Filter by:Patient suffer from moderate posterior knee pain after TKA despite injection of local anesthetic around the femoral or saphenous nerves. Indeed, the posterior part of the knee is innervated by the sciatic nerve. This nerve is not routinely blocked as clinicians fear to produce a motor block of the leg that might impair the postoperative assessment. An analgesic alternative is the infiltration of the knee with local anesthetics performed by the surgeon. Recently a trial(1) demonstrated that a selective tibial nerve block provides an effective analgesia without a motor blockage when compared with a sciatic nerve block. The objective of this randomized controlled double-blinded trial is to assess whether a tibial nerve block is more effective for the postoperative pain than local infiltration analgesia when there are combined with an adductor canal block, without decreasing the functional parameters.
A randomized, placebo-controlled trial with blinded outcome assessments will be conducted to evaluate the efficacy and safety of CBD in patients with Hand-OA and PsA during a 12-week treatment period.
The primary objective of the study is to evaluate the effect of fasinumab compared to placebo on peripheral nerves in participants with pain due to Osteoarthritis (OA) of the hip or knee. The secondary objectives of the study are to: - Evaluate the efficacy of fasinumab compared to placebo in participants with pain due to OA of the hip or knee - Evaluate the safety and tolerability of fasinumab compared to placebo in participants with pain due to OA of the hip or knee - Characterize the concentrations of fasinumab in serum in participants with pain due to OA of the hip or knee - Evaluate the immunogenicity of fasinumab in participants with pain due to OA of the hip or knee.
This is a multicenter, randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled, parallel group, 4-week trial of a formulation of AMZ001 once or twice daily versus placebo twice daily, including a single-blind treatment group with a commercial gel four times daily.
This study is a randomized, double-blind clinical trial in a Chinese population.
This study investigates the effects of unloader knee brace, biomechanical footwear device and exercise therapy on pain, physical function and quality of life in patients with knee osteoarthritis. The aim is to find more effective treatment strategies to delay or prevent heavy knee replacement surgeries.
The knee osteoarthritis becoming a leading cause of disability among older adults' population. When conventional treatments fail, a total knee arthroplasty (TKA) is suggested. Although TKA treatment significantly reduces pain and improve mobility of patients, there is still high prevalence of patients whose neuromuscular function is impaired up to three years following TKA, which can be directly prescribed to poor or/and inadequate rehabilitation practice. Thus, motor imagery (MI) is proposed as additional rehabilitation tool to convention physical therapy to reduce decline of neuromuscular function in early days post-surgery. Recent studies showed that MI could facilitate learning and acquisition of motor skills, as well as maintain and retain previously acquired motor skills, which may be beneficial for those who undergo TKA. It represents an incentive in the process of motor learning and the transfer of the mental scheme of the motion pattern into the process of movement execution. Measuring neuromuscular function pre- and post-TKA could be unique opportunity to provide empirical evidence about its additional therapeutic effects. Outcomes of proposed research project could serve to improve existing intervention programs applied in rehabilitation protocols following TKA surgery as well as other orthopedic interventions. This would also contribute to the successful return of individuals after an injury to their everyday working routine. We hypothesized that MI practice group will experience better both subjective and objective measures of functional performance compared to control group that will be subjected to routine physical therapy only.
Abstract Objective: To compare effect of PNF therapy with manual therapy on pain, associated symptoms, range of motion and functioning in patients with cervical spine osteoarthritis. Design: Parallel group, single-center, double-blinded randomized controlled trial. Setting: Outpatient clinic in hospital KCRiO. Subject: Eligible patients were female adults with chronic pain of cervical spine due to osteoarthritis of vertebral body and intervertebral disc confirmed by X-ray. Interventions: Group I (PNF group) was treated according to PNF concept, while Group II according to manual therapy (manual therapy group). Both groups received 10 days of treatment, 45 minutes each day. Main measures: Primary outcomes measures were Oswestry scale and range of motion (ROM). Secondary outcomes measures were subjective evaluation of cervical pain according to VAS scale and associated symptoms (headache, vertigo, ROM of shoulder joints, balance). For each scale results were measured at baseline, after two weeks of intervention and after a three-month follow-up period without therapy. Keywords: neck pain, PNF, manual therapy
The Zimmer Hip Resurfacing System Post-Market Clinical Follow-up study will examine the safety and efficacy of this device in the young and/or active patient with advanced hip disease.
Knee osteoarthritis is an important cause of functional disabilities at old age. Previous research has demonstrated that individuals with knee osteoarthritis have reduced knee-extensor strength in comparison to healthy individuals. However, rapid power production declines more than strength as a consequence of ageing and is more predictive of functional capacity. However, limited research has investigated whether individuals with knee osteoarthritis have reduced ability to develop strength and power rapidly on top of reduced maximal strength capacities, which is the primary aim of the current study.
