Filter by:Sixty four participants were enrolled in a randomized, controlled clinical trial to evaluate the effectiveness of daily cane use on pain, function, quality of life and energy consumption during the gait in patients with knee osteoarthritis.
The hypotheses of this study are: In the older population with knee OA, - When acupoints are chosen for both sleep and pain, there are additive effects on sleep improvement and pain relief (i.e. no interaction). - Main effects of acupuncture on sleep improvement and pain relief are anticipated when acupoints are separately targeted for sleep and for pain, respectively.
Osteoarthritic changes in the knee are a common cause of pain that restricts the subject's ability to move and may lead to surgical intervention with total knee replacement. Quadriceps muscle strengthening has been shown to improve the dynamic stability of the knee, decreasing pain during locomotion and increasing knee function. However, the gains associated with improved quadriceps strength have been difficult to achieve on a routine clinical basis because the currently available ways to increase muscle strength- through voluntary exercise or surface electrical stimulation- have significant practical problems that limit their use. The aim of this prospective study is to evaluate the safety and effectiveness of neuromuscular stimulation using implantable microstimulators called BIONs to improve the strength, range of motion, and health of the knee in patients with knee osteoarthritis. This investigation is expected to last 12 weeks for each study participant; the trial will be completed over a 3-year period. Patients recruited into the study will have advanced knee osteoarthritis for which total knee replacement surgery is being considered. The proposed study extends a feasibility study carried out in Milan, Italy on five patients with knee osteoarthritis, who were implanted with BIONs.
To evaluate the efficacy, safety, tolerability, pharmacodynamics, and pharmacokinetics in patients with osteoarthritic pain of the knee. The most painful knee joint will be identified as the index joint at screening, and this joint will be used for all pain assessments throughout the study.
1. Simple home-based standing balance training and isometric knee extension exercise for 4 weeks would improve functional ability and knee muscle strength of patients with knee osteoarthritis. 2. The outcome of standing balance training is different from isometric knee extension exercise.
The purpose of this scientific study is to clarify whether there is a relationship between the appearance of radiolucent lines in bone-cement interphase of the tibial component of the different models of the Oxford Uni Knee prosthesis and poor prognosis of these prostheses. This will be accomplished in a se-ries of three different Oxford Uni Knees.
this is a randomized double blinded trial which is conducted to measure the efficacy of topical virgin olive oil on osteoarthritis of knee that will be done in contrast to standard piroxicam gel.
To evaluate the safety and tolerability of single IV doses of PF-04383119 in Japanese patients with moderate to severe pain from OA of the knee (Part I). To evaluate the preliminary analgesic efficacy of PF-04383119 in Japanese patients with moderate to severe pain from OA of the knee in comparison with placebo (Part I and Part II).
The purpouse of this study is to determine the efficacy and safety of chondroitin sulphate conventional treatment in patients with both knee osteoarthritis and plaque psoriasis.
The main objective is the long-term comparison (3 years and 4 months) of the efficacy and safety of repeated intra-articular administration of hyaluronic acid in the treatment of osteoarthritis of the knee.
