Filter by:This is a multicenter , double-blinded, double-dummy, randomized controlled clinical trial to evaluate the efficacy of moxibustion for osteoarthritis of the knee.
This study will answer the question whether there is a difference in the effects and complication rates of ultrasound guided continuous interscalene block (CISB) and nerve stimulation-guided continuous cervical paravertebral block (CCPVB). The aim of this study is to evaluate the differences in efficacy and side effects - if any.
A study evaluating Amniotic Fluid compared to a Saline Placebo Injection in the treatment of subjects with osteoarthritic (OA) knee pain
This study will include patients who are diagnosed with knee OA and are recommended for a knee injection. Study subjects will be randomized to receive either the standard of care knee injection (steroid) or amniotic tissue injection (BioDRestore). Study subjects will be asked for permission for a baseline knee aspiration prior to the knee injection. At 6 months post-injection, knee aspirations will be taken and sent for analysis. Study subjects will be followed for 1 year post-injection to include range of motion measurements and patient-reported pain/functional outcome measurements. X-rays will also be taken at the 1-year post-injection appointment.
The purpose of this study is to determine the limited effectiveness of drains during Total Shoulder Arthroplasty. Drains are used during joint arthroplasty procedures to decrease infection rates, swelling,and the number of dressing changes required during a hospital stay. The use of drains has been heavily investigated in the hip and knee replacement literature, but there have been no investigations regarding their use in shoulder replacements, despite frequent use. Clinical benefit has not been consistently documented regarding drain usage in hip and knee arthroplasty and the investigators hypothesize that they are of limited utility in total shoulder arthroplasty as well. The investigators will perform a prospective investigation of total shoulder arthroplasty patients- dividing them into two groups- half will receive a drain at the time of surgery and the other half will not be receiving a drain.
This is a biomedical study on a medical device. 120 patients will participate in this study and will be split into 2 groups: - 60 patients in the "usual care" group: these patients will receive the usual care proposed by their doctor for 12 months. - 60 patients in the "ODRA" group: these patients will wear the ODRA brace for 12 months in addition to their usual care. They will be instructed to wear the brace for at least 6 hours per day, 5 days per week and to take it off during rest periods when lying down. The distribution of patients in the groups will be randomized. For this study, patients will be followed for 12 months, spread over 3 visits: inclusion visit, follow-up visit at 6 months and 12 months.
The primary objective of this study is to assess the clinical effectiveness of two different techniques used for subscapularis tendon repair during total shoulder replacement. The investigators hypothesize that participants who receive a newer repair technique called a lesser tuberosity osteotomy will have lower rates of postoperative subscapularis muscle dysfunction and rupture as compared to those who receive the traditional tenotomy repair.
This study will evaluate the safety of an intra-articular injection of AMPION™ in adults with pain due to osteoarthritis of the basal thumb joint.
The purpose of this study was to compare the effects of FX006 and Triamcinolone Acetonide Injectable Suspension, United States Pharmacopeia (USP) (referred to as TCA IR in the protocol) on blood glucose (BG) in patients with osteoarthritis (OA) of the knee and Type 2 diabetes mellitus (DM).
This study will compare interscalene nerve block versus liposomal bupivacaine (Exparel) for pain control after total shoulder replacements. Each method will be assessed in terms of post operative pain scores, pain medication consumption, length of stay, complications (nerve injuries, hematomas, cardiac/respiratory events) and rate of readmission due to pain. The aims of this study will be achieved through a randomized controlled trial and cost-effectiveness analysis.
