Filter by:Both extra corporeal shock wave and dexamethasone iontophoresisare effective in treatment of knee osteoarthritis but which one is more effective is not clear yet . so the purpose of this study was to investigate and compare between the effect of shock wave and iontophoresis in treatment of knee osteoarthritis . it was hypothesized that there will be no difference between the effect of shock wave and iontophoresis on treatment of knee osteoarthritis.
The purpose of this post-market research study is to gather clinical and radiographic (X-ray) information about total knee replacement surgeries completed with the VELYS Robotic-Assisted Solution and with standard manual instrumentation. The VELYS Robotic-Assisted Solution helps the surgeon to plan bone cuts and then accurately achieve the planned cuts during the total knee replacement surgery. The study aims to compare how well the VELYS Robotic-Assisted system enables the surgeon to position the implants exactly as planned compared to manual instrumentation.
Use of mirtazapine and quetiapine for improvement of sleep quality after TKA
The purpose of this study is to evaluate clinical performance and safety in total knee arthroplasty using HLS implants.
The goal is to evaluate the outcomes and learning curve of a robot-assisted total knee arthroplasty device with automatic ligament balancing.
Introduction and Purpose: Compression is a tactile stimulus that can reduce the perception of pain by stimulating tactile skin receptors and the speed of nerve conduction. It is highly associated with cryotherapy and other non-pharmacological physical agents without musculoskeletal pain control. However, there is still a lack of evidence on its possible effects on the modulation of this type of pain. This study will evaluate the effect of compression by elastic bandages, on pain and on the function of belonging with knee osteoarthritis (KO). Methodology: A randomized, blinded controlled clinical trial will be conducted. Individuals with KO (n = 90; both sexes; between 40 and 75 years old), will be allocated into three groups (n = 30 / group): Compression (submitted to compression by elastic bandage on the affected knee, 20 min, in 4 days consecutive); Sham (submitted to the same protocol with elastic bandage, but without compression); and Control (waiting list, without intervention). All will be taken one day before the start and one day after the last intervention. They will also be adopted in the 12th and 24th weeks after the intervention. The main outcome will be the pain intensity (Visual Analogue Scale). The Western Ontario & McMaster Universities Osteoarthritis (WOMAC) physical function questionnaire, physical function tests (step test, sit and stand test in 30s, 40m accelerated walk test), and the perception scale global change (GRC). Data analysis: SPSS 24.0 software will be used for descriptive analysis and performance of Kolmogorov-Smirnov tests, two-way ANOVA and multiple comparison tests. A 95% confidence level and a 5% significance level will be adopted.
The purpose of this study is to determine the safety and efficacy of intraarticular injection of umbilical cord derived Wharton's Jelly for treatment of knee osteoarthritis symptoms.
Serotonin-Norepinephrine Reuptake Inhibitor (SNRI) has recently been reported to be effective in controlling pain in persistent chronic pain caused by joint surgery and arthritis. However, opioids are important drugs that still play a pivotal role in pain control after surgery. In this study, we want to investigate the difference of the result among patients who undego total knee arthroplasty (TKA), of the result of pain control after TKA from SNRI administration of duloxetine and opioid in two groups. We designed a randomized controlled study (RCT) for the effect of post-TKA pain control to determine whether SNRI is effective in controlling post-TKA pain compared to Opioid, and whether there is a difference in side effects.
The purpose of this study is to measure the changes in the medial and lateral meniscus extrusion of the knee joint before and after surgery using ultrasound in patients who undergo medial opening wedge high tibial osteotomy, and examine the differences.
Osteoarthritis of the knee joint causes pain, stiffness, and restriction of joint movement in the knee joint due to degeneration of the knee cartilage. The purpose of osteoarthritis treatment is to improve the joint pain and prevent further damage to the joint. Selective Cox-2 inhibitors are the most commonly used nonsteroid anti-inflammatory drugs(NSAIDs) for the treatment of osteoarthritis of the knee joint. However, the safety of selective Cox-2 inhibitors is still controversial. Although these NSAIDs are effective in reducing pain and inflammation, they cannot be called a fundamental treatment for knee arthritis. Accordingly, interest in SYSADOA (Symptomatic Slow-acting Drugs for Osteoarthritis) is gradually increasing. Joins is a herbal anti-arthritic drug that has various physiological activities and a new concept of osteoarthritis treatment. It has anti-inflammatory, analgesic and joint cartilage protection effects as well as fundamental treatment. Joins is used to improve articular cartilage metabolism, can delay the progression of degenerative arthritis in the knee and compensate for the disadvantages of Selective Cox-2 inhibitors. However, when the selective Cox-2 inhibitor and Joins tablet are used alone, the therapeutic effect on knee degenerative arthritis may be limited. The purpose of this study is to investigate the therapeutic effect and safety of joining together with celecoxib for degenerative arthritis of the knee joint, and to determine the degree of analgesic and anti-inflammatory effects of the combination therapy.
