Filter by:A randomized control trial will be conducted at the outpatient department of Dow Institute of Physical Medicine and Rehabilitation. A sample size of 80 is calculated using PASS version 11 software. The subjects will be first screened and those who fulfill the inclusion criteria, will be asked to fill the consent form. After selection, the participants will be randomly allocated by the help of computer generated randomization sheet, into two groups i.e. experimental and the control group. The group A will be provided with the myofascial release along with the neuromuscular training whereas the group B will only receive the neuromuscular training. Cold pack will be applied to both the groups. The neuromuscular training consists of warm-up phase, lunges, sideways exercises, wall squats, weight transfer exercises, step up and down and the cool down phase. Total 12 sessions of 35 minutes each will be given to all the participants for about 4 weeks on alternate days. Outcome measures will be analyzed by visual analogue scale (VAS) for pain assessment, goniometry for range of motion and the Knee injury and Osteoarthritis Outcome Score (KOOS) to evaluate the functional assessment of the patients at the baseline and the post intervention.
the aim of this study is to investigate the efficacy of Combination Therapy on Knee Osteoarthritis Pain in Postmenopausal Women
The aim of this study was to determine the effectiveness of transitional care in patients with total knee arthroplasty on patients' functional status, perceived self-efficacy, and health care use. Based on the sampling inclusion criteria, we assigned the patients who would undergo knee arthroplasty to the control (n=35) and intervention (n=35) groups, via the block randomization method. The intervention group received transitional care, while the control group received usual care. Data were collected on post-intervention functional status, level of self-efficacy, and hospital visits outside of routine control.
This is a parallel-arm mixed-methods randomized controlled trial to investigate the feasibility of telehealth delivered mindful exercise vs. usual exercise interventions for people with knee osteoarthritis.
The aim of this study was to investigate the relationship between central sensitization (CS) and poor response to conventional physical therapy in patients with knee osteoarthritis (OA) by evaluating clinical parameters of pain and functionality. 84 knee OA patients with knee pain for at least 3 months and 30 healthy controls were included in the study. Socio-demographic features of the participants such as age, sex, body mass index (BMI), and duration of symptoms were recorded. Structural damage was assessed by knee radiography. Knee pain and functional status were evaluated by visual analogue scale (VAS) and Western Ontario and McMaster Universities Osteoarthritis Index (WOMAC) at baseline and immediately after the treatment. Additionally, the following measures were applied at baseline: Central Sensitization Inventory (CSI), Beck Depression Inventory (BDI), Insomnia Severity Index (ISI), Pain Catastrophization Scale (PCS), and PainDETECT Questionnaire (PD-Q). Pressure pain threshold (PPT) was measured with a digital algometer at the painful joint, near the joint area, and in a painless remote region. Patients with knee OA underwent a total of 15 sessions of conventional physical therapy program including hotpack, ultrasound (US), transcutaneous electrical nerve stimulation (TENS), and exercise 5 days a week, for 3 weeks. The control group had no treatment except for the PPT measurement to obtain the reference PPT values. After the treatment, the patients were divided into two groups as 'responders' and 'non-responders' according to their response to treatment. The relationship between the response to physical therapy and clinical parameters was evaluated.
The aim of the study is to examine the effectiveness of arthrocentesis plus tenoxicam injection and to compare it with arthrocentesis alone in patients with TMJ-OA. Thirty patients with TMJ-OA who were treated randomly with either arthrocentesis plus tenoxicam injection (TX group) or arthrocentesis alone (control group) were examined. Maximum mouth opening (MMO), visual analog scale (VAS) pain values, and joint sounds were the outcome variables, which were evaluated at pre-treatment and at 1, 4, 12, and 24 weeks after treatment.
A First-in-Human, Double-blind, Randomized, Placebo-controlled, Single Ascending Dose Study to Evaluate Safety, Tolerability, Pharmacokinetics/Pharmacodynamics of iN1011-N17 after Oral Administration in Healthy Volunteers.
Osteoarthritis (OA) is the most common degenerative joint disease, affecting more than 25% of the population . Knee OA is an insidious disease related to structural changes in the joint over many years. Progressive articular damage results in a loss of the extracellular matrix of cartilage in addition to changes in subchondral bone. Duloxetine, a selective serotonin, and norepinephrine reuptake inhibitor, it seems to be effective in treating neuropathic and chronic pain conditions.
Osteoarthritis (OA) is a degenerative disease of great morbidity in which therapies are typically palliative and only alleviate pain Mesenchymal stem cells ,adipose derived stromal cell are possible new chondroprotective regenerative treatment modalities. Clinical Effectiveness after administration of adipose derived stromal cells along with platelet rich plasma was investigated in 140 patients having moderate to severe knee (stage 3 and 4) Patients were evaluated and followed up for 2 year by subjective WOMAC score,six minute walking distance ,need of rescue medication Radiographic and MRI evaluation of joint space and cartilage thickness respectively
