Official title
Sleep & Immune Mechanisms in Rheumatoid Arthritis: Remicade Substudy
Brief summary
Reproduced verbatim from the official ClinicalTrials.gov record. Not medical advice.
More than half of rheumatoid arthritis (RA) patients complain of sleep disturbance and this cardinal complaint is associated with fatigue, pain, and depressed mood in patient with chronic inflammatory disorder. Despite the frequency of this complaint, there is limited efforts to evaluate sleep or the abnormal increases in the expression of pro-inflammatory cytokines play a key role in the progression of RA, we hypothesize that the cytokine network is one physiological system that is associated with sleep disturbances in RA patients. Pro-inflammatory cytokines signal the central nervous system and are associated with increased symptoms of pain, fatigue, and depressed mood in rheumatic patients. The specific aims of the study are to examine the contribution of cytokines on sleep by administering a TNF antagonist vs. placebo to probe the action of pro-inflammatory cytokines on sleep in RA Patients. Examination of sleep and its consequences for pro-inflammatory cytokine activity within the framework of an observational and experimental research design will have implications for understanding the psycho-biological mechanisms that link sleep and the clinical manifestations of RA. Results from this study will guide the developments of interventions that target disordered sleep with potential effects on disability in RA.
