Antibiotic treatment for brucellosis with spine and joint pain
Part of Bones, joints & muscles, Infections clinical trials.
This study tests whether a type of antibiotic called a fluoroquinolone works better for people with brucellosis (a bacterial infection from animals) who also have inflammation in the spine or the joints connecting the lower back and pelvis. It may help reduce pain and clear the infection more effectively.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.

This trial tests whether an antibiotic (amoxicillin) can reduce chronic low back pain in people who have a specific type of bone change (Modic type I) after a past herniated disc. If you qualify, you would receive either the antibiotic or a placebo (inactive pill) for several weeks.
This study tests whether adding the antibiotic rifampicin to standard treatment works better than standard treatment alone for staph infections in hip or knee replacements. The goal is to find a more effective way to clear the infection and avoid more surgeries.
This study follows people with confirmed brucellosis, epidemic hemorrhagic fever, or kala-azar (visceral leishmaniasis) to understand how these infections behave in real life. It may help improve care by collecting evidence on diagnosis and treatment outcomes.
This trial tests whether adding the antibiotic doxycycline to standard treatment can improve recovery in patients with tuberculosis of the brain (TB meningitis). It may help reduce brain swelling and damage.
This trial tests a shorter course of antibiotics for people with mild spinal tuberculosis. It aims to see if a shorter treatment works just as well as the standard longer course, which could mean fewer side effects and a quicker recovery.
This trial tests whether adding a common antibiotic (benzathine penicillin) to a standard biologic drug (etanercept) can better treat spondyloarthritis. It may help if you have active disease and are free of certain infections.
