Overview

Chronic inflammatory rheumatisms (CIR) are a source of motor disability and various comorbidities, particularly cardiovascular and metabolic. They also significantly impact patients' quality of life, including sleep disturbances. Among CIRs, psoriatic arthritis is a chronic inflammatory arthropathy associated with psoriasis, typically seronegative for rheumatoid factor. This heterogeneous disease affects peripheral and/or axial joints and can include extra-articular manifestations such as uveitis and chronic inflammatory bowel diseases. Its prevalence is estimated between 0.3% and 1% in the general population.

SAPHO syndrome, similar to psoriatic arthritis, is characterized by specific bone involvement with a hypertrophic tendency, often affecting the axial skeleton and the anterior thoracic wall. Pain and inflammation are closely linked to sleep quality, creating a vicious cycle where pain disrupts sleep and poor sleep amplifies pain perception. Analgesic treatments, such as opioids, can also cause nocturnal respiratory pathologies, further disrupting sleep.

Inflammatory processes are regulated by sleep, influencing plasma concentrations of CRP, IL6, and TNF production. Patients with psoriatic arthritis or SAPHO syndrome share common risk factors with Obstructive Sleep Apnea Syndrome (OSAS), such as obesity, hypertension, and metabolic syndrome.

Sleep disorders are common in the general population and likely underdiagnosed in these patients. Several studies suggest a link between sleep disorders and these rheumatic conditions, affecting quality of life and exacerbating symptoms. Questionnaires like the Epworth and Pichot scales provide a more precise evaluation of these symptoms. However, objective sleep exploration through polysomnography has never been conducted in these patients.

In summary, CIRs, particularly psoriatic arthritis and SAPHO syndrome, significantly impact patients' quality of life and sleep, necessitating appropriate evaluation and management of associated sleep disorders.

FAQs

Learn more about clinical trials

What is a clinical trial?

A clinical trial is a study designed to test specific interventions or treatments' effectiveness and safety, paving the way for new, innovative healthcare solutions.

Why should I take part in a clinical trial?

Participating in a clinical trial provides early access to potentially effective treatments and directly contributes to the healthcare advancements that benefit us all.

How long does a clinical trial take place?

The duration of clinical trials varies. Some trials last weeks, some years, depending on the phase and intention of the trial.

Do I get compensated for taking part in clinical trials?

Compensation varies per trial. Some offer payment or reimbursement for time and travel, while others may not.

How safe are clinical trials?

Clinical trials follow strict ethical guidelines and protocols to safeguard participants' health. They are closely monitored and safety reviewed regularly.
