What the study statuses mean

This study's is highlighted.

Recruitment status, easiest to join first

Recruiting now
This trial is taking on new participants right now.
Not yet recruiting This study
Registered, but not yet taking participants.
By invitation only
Not open to general applications. Only people the study team invites can take part.
Paused
Paused for now. It may or may not start again.
Ongoing
Running, but no longer taking on new participants.
Completed
The trial has finished. Results may not be published yet.
Stopped early
Stopped early, before it reached the end. That can be for many reasons, including safety.

Expanded access (not trials)

Expanded access
Not a trial. This treatment can be requested outside a study, case by case, for people who qualify.
Expanded access (paused)
Not a trial. The treatment can normally be requested outside a study, but is unavailable right now.
Expanded access (ended)
Not a trial. The treatment could once be requested outside a study, but no longer can.

Summary

This study will use ultrasound to check for tendon inflammation (tenosynovitis) in children with two types of juvenile idiopathic arthritis (JIA): polyarticular and oligoarticular. Researchers will examine 106 children under 16 at Assiut University Hospital, comparing physical exams with ultrasound images to see how often hidden inflammation occurs. The goal is to improve early detection and care for kids with JIA.

What this could mean

Our plain-language read of the trial. This is informational only, not medical advice or a prediction.

What this could lead to
If successful, this could help doctors better detect and treat tendon inflammation in children with JIA, potentially preventing long-term joint damage.
What could go wrong
This is an early observational study with only 106 participants, so results may not apply to all children with JIA. It does not test a new treatment.

Copied word for word from the study's registry entry, so the wording is the study team's rather than ours.

Inclusion Criteria: * Children and adolescents (typically under 16 years of age at the time of onset) diagnosed with Juvenile Idiopathic Arthritis (JIA). * Patients of both genders. * Patients or their legal guardians who provide written informed consent/assent to participate in the study. Exclusion Criteria: * Patients more than 16 years of age. * Patients with arthritis secondary to other known causes (e.g., trauma, infectious arthritis, malignancy, or other systemic autoimmune diseases like Systemic Lupus Erythematosus). * Patients with a history of major orthopedic surgery at the examined entheseal sites. * Active infection or metabolic disease that may affect musculoskeletal structures. * Patients who decline participation or fail to provide informed consent.
