Joint problems without inflammation in children
Part of Bones, joints & muscles, Brain & nervous system, Genetic & congenital, Hormones & metabolism, Skin clinical trials.
This study looks at children with joint problems that are not caused by inflammation, such as stiffness or deformities, to understand the different causes and how to diagnose them. If your child has these symptoms but normal blood tests for inflammation, this research may help find the right diagnosis.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You child is 18 years old or younger at the time of diagnosis.
- Your child has joint problems like stiffness, deformity, or bone abnormalities.

This study checks special lab markers in joint fluid to tell septic (infected) arthritis apart from other inflammatory causes in children. It may help clinicians detect infection more accurately and quickly so kids can get the right treatment.
This study collects medical information (and imaging results) from children and teens with nonbacterial bone inflammation. It may help doctors better understand how this condition looks on scans and how it’s diagnosed, especially to rule out infection or cancer.
This study follows children and teens who have an inflammatory rheumatism condition that started in childhood. It aims to better understand these illnesses and how they affect young people over time.
This study looks at two substances in the blood (IL-18 and IL-18BP) to see if they can help doctors tell apart different causes of fever and inflammation in children. It might help find better ways to diagnose conditions like juvenile idiopathic arthritis and autoinflammatory diseases.
This study aims to learn more about the causes and genetics of two related inflammatory conditions: systemic juvenile idiopathic arthritis (sJIA) in children and adult-onset Still's disease (AOSD) in adults. By studying patients and healthy volunteers, researchers hope to understand these diseases better and find better ways to treat them.
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.
