U.S., Aug. 26 -- ClinicalTrials.gov registry received information related to the study (NCT07785089) titled 'Ultrasound and Shear Wave Elastography Assessment of Entheses in Psoriatic Arthritis' on July 26.
Brief Summary: Psoriatic arthritis (PsA) is a chronic inflammatory disease that frequently involves the entheses, where tendons, ligaments, and fascia insert into bone. Early detection of enthesitis is important for disease assessment and management. Conventional musculoskeletal ultrasonography, including grayscale and Power Doppler ultrasonography, can identify structural and inflammatory changes, while shear wave elastography (SWE) provides quantitative information about tissue stiffness. This observational cross-sectional study aims ...
