Filter by:Osteoarthritis (OA) is a chronic degenerative joint disease characterized macroscopically by progressive damage of articular cartilage, joint space narrowing, subchondral bone remodelling, joint marginal osteophyte formation and synovitis. It is also characterized by a decrease of the concentration and molecular weight of the hyaluronic acid in the synovial fluid which ultimately leads to poor viscoelastic properties of synovial fluid and induction of proinflammatory pathways. The intra-articular injection of viscosupplementation gel (mainly exogenous hyaluronic acid) represents one of the most used therapeutic strategies to treat osteoarthritis symptoms. Several studies on knee Osteoarthritis, have shown that one or more weekly injection of viscosupplementation gel significantly relieves articular pain and ameliorates mobility and joint function for at least 6 months and more. Repeated courses of intra-articular injections are an effective and safe treatment for knee osteoarthritis symptoms. Based on studies conducted on intra-articular viscosupplementation gels, the most common side effects expected are local transient and short-lived adverse events such as pain, swelling and arthralgia in the site of administration, which are fully reversible in the days following the injection. Furthermore, such local effects may occur in a minority of cases and are usually treated conservatively with ice, non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs, and relative rest.
This study is being done to find out if metformin is effective at reducing pain by delaying the onset of post-traumatic osteoarthritis (PTOA) after anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) reconstruction. This research study will compare metformin to placebo. The placebo tablet looks exactly like metformin, but contains no metformin. Placebos are used in research studies to see if the results are due to the study drug or due to other reasons. Metformin is approved by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) to treat type II diabetes. Notably, it also has anti-inflammatory effects, suggesting it could benefit people who have an ACL injury and are undergoing ACL reconstruction.
A randomised controlled triall (RCT) with three parallel arms comparing the functional outcome of chemical ablation with phenol and radiofrequency ablation (RFA) of the genicular nerves with conservative treatment in patients with chronic knee pain caused by osteoarthritis (OA).
The goal of this study is to learn about the effect of video-game based rehabilitation exercise for patients with knee osteoarthritis. The main question the study aims to answer is: do patients who exercise with the game have better functional outcomes and engagement compared to patients who do conventional exercise? Participants will complete 10 weeks of physical therapy exercise sessions that focus on quadriceps strengthening. Two sessions per week will be conducted in the clinic, and one session will be conducted at home each week. The interventional group will conduct all exercises using the KneeBRIGHT EMG sensors and game software. The control group will conduct all exercises following a standard physical therapy regimen. Researchers will compare knee function and engagement between the group who uses the game, and the group who does conventional exercise.
A prospective multicenter longitudinal cohort study of Zimmer Biomet (ZB) Persona IQ The Smart Knee which consists of the Persona Personalized Knee (PPK) System with mymobility® platform that is attempting to develop correlative measures to assist surgeons in understanding and managing risk in their patient populations. Specifically comparing four outcome measures captured via Remote Therapeutic Monitoring (RTM) utilizing the CANARY canturioTM Tibial Extension (CTE) sensors in combination with the mymobility® App. The primary objective of this prospective study is to systematically document the clinical outcomes of the Persona IQ Personalized Knee System with mymobility for primary total knee arthroplasty/replacement (TKA/TKR). This will be accomplished by monitoring subject activity trend patterns via the mymobility platform, evaluating smart system usability, monitoring short and long-term safety and effectiveness, and evaluating the value of the remote therapeutic monitoring platform. This data collection will be accomplished by the following: 1. The Canary Smart Tibial Stem comprised of the following subsystems: 1. Canary Cloud Data Management Platform (CDMP) 2. Canary Medical Gait Parameters (CMGP) Software Module 2. Persona IQ Personalized Knee System with mymobility Platform comprised of the following subsystems: 1. mymobility Platform for Patient Application 2. mymobility Care Team Dashboard 3. ZB Edge Artificial Intelligence Data Platform 3. Clinical Outcomes 1. Joint Motion: ROM and Deductions 2. Joint Stability: Medial/Lateral and Anterior/Posterior 3. Gait and Assistive Device Utilization 4. Surgical Incision Site 4. Objective Measurements: a. Timed Up & Go (TUG) and Stair Climb Test 5. System Usability Evaluation 6. Patient Satisfaction 7. Health Care Provider Satisfaction Additionally, a data repository will be maintained for future secondary data analyses when data is transmitted and captured beyond the 1-year of follow-up.
This study is designed as a randomized clinical trial that will be conducted in Hazrat Rasool Akram Hospital in Tehran. Patients with knee osteoarthritis were selected based on the study entry criteria and written consent was obtained from them. Then, by random assignment, patients will be divided into three treatment groups: control group (under oxygen gas injection), intervention group 1 (intra-articular injection of ozone with a dose of 20 micrograms) and intervention group 2 (intra-articular injection of ozone with a dose of 40 micrograms).
Patients who are to benefit from an injection of SYNOVIUM HCS as part of their care will be offered to participate in this study. Patients will need to sign a consent form to participate. Prior to SYNOVIUM HCS injection, patients will be asked a series of questions regarding their pain and disability. Data collected during follow-up visits can be compared to pre-injection data.
Genicular nerves chemical neurolysis in advanced osteoarthritis of the knee joint.
This randomized, double-blinded, placebo-controlled trial seeks to evaluate the efficacy of the rehabilitation process of the Interspace between the Popliteal Artery and Capsule of the Posterior Knee (iPACK) block in total knee arthroplasty.
This study's aim was: - To determine the effects of kinesio taping and dry needling on pain, ROMs, functional mobility, and quality of life in knee OA patients.
