How Tolectin Affects Patients

Tolmetin is a type of medicine used to reduce inflammation, pain, and fever. It has been studied in animals and found to be effective in preventing arthritis and relieving inflammation. In people, tolmetin has been found to be just as effective as aspirin or indomethacin in treating conditions like rheumatoid arthritis and osteoarthritis, but with fewer side effects. Additionally, when taken in combination with other treatments like gold salts or corticosteroids, tolmetin has been found to provide additional therapeutic benefits. Unfortunately, taking tolmetin with salicylates is not recommended,

How Tolectin works in the body

We don't know exactly how tolmetin works. Tests in animals and humans show it reduces inflammation by stopping the production of prostaglandins. This reduction may be responsible for its anti-inflammatory effect. Tolmetin does not seem to change the course of the underlying disease.

Answered by AI

What was Vioxx used for?

"What is Vioxx?

Vioxx is a medication used to relieve pain. It belongs to a class of drugs called nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs). Vioxx is a COX-2 selective NSAID, which means it works by specifically targeting an enzyme known to cause pain and inflammation. Vioxx is related to other NSAIDs such as ibuprofen and naproxen, but it is more selective in its actions. Vioxx is a prescription medication used to relieve arthritis pain, acute pain in adults, and painful menstrual cycles."

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

Any Age
All Sexes
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

18+
All Sexes
Minneapolis, MN

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.
