Filter by:The overall purpose of the proposed pilot study is to establish the feasibility of conducting a clinical trial by evaluating the preliminary effects of 8 weeks of knee bracing on physiological measures of self-reported pain and disability, physical performance, physical activity, as well as femoral cartilage deformation in individuals with medial compartment knee osteoarthritis (OA). The investigators will recruit 36 symptomatic knee OA patients for the pilot study. The investigators will evaluate a class of braces (two different models will be used) designed to correct genu varum. The purpose of the study is to evaluate changes in these novel outcomes following the use of a class of braces used to reduce medial tibiofemoral compartment compression used for 8 weeks. This pilot study will inform a larger future trial to determine the efficacy of bracing on decreasing disability and disease progression in patients with knee osteoarthritis.
Translation and Cross-cultural adaptation process of the Osteoarthritis Knee and Hip Quality of Life questionnaire. According to granted guidelines, shared by the developer of the questionnaire, the study was conducted among Hungarian patients affected by osteoarthrosis.
This clinical trial is performed with patients with knee osteoarthritis who were radiologically diagnosed with Kellgren-Lawrence (K&L) grade 2 or 3. Subjects who voluntarily signed consent form and met inclusion/exclusion criteria, were evaluated eligible and participated in this trial. Investigator selected knee to be evaluated (right or left) and administered investigational product to selected knee on Day 1. A total of 3 or 6 subjects will be enrolled in low-dose or mid-dose group each, and 6 subjects will be enrolled in high-dose group. The study used a dose escalation scheme (from low-dose to high-dose) to determine the maximum tolerated dose (MTD).
Post-menopausal women aged 40-65 with symptomatic hand osteoarthritis are invited to take part in this feasibility study. The study's aim is to investigate whether it is acceptable to women with painful hand OA to take an estrogen-containing therapy, and what is the best way of collecting some of the information in order to facilitate planning a full size trial. The investigator's long-term aim is to find out whether giving estrogen-containing therapy to women after the menopause improves hand OA symptoms.
This is a randomized controlled trial comparing the short-term effect of electromoxibustion and knee health education for relieving knee pain in older adults with knee osteoarthritis.
A retrospective consecutive population of patients treated with cementless total hip arthroplasty with ceramic-on-ceramic bearing surfaces due to post-traumatic osteoarthritis due to acetabular fractures will be selected. The aim of this retrospective study is to evaluate the long-term clinical and radiographic results of this implant in such a specific cohort. The secondary aim of the sudy is to provide the complication rate and the failure rate of the cohort. A descriptive analysis of the failures will be provided as well.
This study aimed to investigate the efficacy of a single intraarticular injection of PRP for the treatment of early knee OA.
Whether elastic band resistance exercise (EBRE) as a home-based rehabilitation routine can control the glycated heamoglobin (HbA1c) level and improve the muscle strength, dynamic balance, and physical function in older patients with comorbid T2DM and knee OA?
Platelet-rich plasma (PRP) has been reported to be an effective treatment for knee osteoarthritis (OA). The application in ankle OA has rarely been investigated. The aim was to evaluate the efficacy and safety of a single intraarticular injection of PRP for the treatment of patients with ankle OA.
The purpose of the study is to gain a better understanding of how genetic variations can affect pain experience and the need and type of pain control medication after a total knee replacement.
