Filter by:This study is intended to evaluate the effect of the dietary supplement NEM® brand eggshell membrane versus placebo in reducing exercise-induced joint pain, stiffness & cartilage turnover in healthy men & women. Half of the study participants will receive NEM, once daily, orally while the other half of the study participants will receive placebo, once daily, orally while performing an exercise regimen every other day for two weeks.
1. To develop a training package for nurse-led management of knee osteoarthritis (OA), incorporating information about OA and core non-pharmacologic and pharmacologic principles of management of OA as recommended in the National Institute for Clinical Excellence and Health (NICE) guidelines for management of OA 2. To evaluate fidelity of delivery of individual components of this complex package of care for knee pain 3. To assess the acceptability of the intervention by exploring participant satisfaction with nurse-led complex package of care of knee pain. 4. To explore and resolve possible challenges to delivery of individual components within a complex package 5. To examine the feasibility of a definitive cohort randomised controlled trial of nurse-led care versus usual care of knee pain in terms of recruitment rate, drop-out rate, reasons for dropping out and completeness of outcome data 6. To explore whether such a trial should provide analgesia before non-pharmacologic interventions or vice versa
The current study has been designed to primarily assess the effect of Lanconone® in comparison to placebo on pain in weight bearing joints.
The purpose of this study is to test the efficacy of radiofrequency ablation of the medial branch nerves (RFA-MBN) in relieving pain and improving physical function in patients with subacute and chronic vertebral compression fractures (VCF).
This is a prospective, randomized, controlled, multi-center clinical study. Approximately 208 subjects will be enrolled at approximately 12-15 active duty military, veterans' care, and civilian sites. Eligible subjects will be randomized in 1:1 ratio to receive either Sacroiliac denervation using CRF (treatment group) or standard medical management ("SMM," control group).
Taxane-induced arthralgia and myalgia syndrome (TAMS) is one of the most common side effects of taxane chemotherapy. This prospective randomized controlled trial will evaluate the efficacy of gabapentin administered prophylactically on days -2 to +5 during the taxane-portion of chemotherapy for adjuvant breast cancer patients on reducing TAMS. This will be compared to observation alone.
We propose here to evaluate the precision of lumbar thermocoagulation performed under a transverse ultrasound approach by performing a fluoroscopic control once the needle in the desired position. The effectiveness of the technique will be assessed by measuring different pain and disability scores at six weeks post-thermocoagulation: the Visual analogue pain Scale score (VAS) and the Oswestry disability score (ODI) will be collected, compared to that of the conventional fluoroscopic technique.
1. Primary outcome measure: measuring the effect of spa treatment in patients suffering from lower limb osteoarthritis or any other lower limb rheumatological condition. Percentage of patients with minimum 19,9 mm decrease in pain Visual Analogue Scale (VAS) or WOMAC score (Western Ontario and McMaster Universities Arthritis Index) improvement of at least 9 points (minimal clinically important difference), 6 months after enrollment. Secondary outcome measures: 2. Measuring the effect of spa treatment in patients with concomitant chronic lower back pain. Percentage of patients presenting clinical benefits according to the EIFEL score, with a decrease of at least 5 points, 6 months after enrollment. 3. Quantitative evaluation of pain. Mean pain VAS comparison between enrollment and 6 months after spa treatment. 4. Quantitative evaluation of WOMAC score. Mean WOMAC score comparison between enrollment and 6 months after spa treatment. 5. Quantitative evaluation of EIFEL score. Mean EIFEL score comparison between enrollment and 6 months after spa treatment. 6. Impact of spa treatment on the patient's metabolism. Height and weight (BMI calculation), blood pressure and heart rate measured at enrollment and throughout the follow-up. 7. 8. Quality of life. 36-Item Short Form (SF 36) and EuroQol 5 Dimensions (EQ5D) questionnaires at enrollment, 3 months and 6 months. 9. Doctor and patient opinion. Semi-quantitative scale collected at enrollment, 3 months and 6 months. 10. Medicine consumption Daily medicine consumption evaluated upon the 72 hours preceding the medical visit at enrollment, 3 months and 6 months. 11. Auto-evaluation of pain VAS pain evaluation by the patient every 6 weeks for a more precise time frame of the treatment's effect.
The purpose of this study is to determine if cortisone shots in the neck are helpful in patients with certain MRI findings. Additionally, the investigators hope to learn if cervical facet joint steroid injections are beneficial in the subset of patients with MRI findings consistent with facet joint synovitis.
