Filter by:The purpose of this study is to determine the dose effect of a single injectable acellular amniotic membrane derived allograft injection for the treatment of knee osteoarthritis and to confirm whether the use of 2 mL of the same amniotic injection offers a statistically significant advantage over the 1 mL injection.
The study is set up due to regulatory purposes and to collect routine clinical data of the mobile-bearing implant univation XM. The study is designed as a prospective follow-up study with a historic patient cohort who have been treated with the product under investigation two years ago. This design is selected to quicker realize follow-up data as patients have already been treated in the past. As the mobile version of the implant is not widely used, the study will be set up as a monocentric study in France. The clinical hypothesis of the study is that patients who are treated with the product under investigation have a similar outcome and survival rate in comparison to other established unicondylar knee systems on the market. Comparison for the later evaluation will be taken out of recent orthopaedic registries.
To develop and examine an interactive, multi-functional mobile app-based technology designed to encourage endogenous health care using a 12-month randomized controlled trial to demonstrate whether knee osteoarthritis (KOA)-at-risk individuals and KOA-diagnosed patients can improve their knee pain, physical function, and other relevant outcomes by using the technology to support knee/KOA self-management.
Randomized, Double-blind, 12-month, placebo-controlled study was conducted on 100 outpatients . Intervention platelet rich plasma( PRP) prepared from 60 ml of blood by adding novel step of filtration to manual centrifuge step to achieve 7 times concentration. the efficacy was compared with administration of hyaluronic acid. Subjective Womac scores ,6 min pain free walking distance as well objective assessments MRI ,synovial fluid assessments were made out .Absolute counts of platelets as dose was evaluated to be effective in alleviating symptoms in early knee OA.
Osteoarthritis (OA) is a chronic joint disease that involves the entire joint, causing cartilage damage, bone remodeling, osteophyte formation and loss of normal joint function. Knee OA is one of the leading causes of disability in the world and thus represents a major public health problem. Knee OA treatment can be operative and non-operative. Non-operative treatment includes pharmacological treatment, changing life style and physical therapy. The goal of physical therapy in knee OA is to reduce pain and improve knee function through therapeutic exercise, especially by strengthening the quadriceps muscle. In addition to therapeutic exercise, muscle electrical stimulation is often used, and in the literature there is evidence of biofeedback therapy efficacy. Goal of the study is to investigate whether there is a difference in pain reduction, increase in quadriceps muscle strength, and improvement in knee function in patients who had only kinesitherapy, from those who underwent kinesitherapy and biofeedback, and in patients who received electrical stimulation of quadriceps muscle with kinesitherapy. 93 patients with knee OA according to ACR criteria and Kellgren and Lawrence radiological classification grades 1 and 2 will be included in study. Subjects will complete: Visually Analogous Pain Scale (VAS), Western Ontario Universities Osteoarthritis Index (WOMAC), 36 Item Short Form Health Survey (SF 36), International Classification of Functioning, Disability and Health (ICF) osteoarthritis core set, and quadriceps muscle strength will be measured by EMG biofeedback device.
Prospective observational study of 6 months of follow-up, of national and multicenter scope with medical device with CE marking and according to the usual clinical practice. In addition, due to the observational design of the clinical investigation, no assignment of the patients will be made to any specific study group, but will be carried out in accordance with the usual clinical practice, not applying any intervention other than the usual one in this type of care practice and always in accordance with current clinical guidelines and recommendations and with the indications authorized in Spain. Patients will be recruited by specialists and will be followed for 6 months under the conditions of usual clinical practice.
This study is a prospective Phase 2, drug controlled, open-label study to evaluate the safety and efficacy of Pure Green sublingual tablets for the treatment of pain associated with osteoarthritis of the knee.
This study intends to determine the Effects of Electromyographic biofeedback on performance of vastus medialis oblique muscle in knee osteoarthritis.
Total knee Arthroplasty (TKA) is a highly effective treatment for knee osteoarthritis. Mid- to long-term follow-up studies have shown good clinical outcomes following TKA; despite these results, there is a high incidence of patient dissatisfaction; 20% of patients reporting dissatisfaction in otherwise uncomplicated procedures. One reason for early dissatisfaction may be the trauma of surgery may lead to localised and systemic inflammatory responses that impair postoperative clinical recovery; this in turn influences long-term functional outcomes. Surgical techniques that limit the insult of surgery and help to restore the patient's native knee anatomy and kinematics may help to improve clinical outcomes, functional recovery, and patient satisfaction. The technical objectives of surgery are to restore limb alignment, preserve the joint line, balance flexion and extension gaps, and maintain the normal Q angle for optimal patella tracking. Compromise to the periarticular soft tissue structures may compromise postoperative clinical and functional recovery, reduce stability, and decrease implant survivorship. In conventional jig-based (CO) TKA, bone cuts are most commonly performed using measured resection or gap balancing. The manual error associated with inadvertent soft tissue release during preparation for implantation or tissue damage from the saw blades is an accepted part of the procedure. The evolution of surgical technology has led to the development of robotic-arm assisted TKA, which uses three dimensional images of the patient's native knee anatomy to guide bone resection and optimise implant positioning. The second-generation RIO Robotic Arm Interactive Orthopaedic system (Mako surgical) uses preoperative computerised tomography scans to build a computer-aided design (CAD) model of the patient's knee joint. The Mako robotic software processes this information to calculate the volume of bone requiring resection and creates a three-dimensional haptic window for the RIO robotic arm to resect. In short, the robotic technology in TKA allows execution of the preoperative surgical plan without undue soft tissue release, inadvertent trauma from power tools, and minimal trauma to bone surfaces. Conceptually, this Mako TKA should have reduced soft tissue trauma and inflammatory response as assessed with inflammatory cytokines compared to CO TKA. The overall aim of this single centre, prospective randomised controlled trial is to determine differences in the inflammatory response between CO TKA and Mako TKA. A comprehensive range of local and systemic biochemical markers, thermal response, and macroscopic soft tissue injury outcomes between the two groups will be recorded and correlated to clinical and functional outcomes over 2-year postoperative. Patients undergoing CO TKA will form the control group and those undergoing Mako TKA will form the investigation group.
This is a randomized controlled trial comparing the short-term and medium-term effect of self-administered and knee health education for relieving knee pain in middle-aged and older adults with knee osteoarthritis.
