To develop French recommendations about the clinical and laboratory follow-up of patients with axial ankylosing spondylitis (AS) seen in everyday practice. ⋯ Recommendations about the clinical and laboratory follow-up of patients with AS were developed. They can be expected to improve clinical practice uniformity and, in the longer term, to optimize the management of patients with AS.

Pharmacotherapy (excluding biotherapies) for ankylosing spondylitis: development of recommendations for clinical practice based on published evidence and expert opinion.
To develop recommendations about pharmacotherapy (excluding biotherapeutic agents) in patients with axial forms of ankylosing spondylitis (AS) seen in everyday clinical practice. ⋯ Seven recommendations about pharmacotherapy in patients with AS were developed. They can be expected to improve clinical practice uniformity and, in the longer term, to optimize the management of patients with AS in France.

Randomized Controlled Trial
Injection of intra-articular sodium hyaluronidate (Sinovial) into the carpometacarpal joint of the thumb (CMC1) in osteoarthritis. A prospective evaluation of efficacy.
To compare the efficacy on pain relief and function of one, two or three injections of intra-articular hyaluronic acid in symptomatic osteoarthritis (OA) of the carpometacarpal joint of the thumb (CMCJ). ⋯ No significant differences were found between each group over the study period for pain relief and function. But the intra groups analysis results show that intra-articular sodium hyaluronidate injections into the carpometacarpal joint of the thumb in osteoarthritis can be efficacious on pain and fuctionality. What is now needed is a controlled placebo randomised study with larger samples and longer term follow up of the achieved effects.

Randomized Controlled Trial
Total dorsal ramus block for the treatment of chronic low back pain: a preliminary study.
To evaluate the use of total dorsal ramus block, which blocks all three major branches (medial, intermediate, and lateral branches) of lumbar dorsal ramus, for chronic low back pain. ⋯ The results of this preliminary study show that the total dorsal ramus block procedure may sufficiently block all three branches of the lumbar dorsal ramus at the targeted level with significant pain reduction.
