Filter by:The purpose of this study will be to compare the combined effect of using Kinesio taping versus interferential current with an exercise program on knee pain, function, knee range of motion, knee muscle strength, and functional mobility in chronic knee osteoarthritis.
The goal of this prospective study is to compare two different knee replacement robots. This study will look at patient reported outcome measures and data collected during the operation. The main questions this study aims to answer include: - Will the patient reported outcomes differ between the two groups? - Will the intraoperative data differ between the two groups? Participants will undergo total knee replacement with one of the two robots, complete standardized surveys, and have x-rays taken.
The goal of this clinical trial is to assess the effectiveness of dietary supplement combined with exercise in managing knee osteoarthritis (KOA). The main questions it aims to answer are: - Is adding a dietary supplement to exercise additionally effective in managing KOA? - Is adding exercise to the dietary supplement additionally effective in managing KOA? Participants will be given in three groups: 1. Real dietary supplement alone 2. Real dietary supplement with exercise 3. Placebo dietary supplement with exercise Investigators will compare groups 1 and 2, or 2 and 3, to answer the research questions. The hypothesis is that participants who receive the dietary supplement along with exercise will experience greater reduction in pain level, improved physical function, and enhanced quality of life compared to those who receive a placebo combined with exercise or dietary supplement alone.
The goal of this interventional pilot study is to evaluate if performing ligament balancing on the medial collateral ligament (MCL) in a more systematical manner with a novel instrument can produce more objective and repeatable ligament lengthening in Total Knee Arthroplasty. The main questions it aim to answer are: 1. Is it feasible to perform systematic ligament balancing on the MCL using a novel instrument? 2. Can a novel instrument for ligament balancing acquire more objective and repeatable results, without risk of injury? Participants must consent prior to the surgery, but inclusion is only done once ligament balancing is indicated during surgery. Patients will be follow-up as standard protocol for Total Knee Arthroplasty patients at the hospital.
The goal of this Phase 1 study is to investigate the safety of CYT-108, our experimental recombinant protease inhibitor drug candidate for osteoarthritis, in a population of patients suffering from osteoarthritis of the knee. The main questions this study aims to answer are: 1. are two doses of CYT-108, delivered 12 weeks apart, safe when injected directly into the joint? 2. does administration of CYT-108 result in a reduction in pain, stiffness, and improvement in daily physical function? Participants will either receive a placebo (Phosphate Buffer Saline, PBS) or CYT-108, and will be asked to report their pain/stiffness at weeks 1, 4, 8, 12, 16, and 26 (in a physician's office) after the initial injection, using a questionnaire to be provided by the physician. In addition to reporting the magnitude of pain, participants will also be asked about the onset of pain reduction. Researchers will compare the pain/stiffness scores between the CYT-108-treated to placebo-treated groups along the 26 week duration of the study. Participants will also receive blood draws along the course of the study, and researchers will analyze this blood for the presence of cartilage degradation product in attempt to identify "disease modification" (i.e., a reduction in cartilage degradation) in response to CYT-108 treatment.
The purpose of this study is to assess the ability of long-duration low intensity therapeutic ultrasound (LITUS) to alleviate knee Osteoarthritis pain over a 24-week period. The primary objective of this study is to evaluate the analgesic effect of LITUS in subjects suffering from knee Osteoarthritis pain. Secondary objectives are to assess the ability of LITUS to improve joint function.
This is a single centre, randomised, patient blinded pilot study that will assign 40 participants with medial knee osteoarthritis undergoing medial opening wedge high tibial osteotomy (MOWHTO) to either current standard of care with TOMOFIX plating system, or utilise patient specific instrumentation and custom-made plate development, with BodyCAD Fine Osteotomy. If the definitive study is deemed feasible, an additional 110 participants will be randomized, for a total of 150 participants.
Knee osteoarthritis (KOA) first manifests itself as a molecular derangement followed by anatomical and/or physiological changes. Conservative treatment of osteoarthritis should be the first approach to patients with this disease. The interest in biological therapies, including viscosupplementation and cell therapy, involves the recent update in knowledge about the pathophysiology of OA and its natural history. The aim of the present study is to compare the clinical results of intra-articular hyaluronic acid infiltration (IHA), bone marrow aspirate (BMA) and BMA matrix in the treatment of knee osteoarthritis. The sample will consist of 90 patients with osteoarthritis of the knee followed up at the INTO, who will be divided into three groups: group A, treatment with BMA; group B, treatment with IHA ; and group C, treatment with BMA matrix. Patients will be submitted to clinical, subjective functional and radiographic evaluation by an observer independent of the one who applied the selected treatment, at moments before application and 3 months, 6 months and 12 months after application. We believe that treatment with BMA and the BMA matrix have a better effect in improving symptoms and for a longer period of time than treatment with hyaluronic acid.
Effect of Erector Spinae Plane Block and iPACK block with Adductor Canal Block on pain management, and NLR and PLR following knee arthroplasty
Randomized controlled trial Targeted patients who come to receive treatment for osteoarthritis that meets the research indications will be assigned to a random group by the box of 4 randomization method, with a sequence that is randomly generated by a computer. The groups are divided into two groups: Group 1: Patients who have taken 480 mg of hydrolyzed collagen and 20 mg of undenatured type II collagen Group 2: Control patients will take placebo Primary outcome : Pain level
