Filter by:The effectiveness of PEMF in improving physical function among Osteoarthritic (OA) patients remains a topic of debate, leading to the American College of Rheumatology not yet endorsing its use in OA treatment. Therefore, it's essential to investigate PEMF therapy's efficacy in alleviating joint pain, stiffness, and enhancing physical function in knee OA patients Our study objectives were to evaluate the effectiveness and safety of PEMF therapy and to compare its efficacy with TENS in knee OA management.
The aim of this clinical trial is to compare the effects of music and ambient noise cancellation during total knee arthroplasty and to analyse the effects on patients. The study will also collect information on patients' functional knee scores and anxiety levels. The main questions to be answered are the following: Does the blocking of music or ambient noise, which is predicted to reduce anxiety, reduce people's anxiety levels? To what extent are participants affected by ambient noise? Does music or ambient noise blocking lead to an improvement in patients' functional scores? The researchers will work with 3 groups of patients who will be exposed to ambient noise blocking, music playing and ambient noise during knee replacement surgery. Participants will do the following: Be asked questions about anxiety and knee function scores before and after surgery. Attend clinical examinations at specified times for checks and tests. Outcomes will be assessed and recorded at appropriate times.
The EDUEX trial will determine whether the addition of progressive resistance training (PRT) to a patient education program (EDU) will improve clinical outcomes in patients with hip OA. In a subsample, the effect of PRT on the articular cartilage and other structures of the hip joint is investigated. In this subsample, a comprehensive assessment of possible mechanisms underlying the effects of exercise on pain and function is undertaken. The EduEx trial will be a multicentre, stratified (by site), block randomized (allocation 1:1), controlled, parallel-group superiority trial. 150 people with hip OA will be recruited from hospitals, physiotherapy clinics, social media and newspapers. Participants will be randomized to PRT and EDU or EDU alone. All 150 participants will be included in the clinical evaluation study (CLIN). The last 40 participants randomized to PRT+EDU and to EDU, respectively, will also be included in the mechanistic (MECH) evaluation study (n=80), by being asked to participate in additional outcome assessments. The primary endpoint will be the 12 months follow-up for both the CLIN and MECH study, while a secondary endpoint will be the 3-month follow-up.
The purpose of this study is to investigate how topical diclofenac use can improve functional mobility and physical activity primarily, as well as other quality-of-life (QoL) parameters such as sleep, mood, and engagement in daily activities in participants with knee OA.
The goal of this [type of study: Randomized control trial] is to [ see the effects of Combined Mode Kinetic Chain Exercises along with or without core stability exercises on pain, range of motion and disability ] in [ in patients with Knee Osteoarthritis].The main question it aims to answer is: Wether core stability exercises is effective if performed along with Combined chain kinetic exercises to improves the condition of Knee Osteoarthritis? Group A will receive Core Stability Exercises along with Combined Chain Kinetic Exercises and Group B will receive combined Chain Kinetic Exercises.
To compare metformin (2 g daily), or maximum tolerated dose, for 16 weeks with placebo as a treatment of hand osteoarthritis symptoms.
THis study is aimed to provide a clinical and radiographic evaluation of 49 suitable subjects who underwent a total hip arthroplasty with DELTA Revision acetabular cup.
The aim of this study is to investigate the effectiveness of a smartphone-based e-health application (intervention group) compared with standard care (control group) in terms of changes in adherence in patients with knee osteoarthritis using the EARS questionnaire. In addition, other questionnaires presented in the appendix (KOOS, TSK, EPAP, EQ-5D-3L, pain) will be given to all patients in order to meet the secondary evaluation criteria.
This is a cluster randomized controlled trial to to evaluate the individual and health system impacts of implementing a new physiotherapist-led primary care model for hip and knee pain in Canada.
The study will be Randomized controlled trail, Subject diagnosed with knee osteoarthritis meeting predetermined inclusion and exclusion criteria will be divided into two groups. Pre assessment will be done using pain, ROM, function, foot arches and knee alignment as subjective measurement through KOOS questionnaire, goniometer, 2D frontal plane projection, Berkemann foot prints using ink and paper ,30s chair stand test, nine step stair climb,40m fast paced walk test,Global rating of change score respectively . One group will be treated with hip abductor strengthening exercise along with conventional exercises and second group will be treated with intrinsic foot muscle strengthening exercise along with conventional exercises. Post treatment values recorded after the session.After data collection from defined study setting,data will be entered and analyzed at Riphah International University,Lahore
