Filter by:The aim of this study was to compare the efficacy of treatment in three groups of patients with knee osteoarthritis (OA) given a combination of intraosseous with intra-articular injection of platelet rich plasma (PRP), intra-articular injection of PRP and a single application of hyaluronic acid (HA).
Our purpose of this study therefore is to conduct a prospective randomized controlled trial to investigate the blood-conservation effect of combined topical application of these two hemostatic agents in different time during surgery and the safety compared with single topical application of TKA in a primary TKA procedure
One common anesthetic that is performed for total knee replacement surgery is spinal anesthesia with an adductor canal regional block, which involves injecting numbing medication in the thigh region for pain control after surgery. The aim of this study is to determine whether the addition of another regional block called obturator nerve block, which involves injecting numbing medication in the upper thigh region, will improve pain control after surgery while not sacrificing mobility after surgery.
The clinical and cost effectiveness of peri-articular liposomal bupivacaine plus bupivacaine hydrochloride compared with bupivacaine hydrochloride alone for post-operative recovery after knee replacement surgery: A multi-centre, patient-blinded, randomised controlled trial.
In 1990, the prevalence of osteoarthritis of the hip or knee was very low 3.5% in Saudi Arabia, it increased to 53.3% and 60.9% in male in female patients respectively in 2002. The existing management of OA is conservative and pharmacological management aiming to relief symptoms of osteoarthritis and improves joint function. Results of a Meta-Analysis showed that mesenchymal stem cell is effectiveness and safe to treat knee osteoarthritis. In 1990, the prevalence of osteoarthritis of the hip or knee was very low 3.5% in the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia and it increased to 53.3% and 60.9% in male in female patients respectively in 2002. Results of a Meta-Analysis showed that mesenchymal stem cell is effectiveness and safe to treat knee osteoarthritis. This study will be a single center phase II-one arm clinical trial. It will be conducted at KF SH&RC-Jeddah. 18 participants will be recruited from orthopedic clinics. Participate will be evaluated before inclusion in the study. Participants will be exposed to e abdominal liposuction procedure under local anesthesia for stem cells harvesting. Stem cells will be separated from fat cells in the adipose tissue then activated in Tissue Culture Lab at Research Center- Jeddah. The activated stem cells will be injected into the knee joint via 22G spinal needle. The intra-articular stem cells injections will be performed under Ultrasound guidance at the theater under spinal anesthesia. Each patient will receive 1.0× 108 stem cells in 3 mL of normal saline
The primary objective of the study is to evaluate the efficacy of fasinumab compared to placebo, when administered for up to 24 weeks in patients with pain due to osteoarthritis (OA) of the knee or hip. The secondary objectives of the study are: - To evaluate the efficacy of fasinumab compared to non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAID)s, when administered for up to 24 weeks in patients with pain due to OA of the knee or hip - To assess the safety and tolerability of fasinumab compared to placebo and compared to NSAIDs, when administered for up to 24 weeks in patients with pain due to OA of the knee or hip
Rehabilitation after Total Knee Arthroplasty surgery involves physical therapy services to address limitations in range of motion, strength, and participation in normal daily activities. This investigation will compare the outcomes from standard physical therapy intervention in comparison to reduced frequency physical therapy sessions supplemented with in-home exercise equipment.
The investigators plan to investigate the effectiveness of acupuncture at highly sensitive points, compared with lowly/non-sensitive points or no acupuncture (waiting-list), in improving pain, joint function and quality of life, among patients with KOA. The safety of acupuncture will also be assessed during the study period.
Both neuropathic and nociceptive mechanisms may contribute to the OA pain experience. Aims: The aim of this study was to determine the efficacy of warm whirlpool on pain, disability, quality of life (QoL) and sleep for patients with neuropathic pain.
This study will compare the accuracy and patient reported outcomes between four different techniques used to perform a knee injection.
