Does an exclusion diet help juvenile arthritis?
Part of Bones, joints & muscles, Immune system & allergy, Skin clinical trials.
This study tests if removing certain foods can improve arthritis symptoms in children aged 6 to 17. It may be an option if current medicines are not working well or if you want to explore dietary changes.

This Phase 3 study tests whether children with early juvenile idiopathic arthritis do better by starting with one treatment approach and adjusting (stepping up or stepping down) based on how their arthritis responds. It may help find the safest, most effective long-term plan for controlling symptoms with fewer side effects.
This trial tests whether a special diet can help children and teens with juvenile arthritis. If you join, you will follow the diet and provide stool samples so the researchers can see how it affects your gut and arthritis.
This trial tests whether children with juvenile idiopathic arthritis (JIA) who have been doing well for over a year can safely reduce their medications. The goal is to find the best way to keep arthritis under control while avoiding unnecessary treatments.
