The primary objective is to evaluate the overall performance of ORTHIX PLUS in providing relief in patients suffering from painful knee ostearthritis or degenerative joint diseases when used according to indications for use. The first secondary objective is to evaluate the overall performance of ORTHIX PLUS in providing relief when used according to indications for use, at different time points. The other secondary objective is to evaluate the overall safety during the study period.
The purpose of this clinical study was to determine whether gold nanoparticles (AuNP) supplement holds clinical value in improving joint health, function, and quality of life for arthritis patients.
The aim of the study is to assess safety, tolerability and preliminary efficacy of XSTEM-OA when administered as a single intra-articular injection to patients with symptomatic knee osteoarthritis. The study is divided into two parts; a dose escalation (Part A) and an optional dose expansion part (Part: B). Three dose levels are planned to be evaluated in Part A and selected dose level(s) may be further expanded in Part B.
Knee osteoarthritis is one of the most common causes of pain and loss of function in the elderly population and is a source of socioeconomic costs. Selective denervation of the superior medial, superior lateral and inferior medial genicular nerves, which provide the sensory innervation of the knee joint, is an effective treatment method used to relieve pain and improve functional capacity. Radiofrequency neurolysis of genicular nerves (RFN) is accepted as an effective technique for the treatment of knee pain. However, due to higher equipment costs, longer procedure times, and procedure-related pain, alternative treatments are needed.
Knee osteoarthritis is a progressive degenerative and non-inflammatory joint disorder. Due to the extensive use and stress placed on knee joint, it is a common site for painful disorders such as knee osteoarthritis. It is seen that medial side of knee is most commonly affected because of weight bearing on medial side. Symptomatically, the knee joint is most commonly affected in osteoarthritis because it requires support, high mobility, and insufficient internal stability. Osteoarthritis of the knee joint affects three parts of the knee joint (medial, lateral, and patellar-femoral joints) and develops slowly, usually over 10-15 years, interfering with daily activities Slow and gentle movements like Tai Chi, Isometric, iso-kinetic and isotonic exercises are considered helpful in increasing joint range of motion and physical function. Stretching and aquatic therapy can also decrease pain and enhance joint flexibility. The aim of this study is to compare the effects of Mulligan rotational movement vs Medial gapping technique on pain, range of motion and disability in knee osteoarthritis. This study will be a randomized control trial and will be conducted in Riphah clinics and LGH. The study will be completed within the time duration of six months. Non-probability convenient sampling technique will be used to collect the data. Those who will meet the inclusion criteria will be recruited in the group. The sample size of patients with knee osteoarthritis will be taken in this study to find the effects of Mulligan Rotational movements vs. Medial gap technique, aged between 20-40 years, will be allocated to an intervention or control group. The scales used for recording findings will be goniometer, visual analogue scale and modified disability index. Subjects will randomly divide into control group called group A Taking Mulligan therapy and Interventional group called group B taking Median Gapping Technique. 12 sessions over 6 weeks were performed on both groups. Data analysis will be done by SPSS version 25.
The purpose of this study is to determine the intra-articular and serum levels of vancomycin over the first 24 hours postoperatively after intra-articular administration of a standard dose of vancomycin in primary total knee arthroplasty.
Objective: Identifying the dose of EVI-01 with the best clinical response, balancing the efficacy, safety, and tolerability of the investigational product. Study design: Interventional, dose-finding, three arms, randomized (1:1:1), parallel assignment, double-blind, controlled by an active comparator.
Cortisone injections are commonly used in the treatment of osteoarthrosis of the knee, but there are known detriments to cortisone including localized tissue atrophy near the injection site and acceleration of joint degeneration, as well as contraindications, such as uncontrolled diabetes. Ketorolac is a non-steroidal anti-inflammatory with decades of clinical data that is most commonly injected intramuscularly. There is rising interest in using ketorolac as an intra-articular injectant substitute or adjunctive to cortisone. This may potentially improve clinical outcomes or decrease adverse effects. Although intra-articular use of ketorolac is increasing in orthopedics and sports medicine, there is limited data in the literature comparing these two injectants in prospective, randomized trials, and no data that evaluates combining the two injectants. Primary objectives are to evaluate the efficacy of intra-articular ketorolac compared to cortisone on knee osteoarthrosis and to evaluate whether the combination of ketorolac and cortisone is superior to either alone.
Knee osteoarthritis is a major public health issue because it causes chronic pain, reduces physical function and diminishes quality of life. Aging of the population and increased global prevalence of obesity are anticipated to dramatically increase the prevalence of knee osteoarthritis. Knee osteoarthritis is characterized by complex multifactorial joint pathology and is the most common form of joint disorder in the world. Chronic knee osteoarthritis leads to marked weakening of the quadriceps femoris muscle, which is the extensor and stabilizer of the knee and atrophy of this muscle result knee pain and functional impairment. Quadriceps muscle weakness and atrophy have been reported to contribute to functional impairment and pain in patients with knee osteoarthritis and quadriceps strengthening can be achieved through open kinetic chain exercises and close kinetic chain exercises. Close kinetic chain exercises are modeled as, in which a movement in a joint simultaneously produces movements in other joints of the extremity. Open kinetic chain exercises and close kinetic chain exercises form the combined chain exercises. Kinesiotaping with these exercises to improve the patients suffering with knee osteoarthritis. The aim of this study will be to compare the effects of kinesiotaping as an adjunct to combined chain exercises compared with only kinesiotaping on pain, range of motion and quality of life in the management of individuals with knee osteoarthritis. This study will be randomized control trial. Patients will be recruited into two groups by simple random assignment. Non probability consecutive sampling technique will be used. Data will be collected from patients of grade 2 knee osteoarthritis patients by using NPRS for pain, Goniometer for ROM and SF-36 for quality of life will be used before and immediate after the treatment. Those who will meet the inclusion criteria will be recruited. Group 1 will be treated with kinesiotaping and combined chain exercises and the Group 2 will be treated with only kinesiotaping on knee OA patients. Total intervention will be given for four weeks for three sessions per week.The subject attended physical therapy and kinesiotaping will assess for pain, range of motion and quality of life at baseline and after 4 week of intervention. After collecting data from defined study setting, data will be entered and analyzed by using Statistical Package for the Social Sciences (SPSS) for Windows software, version 25.
