Filter by:The goal of this clinical study is to evaluate the effectiveness of the properties that support the functional state of the joints and the safety of the dietary supplement for food ARTNEO®, oral capsules, in patients with stage II-III primary osteoarthritis of the knee joint. The main questions it aims to answer are: 1. To evaluate the effectiveness of the joint functional state-supporting properties of dietary supplement ARTNEO®, capsules for oral administration, in patients with stage II-III primary osteoarthritis of the knee joint; 2. To evaluate the safety of dietary supplement ARTNEO®, capsules for oral administration, in patients with stage II-III primary osteoarthritis of the knee joint. Participants will be randomly distributed equally among two groups: - Group 1 "ARTNEO" (106 people): patients take the study dietary supplement ARTNEO®, 1 capsule 1 time per day for 6 months; - Group 2 "Placebo" (106 people): patients take placebo 1 capsule 1 time per day for 6 months.
The aim of this randomized controlled trial study was to compare the effect of intra-articular injection of Hypertonic Dextrose Prolotherapy (HDP) with Normal Saline (NS) in the clinical improvement of knee osteoarthritis (KOA) patients with comorbid obesity. The main questions to be answered are: - How does the effect of HDP versus NS intra-articular injection compare to the numerical rating score (NRS) in obese KOA patients? - How does the effect of HDP versus NS intra-articular injection compare to scores of The Western Ontario and McMaster Universities Arthritis Index (WOMAC) in obese KOA patients? - How does the effect of HDP versus NS intra-articular injection compare to the thickness of the femoral cartilage in obese KOA patients? Participants who meet the inclusion and exclusion criteria will be randomized based on the order of the outpatient department each day, with odd numbers as the HDP intervention group and even numbers as NS. They received ultrasound-guided intra-articular injections on day 1 and day 30. Researchers will compare HDP versus NS groups to see which group improves NRS, WOMAC, and femoral cartilage thickness.
The purpose of the study is to compare the effects of kinesio taping and rigid taping in Knee Osteoarthritis to alleviate symptoms like pain, reduce range of motion and functional limitations. A randomized control trial was conducted at Atta Memorial Hospital, Airport Society, Rawalpindi and Makkah Medical Complex, Rawalpindi. The sample size was 36 calculated through G-Power. The participants were divided into two interventional groups each having 18 participants. The study duration was six months. Sampling technique applied was Non probability convenient sampling. Only 40 to 60 years' participants with grade 1-3 Knee Osteoarthritis according to kellgren-Lawrence scale were included in the study. Tools used in this study are Visual analogue scale, WOMAC Index, timed up and go test and Goniometer self-structured Questionnaire. Data was collected before and immediately after the application of intervention on First day and then again at the end of session on 14th and 28th day. Data analyzed through SPSS version 23.
This study is a randomized controlled trial which aims to compare the effect of weight bearing exercises and non-weight bearing exercises on the dynamic balance in knee osteoarthritis patients as 60 patients will divided in three groups where one group is control group and others two groups one of them perform weight bearing exercises and the other perform non weight bearing exercises.
Tranexamic acid is a medication used to treat or prevent excessive blood loss during surgery. Previous studies have shown tranexamic acid (TXA) reduces blood loss and post-operative blood transfusion rate without significant complications. In addition, many meta-analyses have confirmed these results. This study also aims to determine how safe and effective tranexamic acid treatment is for different patients undergoing primary total knee arthroplasty.
This study aims to understand if certain cognitive biases and heuristics are present in patients with knee osteoarthritis being treated with open label placebo (saline injections in the knee). A predefined survey will investigate the affect heuristic and group interviews patients who have responded well or not so well respectively will be used to examine if other cognitive biases or heuristics are present. Cognitive biases are systematic patterns of deviation from norm or rationality in judgment, while heuristics are tactics, or mental shortcuts to aid in the decision-making process.
Evaluation of the effect of the AI500™ SINGLE-DOSE GEL medical device in patients with reduced knee function
There is a potential link between diabetes mellitus (DM) and severity of osteoarthritis .Type 2 diabetes is a part of the metabolic syndrome (Mets) accompanied by ageing and mechanical stress are also a risk factor to osteoarthritis. Every anatomical component of the joint demonstrated faster joint deterioration and elevated inflammation at microcellular environment of individuals with DM. Normal chondrocytes capacity to adapt to the local glucose level is impaired by OA and there is a significant risk of glucose toxicity and increased glucose absorption. The most dependable and effective treatment for mild to early joint osteoarthritis is exercise. Active free exercises i.e. Buerger Allen exercises are used as a conservative perfusion therapy because they rely on how gravity affects the smooth muscles in the valves. Synovial fluid supports the joint's ability to recover while also reducing inflammation and enhancing overall joint function. The aim of the study is to determine the effect of Buerger Allen exercise and low intensity high repetition exercises on pain, range of motion and disability in knee osteoarthritis with type 2 diabetes. The study would be randomized controlled trial. Total thirty-six subjects will be assigned randomly by using lottery randomization into two groups. Group A will receive conventional therapy and an additional Buerger Allen exercise while Group B will be a control group receiving only baseline treatment. Numeric pain rating scale (NPRS), Ankle Brachial Index, KOOS and Goniometer will be used as outcome measure tools for pain, range of motion and disability. Measure will be taken at baseline and at the end of treatment session. The collected data will be analyzed in Statistical Package for the Social Sciences (SPSS) 25.0.If data will be normally distributed then parametric if not normally distributed than non-parametric
A randomized clinical trial will be conducted in Gujranwala and 24 patients with grade 3 knee OA will be recruited. After consent, patients will be randomly allocated into 2 groups by lottery method. Group A will do close kinetic chain exercises, including static cycling, lifestyle modification, and patient education. Group B will do open kinetic chain exercises including quadriceps drills with lifestyle modification and patient education. A total duration of 12 weeks with 3 sessions per week will be given. Outcome measures Assessment will be done at 0 weeks, 4 weeks, 8 weeks, and 12 weeks.
