Filter by:The purpose of this study is to determine the safety and efficacy of the 40 mg and 100 mg doses of allogeneic micronized dehydrated human amnion/chorion membrane (micronized DHACM) injectable compared to 0.9% sodium chloride injection, placebo control for the treatment of knee osteoarthritis
This is a pilot investigator initiated/sponsored clinical trial to evaluate the feasibility of using real-time DexCom G6 continuous glucose monitor (CGM or glucose sensor) trend data and an insulin-dosing algorithm to control the glucose levels of type 2 diabetic patients undergoing hip/knee orthopedic surgery at Thomas Jefferson University Hospital (TJUH). Blinded CGM glucose data will be recorded prior to hospital admission, during hospital admission, and after hospital discharge to evaluate glucose control in this diabetic patient population in relationship to clinical outcomes (20 days of recorded blinded CGM data maximum). Prior studies have associated hyperglycemia, hypoglycemia, and glycemic variability with an increased incidence of nosocomial infection, deep vein thrombosis, pulmonary embolism, cardiac arrhythmias, mental status changes, hospital length of stay, and cost. The 20 type 2 diabetic patients in the Control Group will be managed according to standard-of-care methods at TJUH using finger-stick blood glucose measurements in an attempt to maintain the patient's blood glucose levels in the desired target range (80 to 180 mg/dL). Three blinded CGM will be used to record the patient's glucose trend data for future download to a computer and analysis. The 40 type 2 diabetic patients in the Investigational Group will be managed by the orthopedic floor nurses using the real-time DexCom G6 CGM trend data to determine the appropriate therapy to maintain the patient's glucose levels in the desired target range (80 to 180 mg/dL). In addition, three blinded CGM will be used to record the patient's glucose trend data for future download to a computer and analysis. The primary objective of this pilot study is to observe the blood glucose values and glucose sensor (CGM) values of diabetic patients before, during and after hospitalization for hip and knee arthroplasty surgery to determine whether there is a correlation between glucose control and clinical outcomes. This pilot data will be used to plan a future clinical trial in orthopedic surgery patients using CGM to determine patterns of hyperglycemia, hypoglycemia, and glycemic variability that correlate with clinical complications, hospital length of stay, and cost.
Comparing the pain control outcomes for patients undergoing total knee arthroplasty (TKA) with either: 1) adductor canal single shot injection plus placebo iPACK injection or 2) adductor canal single shot injection plus bupivacaine and dexamethasone iPACK injection. There are two surgical approaches for TKA 1) open 2) ROSA robotic assisted. Both follow the same pain management pathway. We plan to enroll patient undergoing either surgical procedure.
A follow-up study to assess the long-term safety of intra-articular (IA) administration of UBX0101 in patients with painful knee osteoarthritis (OA).
Pain sensitization has been associated with pain severity in people with knee osteoarthritis (KOA) and a neuropathic pain component has been identified in up to 30% of KOA patients. Mechanistic pain profiling aims to identify the underlying mechanisms in the peripheral and central nervous systems, which are associated to the clinical pain. In addition, the mechanisms underlying the pain relieving effect of standardized exercise therapy are largely unknown, but it is hypothesized that they are linked to the patient's ability to activate the descending pain inhibitory pathways (conditioned pain modulation, CPM) in the central nervous system. Mechanistic pain profiling including CPM have been used prognostic to identify responders to treatment, but these measures as a prognostic tool for standardized exercise therapy has not been investigated. The primary aim of this study is to investigate if mechanistic pain profiling alone or in combination with clinical pain measures before standardized exercise therapy can predict the patients' pain reduction following the exercise therapy program
Shared Decision Making (SDM) supports patient centered care and improves patient outcomes and satisfaction. Movement is Life (MIL) created an innovative SDM tool to provide a personalized framework for discussion of the projected impact to patients of their decisions regarding treatment options for knee osteoarthritis. 1. Did use of the MIL SDM tool for knee osteoarthritis result in an increased level of self-reported physical activity at one month in African American and Hispanic women? 2. Did use of the MIL SMD tool increase subject likeliness to recommend the physician? 3. What is the qualitative feedback from subjects on ease of use of the MIL SDM tool?
This study will evaluate the effectiveness of an mHealth sedentary reduction program over a 6-month period of time in adults with past or present knee symptoms, injuries, or surgeries.
The purpose of this study is to explore the efficacy and safety of autologous bone marrow-derived mesenchymal stem cells (BMSCs) plus autologous platelet rich plasma (PRP) in the treatment of severe knee osteoarthritis.
The purpose of this study is to study the clinical outcomes and effects of the injection of fat-derived stem cells (the scientific name being "adipose derived autologous stem cell transplantation (ADAT)") as an addition to knee arthroscopy in the treatment of knee swelling and pain associated with mild to moderate knee osteoarthritis. Management of this condition remains a pervasive problem within orthopaedics. Lipogems is a Food and Drug Administration (FDA) approved technique. Lipogems is the name of the technology used to obtain stem cells from fat that will be aspirated/removed by suction from the abdomen. Fat will be processed to obtain stem cells which will then be injected into the knee after the physician completes knee arthroscopy. The study that we are asking patients to enroll in is important because it will attempt to answer the question about whether fat-derived stem cells added to knee arthroscopy is better, worse or no different than knee arthroscopy alone. Currently, without this study, we do not have an answer to this question.
Multi-center study to include up to 600 subjects with knee osteoarthritis in unilateral or bilateral knees treated with Regenexx® SD in the osteoarthritic knee/s. Synovial fluid drawn from patients' knee/s prior to receiving Regenexx-SD treatment will be correlated with their clinical outcomes after treatment.
