Filter by:The purpose of this study is to evaluate the efficacy, tolerability, and safety of the investigational drug, lumiracoxib as compared to celecoxib and placebo in subjects with hip osteoarthritis. Both lumiracoxib and celecoxib belong to the same class of drug (COX-2 selective nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs [NSAIDs]).
The primary aim of this randomised trial is to determine the effects of a short peri-operative course of treatment with a non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drug (NSAID), ibuprofen, on the long-term consequences of ectopic bone formation in patients undergoing elective total hip replacement surgery. The specific hypotheses to be tested at that 6 to 12 months after surgery, patients assigned post-operative ibuprofen will have less self-reported pain and physical disability, greater health-related quality of life and reduced ectopic bone formation compared with those assigned placebo.
To determine whether "continuous use" of celecoxib over a 6-month period is more efficacious than "usual or intermittent use" in preventing spontaneous osteoarthritis flares of the knee and hip.
This is a clinical study to investigate the safety and efficacy of Synvisc and Depo-Medrol in treating patients with osteoarthritis (OA) of the hip.
The aim of this study is to determine, in the framework of a randomized controlled clinical trial, whether Tai Chi can affect measurable improvements in self-reported outcomes such as pain, physical function and psychological well-being in people with osteoarthritis (OA) mainly affecting the hips or knees. The effectiveness of Tai Chi will be compared with both a non-intervention control group as well as with a formal exercise program, hydrotherapy. Hydrotherapy has long been considered an effective intervention for people with chronic OA although scientific evidence is weak at present. The main study hypotheses are that Tai Chi or hydrotherapy can significantly decrease pain and physical limitations; improve health-related quality of life; and promote psychological well being in patients with OA of the hip(s) or knee(s); and that Tai Chi and hydrotherapy are of equal efficacy.
The purpose of this study is to examine cultural and clinical context factors in African-American and white veterans with knee or hip osteoarthritis with a focus on how these factors may be potentially modifiable determinants of willingness to consider joint replacement.
