Filter by:Total knee replacement surgery is a conventional approach to alleviating the pain and lack of function resulting from arthritis of the knee. While conventional knee replacement surgery is highly successful, incidences of improperly installed replacement parts are not uncommon. To improve outcomes, robotic-assisted total knee replacement surgery has recently become available, and has been shown to be extremely effective for partial knee replacement surgery. However, further research is needed to determine if this same technology can be equally effective for total knee replacement surgery. The present study will evaluate outcomes of robotic-assisted versus conventional total knee replacement surgery in patients between 40 and 85 years old with end stage arthritis of the knee. Other than surgical technique, patients will receive the same operative care and knee replacement implants. In addition to standard x-rays, subjects will be asked to complete several short-term clinical and functional tests and questionnaires to determine outcomes of their surgery.
The main purpose of this study is to test the safety and tolerability of T-087. The study will enroll 6 healthy volunteers (HVs) and 6-18 subjects with KOA. All eligible subjects will receive an intravenous injection of the radioactive investigational product (ip) (T-087), followed by SPECT/CT imaging of the knees and blood tests and clinical assessments for safety monitoring. Healthy volunteers will also have their whole body imaged and have extra blood drawn to determine where T-087 goes in the body. These additional procedures will be done on the same day as the ip administration, and repeated the following day. All subjects will have a final follow-up phone call within 2- 3 business days following the ip administration.
This is a single-center, prospective, randomized, single-blind, comparator therapy, parallel group study for symptomatic patients diagnosed with knee osteoarthritis. The aim is to demonstrate superior efficacy of platelet-rich plasma (PRP) as compared to hyaluronic acid (HA) in treating knee osteoarthritis. This aim will be objectively measured by endpoint consisting of changes in cartilage thickness from baseline in the MRI. The Knee Injury and Osteoarthritis Outcome Score (KOOS) Questionnaire will be used to calculate The Western Ontario and McMaster Universities Osteoarthritis Index (WOMAC) total score. It will measure changes in pain and function from baseline. Approximately 100 subjects will be treated at NorthShore University HealthSystem (NorthShore) as part of this study. This study has the potential to improve outcomes in a very common chronic degenerative disease, osteoarthritis, which can have a significant effect on individuals' quality of life.
We compare the efficacy of intra-articular injection of Hyruan-One with Hylan G-F 20 and placebo (NSS) controlled in a double-blind RCT.
Many patients with osteoarthritis of the knee fail non-operative measures and elect to have knee arthroplasty to improve their quality of life. If successful, intra-articular mesenchymal stem cell (MSC) injections into the knee may offer another viable non-operative treatment modality. Additionally, this modality may have reparative or regenerative potential, which could lead to the first treatment for osteoarthritis that treats the underlying disease as opposed to symptomatic control. Additionally, there are no acceptable non-surgical treatments for focal chondral defects of the knee. Surgical treatments that do exist have diminished outcomes if performed on patients older than age 30-40 years. If successful, intra-articular MSC injections into the knee would represent the first non-operative treatment for focal chondral defects and also represent a potential option for treatment in patients over the age of 30-40 years. This trial will be a prospective, single-center phase I pilot study to evaluate the safety and tolerability of a single intra-articular injection of autologous bone marrow-derived MSCs in 16 subjects, 8 who have knee osteoarthritis and 8 who have a focal chondral defect in the knee. Patients will undergo a bone marrow harvest procedure at the Dahms Clinical Research Unit (DCRU) of University Hospitals Cleveland Medical Center. MSCs will be isolated and expanded. After approximately 2-3 weeks, patients will return for an intra-articular injection of 50x106 MSCs Subsequent study visits will occur on post-injection day 7 and months 2, 6, 12, and 24. Safety of intra-articular injection of MSCs will be evaluated at study visits by interval history, physical examination and assessment of any adverse events that are observed/reported. Additionally, efficacy will be evaluated by having patients complete functional outcome measures including: Visual Analog Score (VAS) for pain, Knee Injury and Osteoarthritis Outcome Score (KOOS), International Knee Documentation Committee (IKDC) Subjective Knee Form, and Lysholm Knee Scale. These will be completed at the pre-treatment visit and then repeated at the 2, 6, 12, and 24-month follow-up visits. Lastly, T1 rho and T2 mapping on magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) will be used to assess for improved cartilage quality after intra-articular injection of MSCs. An MRI will be obtained at the pre-treatment visit. At the 12 and 24 month follow up visit, additional MRIs will be obtained and analyzed to compare the pre-treatment MRI to post-treatment MRIs.
The aim of this double-blind, randomized, single-center prospective study (patient and evaluator) is to evaluate the efficacy of arterial occlusion (embolization) of neovessels by microparticle versus placebo on pain in disabling knee osteoarthritis at 12 months.
The study evaluates pain relief and subsequent range of motion changes combining battlefield acupuncture with sodium hyaluronate vs local anesthetic and sodium hyaluronate
The aim of this study is to discuss the effect of gait pattern in patients receiving arthroscopic cartilage regeneration facilitating procedure (ACRFP) for treatment of osteoarthritis of knees.
The study purpose is to explore the effect of functional movement control for patients who have stage II or III degenerative knee joint disease and also physical inactive. Half of patients will receive aerobic exercise and functional movement control training in combination, while the other will simply receive aerobic exercise.
The purpose of this study is to evaluate the pain relief effect of Co-administration of Diacerein with Celecoxib in patients with knee osteoarthritis compared with single administration of each drug.
