Filter by:This is a randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled, 2-injection, 52-week study to evaluate the efficacy and safety of intra-articular injections of CNTX-4975-05 in subjects with chronic, moderate-to-severe osteoarthritis knee pain.
To evaluate the effect of fumigation in conjunction with acupuncture for knee osteoarthritis, participators were collected from acupuncture and Chinese traumatology clinic at Linsen Chinese Medicine and Kunming Branch, Taipei City Hospital. Participators were randomized into 3 groups, one for acupuncture with fumigation, one for acupuncture with diluted fumigation, one for acupuncture only.
This study will investigate the concurrent validity and intra-rater reliability of using smartphone in assessing joint position sense in patient with knee osteoarthritis.
The current study has been designed to primarily assess the effect of Lanconone® in comparison to placebo on pain in weight bearing joints.
The purpose of the current study is to assess the ability of alpha-2-macroglobulin treatment to reduce the level of pro-inflammatory synovial fluid biomarkers in patients with osteoarthritis of the knee. This is a double-blinded rationalized control trial with prospective data collection. The study will collect and analyze the synovial fluid, serum, and urine of patients presenting with knee osteoarthritis in Kellegren-Lawrence grade 2 or 3. It will compare synovial fluid biomarker levels between patients receiving an intra-articular alpha-macroglobulin, intra-articular PR injection and intra-articular corticosteroid serving as a control. Pre-injection pain and function will be assessed. Post-injection pain, function and outcomes will be assessed after six weeks and three months.
Multiple intravenous Tranexamic Acid doses can reduce postoperative blood loss and improve the functional outcome in total knee arthroplasty without tourniquet: a randomized controlled study.
Total knee arthroplasty(TKA) is an effective modality for the treatment of advanced osteoarthritis of the knee joint with excellent outcomes. With 719,000 cases being performed as of 2010, the incidence is expected to increase up to 3.48 million procedures annually by 2030.
Adductor canal (AC) nerve block is a commonly used modality for postoperative pain control after total knee arthroplasty (TKA). When the adductor canal is viewed by ultrasound, the femoral artery and femoral vein can easily be identified, however, the nerve that is to be blocked is often not visible. For this reason, the femoral artery is used as a landmark for the block. There currently are no studies examining the optimal placement of the nerve block catheter relative to the femoral artery in the canal. The goal of this study will be to examine the relationship between nerve catheter tip location relative to femoral artery within the adductor canal for continuous AC nerve blocks. The investigators specifically will compare postoperative pain as well as incidence of vascular puncture during the procedure and time to complete the procedure for two different catheter locations.
The primary objective is to determine whether a surgical intervention involving removing of the calcified cartilage cap in patients with Grade II Kellgren-Lawrence osteoarthritis influences the incorporation of labeled bone marrow aspirate concentrate (BMAC)-derived cells within the cartilage regenerate vs labeled BMAC cells delivered after arthroscopy without removing of the calcified cartilaginous layer. The survival and incorporation of the BMAC labeled cells will be evaluated with MRI using the Ferumoxytol infusion stem cell labeling technique. The second arm of the study evaluating cell fate after injecting stem cells under a rotator cuff repair will also be explored. The secondary objectives are to 1) determine which surgical intervention leads to better clinical outcomes as measured by Knee Injury and Osteoarthritis Outcome Score (KOOS) at 12 months, and 2) determine who long we can track the labeled-BMAC cells in the knee.
The study was designed to assess the efficacy of a home-based rehabilitation program using a digital kinematic biofeedback system after total hip or knee replacement. This is a single-arm prospective study. Patients will be enrolled pre-operatively and will perform an 8-week rehabilitation program starting between day 7 and 10 after surgery. This program will consist of rehabilitation sessions performed independently by the patient at under remote monitoring from a physical therapist. Outcomes will be measured at baseline, 4 weeks into the rehabilitation program and at the end of the program. The primary outcome is the change in patient performance measure through the Timed-up-and-Go (TUG) test in comparison with the pre-operative score. Secondary outcomes will be measured in terms of: a) patient reported outcomes (Hip or Knee Osteoarthritis Outcome Score) and b) range of motion of the relevant joint (hip or knee).
