This randomized, placebo-controlled study evaluates the effects of CuraMed ® (BCM-95 ®) and Curamin ® in the treatment of osteoarthritis. One group will receive CuraMed, one group will receive Curamin and one group will receive placebo.
The goal of this study is to explore the effectiveness of a commercially available, over-the-counter knee brace in the conservative treatment of knee osteoarthritis. Participants will either be fitted with a brace and told to wear it every day during normal activities, fitted with the brace and given instructions on a set of quadriceps strengthening exercises to complete twice daily, every day, or be given the exercise instructions, but not fitted with a brace. Functional and subjective outcomes will be collected preoperatively and at 6 and 12 weeks from baseline, with the goal of informing the effectiveness of bracing alone versus a home exercise program, and whether the combination of those provides the most therapeutic benefit to participants.
The objective of this study is to evaluate the safety of an injection of Cingal® in subjects with Osteoarthritis (OA) of the knee who participated in Cingal 13-01, and who received either a Cingal, Monovisc, or saline injection in the 13-01 study. The safety evaluation will be done by a through examination of the incidence of adverse events and physical examination of the knee.
Purpose: For the target population of adult patients with end stage osteoarthritis, this randomized clinical trial will be used to evaluate the benefit of three months of physical therapy compared to no treatment in patients indicated for total knee arthroplasty. Participants:Patients that are diagnosed with end stage osteoarthritis who are indicated for total knee arthroplasty. Procedures: Patients will be randomized to either receive physical therapy or no treatment. They will be scheduled to return in 3 months for discussion of operative versus continued nonoperative treatment of their osteoarthritis.This will be determined by change in PROMIS (Patient Reported Outcome Measurement Information System) score and prevention of surgery.
This study seeks to find out if the tibial and patellar components of the Stryker Triathlon Tritanium primary total knee replacement achieve adequate fixation to the underlying bone.
The purpose of this research is to compare the effectiveness of conventional physical therapy (manual physical therapy, exercise, range of motion, and stretching) versus conventional physical therapy combined with dry needling in patients with knee osteoarthritis (OA). Physical therapists commonly use conventional physical therapy techniques and dry needling to treat knee OA, and this study is attempting to find out if the addition of dry needling to conventional physical therapy has an equal, greater, or lesser effect than conventional physical therapy alone.
The primary objective of this study is to determine the levels of proteins and/or cellular components of the synovial fluid that are indicative of microenvironment phenotypes of the osteoarthritic knee compared to unilateral unaffected joints pre-injection to 6 weeks post-Regenexx® SD treatment.
Prescribing exercise for people with painful knee osteoarthritis (OA) is essential for pain management, improved function, and chronic disease prevention. Exercise that decreases joint exposure to damaging loading while eliciting adequate muscular activation for strength improvements is ideal. The purpose of this 3-arm RCT is to compare mobility, strength, pain, and MRI outcomes between the low-loading biomechanical exercise program (BE), a traditional exercise program for knee OA (TE), and a control group completing meditation classes (M).
The investigators include patients attending the outpatient clinic in the area of Orthopedics and Traumatology of the investigators hospital with a diagnosis of knee osteoarthritis, which treatment is medical. Patients will be divided into two groups. In both groups, they will be given verbal, clear and detailed information on the approach to follow, the intra-articular application of Platelet-Rich Plasma in the knee, plus rehabilitation exercises. In the first group will be held single application, while in the second group three applications will be made at an interval of two weeks each. Both groups will be assessed before and after application, together with outpatient follow-up by the SF-12 Health Survey (SF-12), Western Ontario and McMaster Universities Arthritis Index (WOMAC) and Visual Analogue Scale (VAS).
