Filter by:80 patients diagnosed with knee osteoarthritis were randomized into two groups: patients in Group 1 received a single intraarticular injection of PRP whereas those in group 2 were administered three intraarticular injections of PRP within an interval of 2 weeks between each application. Patients were evaluated before the treatment and at the 6 month after the treatment with a Visual Analog Scale (VAS) and The Western Ontario and MacMaster Universities (WOMAC) Osteoarthritis Index.
The objective of this study is to find out the effects of Mulligan's Squeeze technique added as a complementary treatment to the conventional physiotherapy for the management of meniscal derangement in knee osteoarthritis patients.
As an activator of inhibiting nuclear factor kB receptor, denosumab affects osteoclast differentiation and development by inhibiting OPG/RANKL-RANK bone regulatory axis pathway. Therefore, denosumab is widely used in the treatment of bone diseases such as osteoporosis. Osteoporosis is closely related to knee osteoarthritis. RANKL-RANK pathway also plays a key role in the pathogenesis of knee osteoarthritis. Therefore, the investigators propose the hypothesis that denosumab can effectively treat knee osteoarthritis.
Objective: The knee joint is one of most common locations in OA. In recent years, it has been accepted that there are different pain phenotypes and patient subgroups in knee OA and that central sensitization (CS) mechanisms are at the forefront in some patients. It is also known that fear of movement, known as kinesiophobia, develops in patients with chronic pain. The aim of this study is to investigate CS and kinesiophobia in patients with knee OA, their relationships with each other, and their effects on pain intensity, functional status, pain catastrophizing and depression. Materials and Methods: Forty-two patients with knee OA and 42 healthy subjects participated in our study. Demographic data, body mass index, habits, comorbidities, medications of participants and disease duration and radiographic grade of knee OA patients were recorded. VAS was used to assess the severity of pain and WOMAC was used to assess pain and functional status in patients with OA. Algometer (pressure pain threshold measurement) and Central Sensitization Inventory were used to evaluate central sensitization in all participants. Pressure pain threshold (PPT) was measured at 3 different points: knee joint, cruris and forearm. The presence of kinesiophobia was assessed with the Tampa Scale af Kinesiophobia (TSK). Pain Catastrophizing Scale (PCS) and Beck Depression Inventory (BDI) were used to assess chronic pain related symptoms.
This clinical trial aimed to involve patients aged 40-85 years who had been experiencing knee pain for at least 6 months and had received a clinical diagnosis of knee osteoarthritis through radiologic imaging. The patients were randomly assigned to two groups. One group received a 3-week intra-articular injection of 15 mg/ml ozone, while the second group received a 1 ml intra-articular injection of betamethasone. All patients were evaluated before treatment, as well as 4 and 12 weeks after the first dose of treatment. The study evaluated treatment efficacy using the Visual Pain Score (VAS) and the Western Ontario and McMaster Universities Arthritis Index (WOMAC).
Introduction: The primary goal of treating knee osteoarthritis is to reduce pain and improve the patient's quality of life. Medial meniscal extrusion is a condition that is linked to pain and disability in knee osteoarthritis and can be identified through ultrasound. For patients with medial meniscal extrusion, perimeniscal corticosteroid injection has been shown to be a helpful addition to primary treatment for moderate to severe pain relief. Dextrose prolotherapy has also been found to provide periarticular benefits for knee osteoarthritis. This study aims to compare the effectiveness of ultrasound-guided perimeniscal corticosteroid and perimeniscal dextrose injections in patients with osteoarthritis, medial knee pain, and medial meniscal extrusion. Method: Patients with medial knee pain and meniscal extrusion were randomly divided into two groups using the double-block randomization method. Group 1 included 15 patients who were administered an ultrasound-guided perimeniscal steroid injection, while Group 2 included 16 patients who were administered an ultrasound-guided perimeniscal dextrose injection. The patients' pain levels were evaluated using the Visual Analog Pain Scale (VAS) and the Western Ontario and McMaster Universities Osteoarthritis Index (WOMAC) before and one week, one month, and three months after the injection.
This is a randomized, double-blind, multicenter, non-inferiority, pivotal clinical trial to assess the efficacy and safety of the novel hexamethylenediamine (HMDA) cross-linked hyaluronate intra-articular injection (SP5M001) compared with an active comparator, the 1,4-butanediol diglycidyl ether (BDDE) cross-linked hyaluronate (Synovian) in patients with knee osteoarthritis.
A variety of biomechanical gait modification interventions can elevate knee loading and improve knee symptoms in knee osteoarthritis patients. However, there was a lack of acceptability and adherence regarding modification interventions without any explanation. Thus, this study investigates the feasibility and acceptability of foot insoles as a gait modification tool among Saudi Arabian knee osteoarthritis patients and physiotherapists. This study aims to answer the following: - Which gait modification intervention is most likely to be implemented in Saudi Arabia (SA) clinical practice, taking context, patients' clinical and research evidence into consideration? - In Saudi Arabia, can this proposed foot-insole intervention be implemented? Is there sufficient experience among physiotherapists regarding gait modification to deliver it, and will patients engage with it? How can KOA rehabilitation outcomes be evaluated in the future? The participants will be conducted over three phases: 1. The patients' interview and therapists' focus group discussion will be used to examine KOA patients' and clinicians' perspectives on enabling and accepting gait modifications in phase 1. 2. The feasibility study will explore how a small number of KOA patients tolerate gait modifications and consider the most relevant outcome measures, such as pain and function, in phase (2). 3. A small group of knee osteoarthritis patients and their physiotherapists who participated in phase (2) will be asked to participate in a descriptive survey in phase (3). To examine the acceptability and feasibility of the study intervention in phase (2).
In this study, black cumin extract oil was used in elderly individuals with Knee Osteoarthritis (OA). The effects of foot reflexology and knee massage on pain and fatigue symptoms. It is aimed to examine and research which of these two applications is more effective.The study, planned as a randomized controlled experimental study, included a total of 150 participants. The data consists of participants who receive outpatient treatment in the Physical Therapy and Rehabilitation Unit at a university hospital, are over 65 years old, and have no problems with their perception after the Mini Mental Test. After randomization, participants were divided into five groups, with 30 participants in each group. Groups; It consisted of 1) Reflexology with Black Cumin, 2) Placebo Reflexology, 3) Knee Massage with Black Cumin, 4) Placebo Knee Massage and 5) Control groups.
The objective of this clinical trial is to verify the effectiveness of polyvinyl pyrrolidone collagen in all patients with symptomatic gonarthrosis grades II-IV in patients over 40 years of age. The main objectives that this study aims to answer are the following: 1. - Document the effectiveness of intra-articular polyvinylpyrrolidone collagen in the treatment of symptomatic gonarthrosis. 2. - Compare the intensity of pain, the degree of stiffness and functionality of the joint, prior to application and one month after the therapeutic intervention. 3. - Identify demographic, clinical and therapeutic factors that influence the effectiveness of intra-articular PVP collagen in the treatment of symptomatic gonarthrosis. Patients diagnosed with symptomatic gonarthrosis Grade II-IV, referred to the Physical Medicine and Rehabilitation service within 3 months, will be selected. Two study groups will be assigned: GROUP those who received intra-articular infiltration of PVP Collagen, GROUP B: patients who received conservative treatment. Through rehabilitation with a home program for one month, in both cases, ENA and the WOMAC scale will be evaluated at the beginning of the study and after 4 weeks.
