The participant population for this study will be a convenience sample of 40 active duty soldiers and cadets at West Point, New York (NY) who are recovering from anterior cruciate ligament reconstruction (ACLR) and are cleared to return to run by their medical provider. Two groups will be utilized in this pre-test, post-test, single-blind randomized controlled trial study design. The purpose of this study is to determine if patients recovering from ACLR benefit from running gait retraining to adopt a forefoot strike pattern and 5-10% increase in step rate when compared to a traditional walk to run program.
The investigator's aim with this study is to address, with the new paradigm of tranexamic acid, the role of wound drainage following total knee arthroplasty in blood loss, blood transfusion requirements and functional recovery
The purpose of this study is to assess the effectivity of adductor canal block performed the day after total knee arthroplasty surgery in reducing pain and improving walking ambulation ability and muscle strength.
This is a phase 3, multicentre, prospective, single-blind on principal efficacy criterion, 2 parallel groups, randomized, controlled clinical study comparing efficacy and safety of actiTENS versus systemic level 2 analgesics recommended for the treatment of moderate or severe, nociceptive, chronic pain in patients suffering from osteoarthritis of the knee.
The purpose of the study is to determine if knee replacement performed using Journey II implant is different from two other standard-of-care knee replacements using Stryker and Zimmer in terms of knee movements and forces, walking patterns, pain, and function after surgery.
This mechanistic clinical trial proposes to test whether a five-day course of mindfulness meditation training (MMT) and tDCS, and their combination, can enhance pain modulatory balance and pain-related brain function, reduce clinical pain, among African Americans and non-Hispanic whites with knee osteoarthritis (OA). This approach will provide evidence that targeting stress and pain-related brain function will reduce OA-related pain and ethnic group differences therein.
The observation of the clinical use of the Delivra Celecoxib cream (8%) in the treatment of osteoarthritis of the knee. Observations will be made over 12 weeks of treatment. Evaluations include: pain, functionality and patients global assessment of disease. Patients will self administer treatment as prescribed.
Osteoarthritis (OA) is one of the commonest chronic degenerative conditions affecting our aging population. It limits joint movement and causing disability in elderlies due to discordant symptoms such as pain and stiffness. The prevalence of radiologic knee osteoarthritis increases in proportion to age, reaching an astounding 64.1% for patients whom are over 60 years of age. In addition the prevalence of symptomatic knee OA has been shown to be around 10% in people who are 60 years and older.
Fast-track total knee arthroplasty (TKA) is a well-established concept including optimized logistics and evidence-based treatment, focusing on minimizing surgical stress and improved post-operative recovery. The aim of this protocol is to compare the standard care and fast track total knee arthroplasties in terms of functional and subjective outcomes, hospital staying, number of transfusions and analgesic consumption.
