Vaccinations
Read our guidance about vaccines and arthritis, including why you need them, side-effects and reducing risk of infection.
Hyaluronan injections
Hyaluronan injections are used to treat osteoarthritis. Learn how they work, how long they take, risks and side-effects.
Steroid injections
Steroid injections are used to treat inflammatory types of arthritis. Learn how they work, how long they take, risks and side-effects.
Gold injections (Myocrisin)
Gold injections (Myocrisin) are a DMARD used for conditions such as rheumatoid arthritis and psoriatic arthritis.
Osteoarthritis - Reducing infections of bone implants for people with arthritis
Learn about our research in reducing the risk of infection from joint replacement surgery, with a substance inspired by the way edible mussels attach to rocks.
Rheumatoid arthritis - What is the best route for injecting tolerogenic dendritic cells into people with rheumatoid arthritis?
Read more about what is the best route for injecting tolerogenic dendritic cells into people with rheumatoid arthritis?
Tendonitis - A study to evaluate an injection to improve Achilles tendon pain
Learn more about our research which aims to test whether injecting a patient's own blood into their painful tendon is an effective method of treatment.
IVD degeneration - Developing a new injectable treatment for spinal disc degeneration
Learn about our research into testing the safety of an injectable gel material for disc degeneration, by injection into elderly sheep with disc degeneration.
Infrapatellar longitudinal scan
Watch a video of infrapatellar longitudinal scan. By moving the probe inferiorly, the patellar ligament is followed to its insertion on the tibial tuberosity.
Suprapatellar longitudinal scan in maximal flexion
Watch a video of a suprapatellar longitudinal scan in maximal flexion. Maximal flexion allows better inspection of the cartilage on the femoral condyle.
Suprapatellar transverse scan in maximal flexion
Watch a video of a suprapatellar transverse scan in maximal flexion. Maximal flexion allows better inspection of the cartilage on the femoral condyle.
Back pain - Do bacterial infections in the spine contribute to disc degeneration and lower back pain?
Learn about our research which aims to investigate if bacteria coming from other parts of the body enter the spine and contribute to disc degeneration.
Lyme arthritis
Lyme disease is an infection transferred from ticks. It feels similar to arthritis (inflammation and muscle pain). Learn the causes, symptoms and treatments.
Vasculitis - Vaccine responses in ANCA associated vasculitis (AAV)
Learn about our research into whether rituximab is negatively affecting vaccines and if a combination of vaccines is better at reducing the risk of infection.
COVID-19 - The role of the immune system in developing fatigue
Learn more about our research into the role of the immune system in the development, severity and persistence of fatigue following COVID-19 infection.
