Filter by:This clinical study is to evaluate the safety and efficacy of hylan G-F 20 (Synvisc) in patients with symptomatic knee osteoarthritis (OA). Patients will be given 6 mL of hylan G-F 20 (Synvisc) (or a phosphate buffered saline control), with a possible repeat treatment with Synvisc after the week 26 visit.
The purpose of this study is to determine whether a home-based exercise and weight control program applied to elderly overweight individuals with painful osteoarthritis of the knee, would result in pain reduction.
The overall objective of this 3-year project is to determine whether the provision of realignment therapy in patients with medial knee osteoarthritis (OA) relieves knee pain and improves function. The researchers will test the hypothesis that compared to control treatment, the use of realignment therapy (valgus knee brace + motion control shoes + orthosis) is effective in medial knee OA. The specific aims are: - To undertake a 30 week randomized crossover clinical trial in patients with medial knee osteoarthritis to determine whether provision of realignment therapy leads to lower pain scores and improved function during the time of this treatment than during the use of a placebo treatment; - To perform an open label follow-up study to track use and effectiveness of treatment. This project will be co-funded by DonJoy Orthopedic, a knee bracing company.
This study was designed to evaluate the effectiveness of GW406381 (a COX-2 inhibitor) in treating the signs and symptoms of osteoarthritis of the knee.
The primary objective of this study is to evaluate the efficacy and safety of glucosamine sulfate versus placebo on the symptoms of knee osteoarthritis after 6 months of treatment, using acetaminophen as a reference symptomatic medication.
Oral non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs) are a recommended treatment for the symptoms of osteoarthritis of the knee. However, NSAIDs may cause a range of negative side effects, including stomach pain, heartburn, bleeding stomach ulcer, and liver or kidney abnormality. A topical NSAID may relieve pain and other symptoms of osteoarthritis of the knee, while minimizing the side effects common to oral NSAIDs. The purpose of this study is to determine the safety and effectiveness of a topical NSAID when used alone or when combined with an oral NSAID in the treatment of osteoarthritis of the knee.
The purpose of the study is to evaluate the safety and effectiveness of the investigational ketoprofen patch with a controlled heating patch, compared to placebo (inactive substance) for the treatment of pain caused by osteoarthritis.
The purpose of this study is to examine cultural and clinical context factors in African-American and white veterans with knee or hip osteoarthritis with a focus on how these factors may be potentially modifiable determinants of willingness to consider joint replacement.
This trial will assess the ability of shoe inserts to relieve pain and disability in people with knee osteoarthritis (OA) in the inner (medial) aspect of the knee.
Knee osteoarthritis (OA) is the most common cause of disability in adults. The "Osteoarthritis Initiative (OAI): A Knee Health Study" is a nationwide research study that will help researchers gather more information about the physical changes that occur prior to the onset of arthritis symptoms or before OA gets worse. The purpose of this study is to examine people who have knee OA or are at high risk for knee OA; information will be used to better understand how to prevent and treat knee OA.
