Oral health and saliva bacteria in children with juvenile idiopathic arthritis
Part of Bones, joints & muscles, Immune system & allergy, Skin clinical trials.
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.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- Your child must be between 6 and 16 years old.
- Your child must have a diagnosis of juvenile idiopathic arthritis (JIA), but not the systemic-onset type.
- Your child must either have active arthritis with a plan to start or adjust medication within a month, or be in remission with stable disease.
- Your child must be able to cooperate with an oral exam and saliva sample collection.
- A parent or guardian must provide consent, and the child must agree to participate.
- Your child must not have used antibiotics in the last 3 months, or certain mouthwashes in the last month, and must not have other conditions like diabetes or heart disease.
- Your child must not have an active infection or dental braces or planned braces in the next 6 months.
