Design outcomes
Primary
| Measure | Time frame |
|---|---|
| Main Objective: To evaluate the changes observed by MRI on radiologic signs of osteoarticular inflammation (synovitis, bone edema, tenosynovitis and bone erosions).;Secondary Objective: To evaluate changes in pain, hand functionality and quality of life scale scores.;Primary end point(s): The evaluation of changes observed on MRI radiologic signs of osteoarticular's disease. The two MRI performed will include imaging in axial, coronal and sagittal sections of the proximal and distal interphalangeal joints of the dominant hand with T1, T1 Fat-Sat with gadolinium and T2 FAT-SAT. Images will be scored according to the standard method of evaluation of erosive hand osteoarthritis by MRI. This assessment includes scoring of: - Synovitis: 0-3 - Tenosynovitis of the flexor tendons: 0-3 - Bone edema: 0-3, proximal/distal -Ligamentous involvement injury: presence/absence of discontinuity; distal/proxima side. - Osteopyhtes (structual changes): 0-3; distal/proximal - Subchondral cysts (structural changes): presence/absence; distal/proximal. - Joint space narrowing (structural changes): 0-3 - Bone erosion: 0-3 distal/proximal The scans will be reported by two expert radiologists experienced in musculoskeletal MRI, blinded to all clinical data.;Timepoint(s) of evaluation of this end point: The MRI will be performed at visits 0 and 4. | — |
Secondary
| Measure | Time frame |
|---|---|
| Secondary end point(s): Changes on scores of pain, quality of life and function on osteoarthritis questionnaires: -VAS scale -Quality of LifeQuestionnaire EuroQol-5d -AUSCAN hand function scale. Hand strength measured by a cuff (previously inflated to 60 mmHg). Security index evaluated by urine and blood analysis. Analytical changes in inflammatory parameters.;Timepoint(s) of evaluation of this end point: - VAS and AUSCAN scales will be performed in all visits. - EuroQol-5d will be performed at visits 0, 2, 4 and 6 - Urine and blood analysis at visits -1, 1, 2, 3, 4 and 6 - Pression force at visits 0, 1, 2, 3, 4, 5 and 6. | — |
