Filter by:The purpose of this study is to evaluate the safety, efficacy and pharmacokinetics of FX005 for the treatment of pain in patients with osteoarthritis of the knee.
The main objective is the comparison of three different dosage regimens of hyaluronic acid in the treatment of osteoarthritis of the knee.
A pilot, open, randomised, controlled, add-on study evaluating the duration of efficacy of one intra articular injection of sodium hyaluronate 2.0% in patients with painful osteoarthritis of the knee
The purpose of the Staying Active with Arthritis (STAR) research study is to determine if a 6-month program will improve leg exercise, fitness walking, and clinical outcomes (function, blood pressure, leg strength, pain, fatigue, and health-related quality of life) in older adults with osteoarthritis of the knee and high blood pressure.
Background: Exercise, weight loss, and dietary supplementation of glucosamine and chondroitin (GC) have been reported to improve functional capacity in individuals with knee osteoarthritis (OA). The purpose of this study was 1.) to determine whether women with knee OA who follow a higher protein diet observe more favorable changes in body composition and/or markers of health compared to those following a standard higher carbohydrate-based diet; and, 2.) to determine whether dietary supplementation of glucosamine and chondroitin during a weight loss and fitness program lessens symptoms of pain, improves functional capacity, and/or promotes greater health benefits in women with knee OA. It was hypothesized that both groups would experience beneficial changes in body mass, body composition, and markers of health. However, greater benefits would be observed in those following a higher protein diet while supplementing the diet with glucosamine and chondroitin.
Medial compartment osteoarthritis of the knee is commonly treated by a surgical intervention called 'high tibial osteotomy' (VTO). Although it has repeatedly been shown that pain improves following this procedure, it is unknown how cartilage quality is affected by the procedure. In this study, a recently developed MRI technique is used to evaluate changes in cartilage quality before and after the surgery. Changes in MRI signals are correlated to subjective improvements (score lists). 10 patients participate in this study. Approval has been granted by the Medical Ethical Committee of the University Medical Center Utrecht. All participants are required to give informed consent before participation.
The purpose of this study is to assess the efficacy and safety of Hyalgan after proximal tibial osteotomy in treatment of knee osteoarthritis patients. Normally, OA patients who were treated with osteotomy will not be treated with any SYSADOA after operation, even though their cartilage's not completely loss, so osteotomy plus HA injection should provide more benefit to patients than osteotomy alone.
The purpose of the study is to assess the safety and efficacy profiles of new single-injection volumes of Durolane in patients with knee OA.
The purpose of this study is to study the efficacy of pre-emptive etoricoxib in reducing post-operative pain and improving function outcome after a total knee arthroplasty.
The purpose of this study is to determine if a 4 month resistance exercise program can reduce knee osteoarthritis pain functional impairment and cartilage turnover.
