-blinded primary endpoint assessment period at Week 12, there will be a one-way crossover of control participants to active stimulation and an additional 12 week follow-up with all participants to evaluate long-term outcomes.

Primary Care for Rheumatoid Arthritis

18+
All Sexes
Potsdam, NY

Rheumatoid arthritis (RA) is a complex autoimmune disease where the immune system attacks healthy joint tissue; causing pain, swelling, and stiffness of the joints. This disease effects lots of people in the US and can lead to major joint damage if not properly treated. In rural areas like northern NY, these are underserved areas for RA patients, thus many patients struggle to get the appropriate care. This model is testing whether primary care providers (PCP) can safely and effectively provide stable RA patients with the proper treatment rather than send them to a specialist. PCPs were trained through classes, case reviews, and a final exam. Patients will be randomly assigned to either see a trained PCP or their normal rheumatologist at the rheumatology clinic. This study will examine how patients are doing over a year using medical exams and patient feedback. If this model proves to be successful, it will make RA treatment easier and more affordable for patients.
