Filter by:Primary aim: evaluate efficacy of intra-articular injection of etanercept for moderate and severe knee osteoarthritis. Second aim: investigate the potentiality of serum cytokines (TNF-α, L1-α, IL1-β, MMP1, MMP13) to predict the response of intra-articular injection of etanercept for moderate and severe knee osteoarthritis.
A multicenter, randomized, double-blinded, parallel, active-controlled, phase IV clinical trial to evaluate the efficacy and safety of PlbCR and aceclofenac in the treatment of patients with osteoarthritis of the knee
The purpose of this study is to determine if patients undergoing a total knee arthroplasty (TKA) experience a clinically significant reduction in healing time when treated post operatively with a specific form of micro and nano-ampere current. The results of this trial will provide a basis for generalizing its outcomes to apply to other joint replacements and revisions by reducing edema and inflammation and therefore will result in a shorter time to heal. The study will compare electrically treated and non electrically treated patients by using digitally based measurements to determine objective reductions of lower extremity edema including intra and inter cellular shifts in fluid distribution, increased range of motion (ROM) and muscle strength, and improved functional tests of ambulation.
1. To determine whether the low-dose, biplanar x-ray imaging (EOS) has the same accuracy as computed axial tomography (CT) 2. To validate low-dose, biplanar x-ray imaging (EOS) as a tool to evaluate 3-dimensional alignment of Total Knee Replacement implants. 3. To evaluate differences in total knee replacement implant alignment in patients whose arthroplasty is performed using manual or custom instrumentation derived from preoperative CT
The purpose of this study is to compare objective and subjective measures of knee stability following total knee arthroplasty with a medial pivot design vs. a posterior stabilized design.
The repetitive motions associated with active life and many sports can increase the wear and tear to the joints that leads to decrease in flexibility and joint pain finally heading its way to osteoarthritis. Activities such as jumping, running can wear away the cartilage that supports and cushions the joints of hands and knees, causing bones to rub against each other. Injuries stemming from repetitive motions can also cause and worsen the joint pain. Joint pain is discomfort that arises from any joint . Irrespective of the underlying mechanisms, joint pain usually originates in activation of nociceptors, or free nerve endings. Complex neuronal activation occurs, which involves not only local sensitization of joint nociceptors but also modifications in central pain pathways. Even though, the numerous pharmacological interventions are available for joint pain, there is much debate amongst clinicians about the best approach to the treatment of joint pain. NSAIDs which is frequently used for treatment in such cases, carries concerns related to gastro-intestinal system, cardiovascular system as well as central nervous system . Hence there is a need of a safer alternative treatment option for relieving acute joint pain which is comparable to the modern medicines, without posing concerns to the subject's general well being. Herbs are known to be used since ages in traditional literature and do not pose any potential health concern. Inspite of such positive attributes herbs are not employed in treatment of acute pains as there is lack of evidence proving the same. In order to address the need of the hour Enovate Biolife has invented a novel poly herbal formulation E-OA-07 (Lanconone). Lanconone has been studied previously in patients with osteoarthritis has been proven efficacious . It has a good history of marketing and is sold in the United States, with no reported adverse event related to the product. However there is no concrete evidence proving the product's acute pain relieving dynamics, hence the current study has been employed to comprehend the effect of lanconone in joint acute pain.
Osteoarthritis (OA) is one of the most common forms of arthritis. It is a lasting condition in which the material that cushions the joints, called cartilage, breaks down. This causes the bones to rub against each other, causing inflammation, stiffness, pain and loss of joint movement. Currently, there are few effective treatments available for patients suffering from OA. Mesenchymal stem cells (MSCs) are cells that have the ability to self-regenerate, which means they have the ability to make copies of themselves and to turn into other kinds of cells (e.g. cartilage cells). Stem cell science shows much promise for the future treatment of osteoarthritis, but much of the research is still in the early stages. In this study, researchers want to determine the safety of MSCs that a patient can tolerate without causing side effects. This will be done by starting at a low dose of MSCs and moving on to the next higher dose level provided there are no safety concerns. Researchers will also be looking at the function of the knee over time, which may give them some insight on the usefulness of MSCs as a treatment option.
3VM1001 is a topical cream that may be useful for the treatment of chronic osteoarthritis of the knee. This proof of concept study is a randomized, placebo-controlled, double-blind study to compare treatment with 3VM1001 cream to an inactive cream placebo. Subjects will self-treat for 30 days.
The present study is designed to test the hypothesis that Intra-Articular Hyaluronic Acid (IAHA) is superior to placebo in slowing structural progression and on long term symptomatic effect in primary knee Osteoarthritis (OA) patients. The investigators will perform a multicenter double-blind, randomized, placebo-controlled, parallel group trial.
To assess the safety and efficacy of LBSA0103 (BDDE cross-linked sodium hyaluronate gel) when it is administered for the second time 26 weeks after its first administration in patients with osteoarthritis of the knee. The Safety and efficacy of 26weeks after its first administration will be also evaluated.
