Filter by:Osteoarthritis (OA) is the most prevalent form of arthritis. Its pathogenesis remains poorly understood. Though historically regarded as a disease of mechanical degeneration, it is now appreciated that inflammation plays an important role in OA pathogenesis (Krasnokutsky et al., 2017). The hallmark of OA is the degradation and loss of articular cartilage, although most tissues of the joint become affected, such as bone, synovium, ligaments, menisci (knee), labrum (hip), periarticular fat, and muscle (Englund, 2023).It is believed that there is a pathological link between hyperuricemia and OA Therefore, we conducted a cross-sectional study to evaluate an association between elevated SUA and radiographic OA of the knee) Bipan Shrestha, 2019 (.
PROSAP-A is a perioperative randomized, controlled trial with a 12-month follow-up period after total knee arthroplasty (TKA) or total hip arthroplasty (THA), aiming to investigate both acute and long-term postoperative effects of preoperative sleep-promotion. Participants with clinically significant insomnia symptoms will be randomized to a brief, hybrid version of cognitive behavioral therapy for insomnia (CBT-I) or sleep education therapy, administered over a 4-week period, prior to surgery. The primary objectives are to evaluate effects of preoperative sleep-promotion on acute and long-term postoperative pain control. Secondary objectives include evaluation of postoperative sleep, recovery, mental health, cognitive function and alterations in blood biomarkers.
The goal of this clinical trial is to evaluate the effectiveness and safety of intra-articular injection of a cross-linked sodium hyaluronate; SEMICAL GEL-B CROSS, in knee osteoarthritis. Primary objectives: The aim of this study is to obtain short- and long-term clinical data on the performance and safety of intra-articular injection of SEMICAL GEL B-CROSS, produced and marketed by Semical Biosurgery incorporated company, in knee osteoarthritis patients. It is also aimed to monitoring known adverse events and complications, detecting previously unknown adverse events and complications, to identify and analyze emerging risks based on real-life data. Participants will receive intra-articular injection of either a cross-linked sodium hyaluronate (SEMICAL GEL-B CROSS); or placebo (isotonic saline solution) at baseline, and will be followed-up for one year to compare the effectiveness and safety of the given therapy.
To compare the radiographic and clinical outcomes of varus osteoarthritic knees treated with an open-wedge high tibial osteotomy (OWHTO) alone or with a double-level osteotomy (DLO). It was hypothesized that treatment with DLO would prevent the joint line obliquity (JLO) , optimize post-operative limb alignment and provide better clinical and radiological outcomes after surgery than medial opening-wedge high tibial osteotomy (OWHTO) alone for patients with medial compartment osteoarthritis.
The purpose of this study is to assess the safety, tolerability and efficacy of Lipocet® (food supplement) in patients with primary knee osteoarthritis grade 3 - 4
The purpose of this RCT is to investigate whether high tibial osteotomy using 3D printed patient specific guides aiming at 55% correction is non-inferior to aiming at 62%.
Rationale: Protein from plant-based foods may be unable to stimulate protein synthesis due to a suboptimal essential amino acid content and a lower digestibility. However, a more optimal amino acid profile may be achieved by increasing portions sizes and blending multiple plant-based sources. Studies investigating the anabolic properties of vegan diets (total elimination of animal-based foods) rather than single plant-based foods in older adults are scarce. It remains unknown if a vegan diet can also affect protein synthesis rates in other musculoskeletal tissues than muscle. Primary objective: To assess the effects of a 2-week preoperative vegan diet in comparison to an omnivorous diet on protein synthesis rates in Hoffa's fat pad, synovium, tendon, bone, ligaments, menisci, and cartilage in older adults with knee osteoarthritis undergoing total knee arthroplasty. Secondary objective: To assess the effects of a 2-week preoperative vegan diet in comparison to an omnivorous diet on blood pressure and plasma amino acids in older adults with knee osteoarthritis undergoing total knee arthroplasty. Study design: Multi-center, randomized, controlled trial with an intervention and a control group. Study population: 40 older adults (60 - 80 years) with osteoarthritis of the knee undergoing total knee replacement. Intervention: Controlled vegan diet versus controlled omnivorous diet, for a duration of 14 days. Main study parameters/endpoints: Primary study parameters are protein synthesis rates of Hoffa's fat pad, synovium, tendon, bone, ligament, menisci, and cartilage. Secondary parameters include blood pressure and plasma amino acids.
Osteoarthritis is degenerative joint disease that cause deterioration of the articular cartilage and neighboring tissue and lead to osteophyte formation, weakening of surrounding muscles, ligamentous laxity and inflammation of synovium. Diagnosis can be made based on history and clinical features and risk factors including age, sex, body mass index , absence of whole leg pain, fixed flexion deformity, absence of traumatic event, restricted flexion range of motion, pain in descending stairs, palpable effusion and crepitus. Confirmation is usually based on radiological finding according to Kellgren and Lawrence diagnostic scale . Radio graphic changes of osteoarthritis of the knee are bilateral in 85% of patients .
Crepitus causing unsatisfied result to patients after posterior stabilized total knee arthroplasty. Recent retrospective study demonstrated removal of hyperplastic synovium in distal quadriceps caused reduce of crepitus. However, this study has limitation of time gap exist between arms, different in observation time and bias caused by retrospective review. Thus aim of this study is that by randomized trial, verified hyperplastic synovium in distal quadriceps causing crepitus. Target enrolled patients in this study are scheduled to perform both total knee arthroplasty. Experimental group is randomized side (right or left) of knee, and control group is other side of knee. Both arms decided by randomized number table. Crepitus measured after 3mo, 6mo, 1year after surgical treatment
The goal of this randomized, double blind, placebo-controlled clinical trial is to learn about, the effect of metformin compared with placebo-controlled group on disease activity and interleukin-6 level in patients with knee osteoarthritis.The main question it aims to answer is:Is Metformin as add-on therapy more effective in reducing disease activity in Ibuprofen-treated patients with grade II-III knee osteoarthritis? Half of Participants will receive metformin with standard of care(ibuprofen and rabeprazole) while other half placebo and standard of care (ibuprofen and rabeprazole).
