Filter by:The goal of this observational study is to develop whole-joint quantitative MRI techniques that aid in the detection and tracking of osteoarthritis disease progression at 3T and 7T MRI scanners. The research objectives are: 1. Compare the relative accuracies of 7T and 3T MRI in detecting clinical osteoarthritis progression. 2. Compare the quantitative MRI measures developed with the results acquired from the following two questionnaires: Knee Injury and Osteoarthritis Outcome Score (KOOS) and the Visual Analogue Score (VAS). 3. Measure the repeatability of 7T and 3T quantitative MRI methods developed in whole-joint knee imaging 4. Optimize the quality and efficiency of 7T and 3T whole-joint knee MRI Participants will be scanned at the 3T scanner at the Clinical Imaging Facility at Hammersmith Hospital and/or the 7T scanner at the LOCUS Center at St Thomas' Hospital. Knee osteoarthritis volunteers will be asked to fill out two questionnaires and will be scanned 4 times over a 2 year period (at enrolment, after 6 months, after 12 months and after 24 months) while healthy volunteers will be scanned once at enrolment. Both healthy volunteers and knee osteoarthritis patients will be asked to fill out MRI safety forms before entering the scanner room, and both groups will be scanned up to 90 minutes during each session. Researchers will compare knee osteoarthritis patients with healthy volunteers to see how their knee anatomy and tissue properties differ.
Interventional type of study in which one group of participants will be given mini squats training and other endurance training to improve the quality of life of knee osteoarthritis patients.
This clinical study is to investigate the safety and efficacy of NCR100 injection in subjects with knee osteoarthritis (KOA). It is a dose-escalating, open label study in adult KOA subjects.
This is a retrospective study looking at patients who received a nerve block for surgery and assessing pain after the nerve block resolves, with or without an educational intervention, over two periods of time.
The MAST-GR study is a randomized controlled interventional trial with parallel treatment arms and 1:1 allocation The primary objective of the study is to compare the safety and efficacy of a single intra-articular infiltration of Bone marrow aspirate concentrate (BMAC) with one of minimally manipulated adipose tissue (MM-AT) so as to determine the most effective cellular product in treating patients with knee osteoarthritis (OA). The secondary objective is to demonstrate whether intra-articular infiltration of BMAC or MM-AT can induce disease-modifying effects in knee OA by imaging and biological assessments on peripheral blood. The tertiary objective of the study is to identify factors that influence the clinical response to treatment (baseline characteristics of patients, biological characteristics of the treated knee, characteristics of cellular products, BMAC and MM-AT).
The objectives of this prospective observational cohort study are to evaluate the safety, reliability, reproducibility, and accuracy of the Canary canturioTM te post-TKA.
Background: The effect of exercise on knee osteoarthritis (OA) is often evaluated with patient-reported scales. The Minimal Clinically Important Difference (MCID) values of these scales are needed to understand the change in patients after treatment and to manage the treatment. It is also one of the most important data in calculating the MCID sample size. Aim: In the literature, MCID studies for exercise applied to knee OA are limited especially for those who did not undergo surgery. Thus new studies are needed. Method: 100 patients who were diagnosed with knee osteoarthritis will be recruited for the study. Participants will be included in an exercise program tailored to their needs for 15 sessions. WOMAC, OKS, LEFS scales will be used also knee range of motion will be assessed in the baseline, after treatments and in the 4th month follow up.
Total knee replacement (TKR) is accepted as treatment of choice for end stage gonarthrosis. It is performed cemented or cementless and although cemented implants were shown to decrease bone density more than cementless fixations there is no evidence-based difference between them in the literature. As far as the investigators are concerned, the effect of cementation on patients' joint perception has never been studied so far.
This study will explore the effectiveness of intra-articular knee injections in patients with osteoarthritis by comparing Corticosteroid (triamcinolone) vs Platelet Rich Plasma (PRP). This study is a randomized controlled trial with a sample size of one hundred and sixty patients (160). Patients would be recruited via new referrals and follow-up appointments in the Orthopaedic clinic at the UHWI (University Hospital of the West Indies) with knee osteoarthritis. The aim of the study is to: 1. To determine if platelet-rich plasma injections are better at improving functional outcomes in the knee using Western Ontario and McMaster Universities Arthritis Index (WOMAC) when compared to intraarticular steroids. 2. To identify adverse reactions related to these injections
The goal of this observational study is to evaluate the technique of subchondroplasty in patients with advanced knee osteoarthritis. The main question it aims to answer is: • Does the subchondroplasty technique with the administration of AccuFill Porous Bone Substitute Material (BSM) is effective in the relief of mechanical pain in patient with knee osteoarthritis ? Participants will go under a minimally invasive surgery procedure (subchondroplasty) and fulfil 3 validated questionnaires to assess pain, functional impairments and subjective improvement. This study will be conducted for 4 years.
