About this study

Official title: Detection of Subclinical Enthesitis by Ultrasonography in Psoriasis Patients With Psoriasis and Controls: by Ultrasonography; Incidence of Psoriatic Arthritis During Within One 1 Year

Detection of subclinical enthesitis by ultrasonography

Read the detailed description

A total of 30 patients with psoriasis and 30 age-matched healthy controls, all without musculoskeletal diseases, will be recruited. They will undergo dermatological assessment and a blinded ultrasound (US) evaluation. Clinical assessment included demographics, severity of psoriasis and musculoskeletal clinical examination. Evaluation consisted of the detection of grey scale (GS) enthesitis and Power Doppler signal in enthesis areas. The Madrid Sonography Enthesitis Index (MASEI) scoring system was used to quantify the extent of sonographic entheseal abnormalities.

What is being measured

The primary outcome is the main question the study is designed to answer.

  1. Detection of Subclinical Enthesitis by Ultrasonography in Psoriasis Patients with Psoriasis and Controls: by Ultrasonography; Incidence of Psoriatic Arthritis During Within One 1 Year

    Incidence of subclinical enthesitis,To investigate the incidence of subclinical enthesitis in patients with psoriasis

    Measured: 1 year.

Secondary outcomes (1)
  1. Number of participants with Risk factors of subclinical enthesitis

    To find out predictor factors of subclinical enthesitis in patients with psoriasis. To assess increase in enthesis area and PsA incidence, and show a possible relationship with baseline findings in a prospective 1-year follow-up of patients with PsO.

    Measured: 1 year

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

An observational study of Enthesitis, run by Fatih Sultan Mehmet Training and Research Hospital at 1 site in Turkey (Türkiye).

The full registered description is in the About this study section and the official record.

Who may be eligible to take part?

The sponsor lists 4 inclusion and 4 exclusion criteria. Eligibility is decided by the study team after screening, so read the full criteria and contact a listed site.

Is this clinical trial currently recruiting?

The record says: finished, as of the sponsor's last update on 26 Jun 2023. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

Where is the study taking place?

The record lists 1 site in Turkey (Türkiye). Whether a site is taking part right now should be confirmed with that site. See every site.

What are the possible benefits and risks?

They depend on the study and the treatment, and no study can promise a benefit. The study team explains the known risks during informed consent, before anyone joins; the record itself does not list them.

Are results available for this study?

The study is completed, but results are not available in the source record. That does not mean the treatment did or did not work.

How can a doctor refer a patient or contact the research team?

The record lists no contact. The official record names the sponsor, who can be asked directly. AzTrials does not enrol participants or take referrals.

What does the primary outcome measure?

Detection of Subclinical Enthesitis by Ultrasonography in Psoriasis Patients with Psoriasis and Controls: by Ultrasonography; Incidence of Psoriatic Arthritis During Within One 1 Year (time frame: 1 year.). It is what the study was designed to measure, not a finding.

Where can I read the original study information?
Does a listing mean the treatment is approved or proven to work?

No. A listing means the study is registered. It does not show that the treatment is safe, works, or is approved by a regulator.

How often is this information updated?

AzTrials copies changed records from ClinicalTrials.gov every night and reloads the whole registry every week. The sponsor last updated this record on 26 Jun 2023.
