Clinical interests
Early inflammatory arthritis: there is insurmountable evidence that early aggressive treatment of inflammatory arthritis (rheumatoid arthritis) offers a greater chance of remission and also drug-free remission. Having worked at the Early Arthritis Clinic in Cambridge, this has always been an area of interest and Dr Malaviya is well versed with the latest research in this field.
Inflammatory back pain: A small but significant proportion of people with chronic back pain have inflammation in their spine. There are newer therapies for this form of back pain (also called axial spondyloarthritis). Dr Malaviya is currently involved in clinical trials in this area.
He is also interested in vasculitis and has strong links with specialist teams in Cambridge with whom he co-manages many such complex patients.
