Blood tests to measure inflammation in juvenile arthritis
Part of Bones, joints & muscles, Immune system & allergy, Skin clinical trials.
This study looks at certain blood tests in children with juvenile idiopathic arthritis (JIA) to see if they can help measure how active the disease is. The goal is to find simpler ways to track arthritis activity and guide treatment.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.

- Your child has juvenile idiopathic arthritis (JIA) as diagnosed by a doctor.

This study looks at how oral health and mouth bacteria relate to disease activity in children with juvenile idiopathic arthritis (JIA). If your child has JIA, participating could help doctors understand more about the condition and may guide future treatments.
This study looks at inflammation of the tendons (tenosynovitis) in children with juvenile idiopathic arthritis (JIA). It may help doctors better understand and treat this condition.
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 study looks at how well children with JIA (arthritis in one knee) can walk and balance, using a simple test called the Dynamic Gait Index. It aims to find a better way to measure walking problems in kids with JIA.
