The purpose of this study is to evaluate the long-term safety (up to one year) of Tramadol Once-A-Day (OAD) tablets at the highest doses: 200-400 mg
Osteoarthritis (OA) is one of the most common diseases affecting the joints, usually those that are weight bearing such as the knees. OA is considered to be a disease of the cartilage in the joints even though it involves the whole joint, including the bone and synovium (thin lining of the joints which produces synovial fluid). With time, more and more of the cartilage is destroyed by the disease with inflammation commonly occurring. AS902330 is expected to increase the production and development of specific bone cells: chondrocytes and osteoblasts (cells that produce and maintain bone and cartilage). This is expected to lead to repair and regeneration of the cartilage, and a narrowing of the space width between the knee joints in a selected region of the knee.The purpose of this study is to see how safe treatment with AS902330 is, and to evaluate its effect on the knee cartilage. In addition, the study will also measure the effects of AS902330 in the blood.
Patients with unilateral or bilateral osteoarthritis (OA) of the knee participated in a Phase II clinical trial to assess the efficacy of lidocaine 5% patch compared with placebo in the treatment of pain from OA of the knee.
Knee Osteoarthritis (OA) accounts for a significant proportion of mobility limitations and is one of the most disabling problems facing the growing population of older adults. The purpose of this research is to reduce disablement of older adults with symptomatic knee osteoarthritis.
The purpose of this study is to determine whether periarticular multimodal drug injection (PMDI) would provide additional benefits in patients after total knee arthroplasty (TKA) for whom contemporary pain control protocols using the continuous femoral nerve block, intra-venous patient controlled analgesia (IV-PCA)and preemptive oral medications. We hypothesized that PMDI would reduce pain level and consumption of PCA and acute pain rescuer and would provide better functional recovery and patient satisfaction. We also hypothesized that the incidence of side effects and complications of the PMDI would be similar to the No-PMDI.
Evaluation of the Position HTO system in patients with unicompartmental medial arthrosis after open wedge high tibial osteotomy
Computer Aided Surgery in total knee arthroplasty improves knee stability and functional outcomes more than conventional total knee arthroplasty.
185 veterans with chronic knee pain and advanced knee osteoarthritis will be recruited to participate in this study designed to test the effectiveness of a special type of electrical acupuncture called periosteal stimulation (PST). Participants will be divided into three groups. They will receive PST or a control condition once a week for 10 weeks. Two-thirds of the participants will receive booster sessions periodically over the course of the next 6 months. Everyone will be called monthly during the 6 month period and then will be asked to return for an evaluation on site at the end of this period.
The objective of this study is to compare the analgesic efficacy and safety of Tramadol Once a Day 100, 200, 300 mg and Placebo
