The Impact

Objectives. The purpose of this study was to evaluate the impact of manual therapy on the management of rheumatoid arthritis (RA) patients with knee pain. Materials and Methods. This was a small, randomized clinical pilot study. Subjects were 46 patients with diagnosed RA, randomly assigned to the manual therapy group (postisometric relaxation and joint mobilization) or control group (standard exercise). Subjects in each group had 10 sessions of interventions, once a day with one day break after the sixth day. Outcomes included the pain intensity of knee, Knee Society Score, Oxford Knee Score, and Health Assessment Questionnaire. Results. There were no statistically significant differences between groups, except for the pain intensity of the knee. Conclusions. This study suggests that manual therapy (postisometric relaxation and joint mobilization) may have clinical benefits for treating knee pain and function in rheumatoid patients. Further extended studies are expected to determine the effectiveness of manual therapy in RA patients with knee pain.

Cause Of Pain

A retrospective analysis of bone scans of 381 children with unexplained skeletal pain was made. Of these, findings are reported on 358 for whom there were sufficient clinical data. The bone scan results suggested trauma as the cause of pain in 43 patients, inflammatory disease in 73 patients, and neoplasia in ten patients. There was only one false-positive bone scan. Normal findings were obtained from 227 patients, in whom no significant skeletal disease was detected on follow-up, except for juvenile rheumatoid arthritis in 23 patients. Bone scintigraphy is, therefore, an important, noninvasive diagnostic test for evaluating children with obscure bone or joint pain. We recommend that this test be performed early in the evaluation of these children to arrive at the diagnosis expeditiously and with minimal patient discomfort and morbidity.

Pituitary Adrenal Axis

Objectives. Hypothalamic-Pituitary-Adrenal axis function may be abnormal in rheumatoid arthritis (RA). A pilot study in 7 patients suggested impaired glucocorticoid feedback in some patients after the dexamethasone-corticotrophin releasing hormone (CRH) test. This study aimed to investigate the dexamethasone-corticotrophin releasing factor test in a larger group of patients and relate the results to characteristics of the disease.Methods. Outpatients with active RA (≥3 swollen and tender joints and C-reactive protein > 10 mg/L) took dexamethasone (1.5 mg) at 23:00 hour in the evening. Next day, baseline saliva and plasma samples were collected, CRH was infused at 11:00 hour, and 4 serial blood and saliva samples were collected. Plasma samples were stored at−80∘Cand a radioimmunoassay performed for saliva and plasma cortisol.Results. All 20 participants showed normal dexamethasone suppression and mounted no response to the CRH challenge. In samples with measurable cortisol, there was a strong correlation between saliva and plasma values (r= 0.876,n= 26,P<.01).Conclusion. No abnormalities were found in the Dexamethasone-CRH test in RA patients in contrast to a previous pilot study. Salivary cortisol measurement may offer an alternative noninvasive technique to plasma cortisol in RA patients in future studies.
