Filter by:The goal of this multi-center randomized controlled trial is to investigate the effect of pre-operative exercise therapy and education for patients awaiting knee replacement surgery on subjective knee function, patient satisfaction and enablement compared to standard care. The main questions it aims to answer are: - Does pre-operative exercise therapy and education lead to better subjective knee function compared to standard care one year after surgery? - Does pre-operative exercise therapy and education lead to a higher level of patient satisfaction compared to standard care one year after surgery? - Does pre-operative exercise therapy and education lead to better patient enablement compared to standard care six weeks after surgery? - Does pre-operative exercise therapy and education lead to better objective knee function compared to standard care six weeks after surgery? Participants will be randomized stratified by age (≤ 67 years, > 67 years) to either pre-operative supervised individualized exercise therapy combined with education two sessions/week (intervention group) or to standard care (control group). The intervention will be continuously ongoing for at least eight weeks from the point of decision for surgery until as close to the surgery as possible.
The goal of this clinical trial is to determine the clinical effectiveness of a Chronic Care Model (CCM) named Risk Assessment and Management Program on Knee OA (RAMP-Knee OA) in adults with knee Osteoarthritis (Knee OA) at 52 weeks. Participants will be screened for eligibility to participate. After confirming eligibility, participants will complete the baseline assessment and be randomized into one of the following groups (n=114 for each group): 1. RAMP Knee-OA group 2. Usual care group Outcomes will be measured at baseline, week 16, week 32, and week 52.
Osteoarthritis (OA) is a degenerative joint disease characterized by unsuccessful repair of joint damage resulting from stresses in any of the synovial joint tissues. Symptoms include pain (initially only after movement), joint stiffness, limitation of joint movement, feeling of insecurity in the joint, and difficulty walking. The diagnosis of knee osteoarthritis can be easily made with a detailed history and a comprehensive physical examination. Radiographic examinations are used to support clinical findings and exclude other possible pathologies. The main purpose of treating knee osteoarthritis is to reduce pain and make daily life easier. Since there is no standard treatment method, the patient's treatment must be individualized by taking into account age, comorbidity, severity of the clinical picture, patient preferences and cost of treatment. Conservative treatment includes pharmacological and non-pharmacological treatment, and the optimal treatment should be applied as a combination of these two methods. Patient education, lifestyle modification, exercise, different physical therapy modalities (TENS, Interferential current, ESWT...), acupuncture are some non-pharmacological methods. Extracorporeal shock wave therapy (ESWT), which is considered within the scope of conservative treatment, started in the seventies with the practice of breaking ureteric stones and has become one of the physical therapy modalities used in the treatment of various musculoskeletal diseases. Considering the historical development of ESWT, it has started to be used as a therapeutic modality in the treatment of knee osteoarthritis in recent years. The process, which started with animal experiments, continued with human studies, and evidence is presented that ESWT reduces knee pain and contributes to functionality. It is noteworthy that there are few studies and their short follow-up periods. In the light of these studies, it was planned to investigate the effectiveness of ESWT treatment, which will be applied together with exercise, on pain, functionality and walking distance in individuals diagnosed with knee osteoarthritis, in comparison with the control group receiving sham ESWT.
The goal of this clinical trial is to compare Robotic Assisted, functionally aligned vs Custom Made Total Knee Arthroplasty in patients with knee osteoarthritis. The main questions it aims to answer are: - Which implant/philosophy yields better clinical outcomes? - Which implant/philosophy yields better satisfaction? - Which system is more OR efficient? Participants will be followed for 2 years postoperatively.
The aim of this clinical trial study is to compare the efficacy of Hyaluronic injection in patients with symptomatic knee osteoarthritis. The main questions it aims to answer are: - Is Hyaluronic acid injection improve pain symptom, joint stiffness, and joint function in patients with knee osteoarthritis - Is Hyaluronic acid injection improve knee performance status and health-related quality of life in patients with knee osteoarthritis Participants will be allocated to receive one treatments; either Hyaluronic acid or normal saline injections after receiving glucocorticoid injection. Researchers will compare the Hyaluronic acid with normal saline injection to see if the former show superior effect in terms of pain, joint stiffness, function, as well as health-related quality of life comparing with placebo.
The aim of the study is to investigate the effects of superimposed neuromuscular electrical stimulation with active contraction on physical function, muscle and joint structure, functionality, and quality of life in patients with knee osteoarthritis.
One of the main challenges facing the therapist in the treatment of adhesive capsulitis is to motivate the patient throughout conventional therapy. As noted in a recent review, individuals are more interested in leisure activities rather than performing repetitive tasks during therapy. Virtual reality (VR) is a three-dimensional computer-aided programme built with a system that creates virtual reality movements and generates a high amount of visual and sensory feedback during exercise. As a result, virtual reality (VR) has been used in many medical indications and has been shown to promote adherence to treatment by increasing patient motivation.
Primary Objective: To assess the efficacy of ZILRETTA on pain following an intra-articular (IA) injection in subjects with glenohumeral osteoarthritis (OA) relative to normal saline placebo Secondary Objective: - To assess the efficacy of ZILRETTA on pain following an IA injection in subjects with glenohumeral OA relative to triamcinolone acetonide injectable suspension, immediate release (TCA-IR) and normal saline placebo - To assess the safety of ZILRETTA in subjects with glenohumeral OA relative to normal saline placebo and TCA-IR
The goal of this clinical trial is to compare postoperative pain score between perioperative intravenous ketamine and placebo in patients undergoing unilateral total knee arthroplasty under general anesthesia. The main question[s] it aims to answer are: - Can perioperative intravenous ketamine reduce postoperative pain score during rest and movement at 0, 2, 4, 8, 12, 18, 24 hours better than no administration of Ketamine in patients undergoing Unilateral total knee arthroplasty under general anesthesia? - Can perioperative intravenous ketamine reduce morphine consumption in postoperative 24 hours, length of hospital stay, first time to receive opioid and side effect or complication from ketamine and opioid better than no administration of Ketamine in patients undergoing Unilateral total knee arthroplasty under general anesthesia? Participants will receive intravenous ketamine intraoperative TKA and comparison group will receive placebo that is normal saline. Researchers will compare perioperative intravenous ketamine and placebo to see postoperative pain score, morphine consumption in postoperative 24 hours, length of hospital stay, first time to receive opioid and side effect or complication from ketamine and opioid.
This is a prospective, randomized controlled trial using the cruciate retaining, MC Persona to comparing the conventional TKA to ROSA assisted TKA. Patients will be randomized to one of three study trial arms. 1. Standard of care medial parapetallar approach (Control) 2. ROSA PSA medial parapetallar approach 3. ROSA PSA medial subvastus approach Participants will be followed for 1 year post surgery with a combination of perioperative parameters, imaging, patient reported outcomes, functional outcomes, blood and tissue sampling for inflammatory information and activity levels.
