Filter by:Objective: To evaluate the effectiveness of neuromuscular electrical stimulation (NMES) combined with closed kinetic chain (CKC) exercises in patients with knee OA.
To investigate the safety, efficacy and pharmacokinetics of single daily oral dose of LY2828360 in male and female subjects with osteoarthritic knee pain
Evaluate the efficacy and safety of Hyalgan, at a dose of 20mg/2ml administered as 5 intraarticular injections at weekly intervals, for the sustained relief of pain and amelioration of joint dysfunction in patients of OA of the knee.
The present study investigated whether the presence of fluid in the joint affected peak torque and the root mean square (RMS) values of surface electromyography (EMG) in patients symptomatic for osteoarthritis (OA).
The objective of the proposed research is to assess the efficacy of an eight-week, efficient and tolerable, low-intensity resistance-training program with concurrent application of partial blood flow restriction (PBFR) for improving quadriceps strength and volume in women with risk factors for incident symptomatic or progressive knee OA. This specific aim will be achieved through a randomized, controlled trial, comparing low intensity training with and without PBFR. There have been numerous reports of exercise interventions in people with knee osteoarthritis. However, this research is novel in that it will be the first to use a low intensity regimen that will minimize forces on the knee while still having the potential to lead to clinically meaningful strength gains in older adults with risk factors for incident symptomatic or progressive knee OA.
The aim is to improve understanding of the assessment of pain experience in patients with osteoarthritis (OA) of the knee. The current study will be divided into two parts. In Study 1, the investigators will analyse existing questionnaires relevant to the mechanisms and therapeutic targets of knee OA to establish discrete dimensions that discriminate between the different mechanisms of pain. On the basis of this analysis, the investigators will refine the questionnaires to maximise their sensitivity to knee OA. In Study 2, the investigators will seek to confirm the factor structure identified in the questionnaires in Study 1 and explore potential mediator and moderator variables between pain and quality of life using the refined measures. The investigators will also evaluate Quantitative Sensory Testing as a predictor of OA knee pain.
Previous studies have indicated that patient expectations, beliefs and preferences may have an impact on treatment outcomes. The KIVIS study was primarily designed to compare two effective treatments for knee osteoarthritis (tidal irrigation (medical washout of the knee) or intra-articular corticosteroid injection). At study entry any preference expressed by the patient for each of the treatment interventions was recorded. This study assessed the effects of two treatments given at a single time-point and hence the effects of patient preference could be assessed independently of any compliance issues.
This study is designed to compare the surgical efficiency of TruMatch® Personalized Solutions surgical technique compared to conventional surgical technique. Specifically, the purpose of this study is to collect time data to enhance the existing economic model.
The purpose of this study is to determine the comparative safety and efficacy of intra-articular injection of hyaluronic acid, obtained from two different sources, in the treatment of osteoarthritic pain of the knee.
