Filter by:Introduction: Musculoskeletal disorders have affected approximately 1.3 billion people worldwide. Evidence shows that chronic diseases and musculoskeletal conditions often occur together, and among them it is estimated that more than 240 million people worldwide have symptomatic osteoarthritis (OA) and activity limitation, which is a major contributor to chronic pain and changes central in pain processing. It is known that physical exercise (active approach to treatment) and manual therapy (passive approach) are capable of intervening in the pain processing system, but passive approaches have been little investigated. Among them, little is known about the effect of ischemic preconditioning (IPC) for pain management and its impact on conditioned pain modulation (CPM) and cardiac autonomic control. There is no evidence that IPC causes systemic hypoalgesia and increased vagal modulation, so this provides a rationale for study. Objectives: To analyze the acute effect of IPC on local pain, CPM and cardiac autonomic control in women with knee OA and observe whether there is a correlation between them. Methods: Double-blind, placebo-controlled, randomized clinical trial. Participants will be divided into IPC or placebo groups. Outcomes evaluated: CPM and cardiac autonomic modulation. Comparisons will be performed using Generalized Mixed Linear Models fitted to the data. For correlation, the Pearson or Spearman correlation test will be used according to the normality of the data. All analyzes will assume a significance level of p<0.05.
This is a prospective, long-term, observational, all-comers, open-label, multi-centre clinical investigation enrolling subjects with knee osteoarthritis who is eligible for treatment with Arthrosamid® according to the Instruction for Use.
This is a randomized, single-blind, parallel, active-controlled study to evaluate the efficacy and safety of bone marrow mesenchymal stem cells (BM-MSCs), Chondrochymal®, in subjects aged 40 to 80 with knee OA.
The aim of this pilot study is to analyze the effect of SVF injection produced by adipose tissue processing, in terms of clinical improvement, in patients with moderate to severe (stage 1-3) ankle osteoarthritis. Evaluation will be performed by administering pre-operative and post-operative clinical assessment questionnaires. Patients will be followed-up with a pre-operative evaluation and post-operative evaluations at 30 days, 3-6-12, and 24 months after application.
This is a Post-Market Surveillance study of AMIStem-P femoral stem prosthesis
To assess if there are any differences among platelet-rich plasma, hyaluronic acid, and corticosteroid knee intra-articular injection regarding function and pain.
Osteoarthritis is the most common musculoskeletal disease and is characterized by cartilage destruction, osteophyte formation, subchondral bone sclerosis and cysts. Modern treatment strategies, as well as preventive measures, include early detection and knowledge of the early course of the disease. This includes how stress patterns, physical activity, impaired function and metabolic changes and other comorbidities affect development and possible associations with osteoarthritis. The overall objective was to study the early development of osteoarthritis of the knee and its association with hand- and general osteoarthritis, metabolic diseases, biomarkers, long-term pain, physical function and stress patterns
In this pilot study, we will test the hypothesis that a POPOP for currently ineligible UAMS orthopedic surgery patients wanting hip or knee replacement improves markers of preoperative health, ability to reach a BMI threshold <40 kg/m2 required for surgical eligibility, and postoperative outcomes versus SOC.
This study evaluates the efficacy and safety of a single IA injection of various RTX doses, Zilretta or placebo for the treatment of pain due to moderate to severe osteoarthritis knee pain..
: Falls are the primary cause of injury and a leading cause of disability and mortality among older adults. Risk factors for falling are common among older adults with knee osteoarthritis (OA) - a highly prevalent condition. Physical exercise is consistently the most efficacious intervention for preventing falls in older adults. However, access to these programs is severely limited in rural settings. Considering that rural communities have a higher disease burden and higher proportion of older adults than non-rural areas, there is a critical need to (1) adapt evidence-based exercise programs for remote delivery to increase access for rural older adults and (2) develop pathways to implement exercise programs in rural health care systems that consistently reach and engage patients with knee OA. Accordingly, the proposed project aims to refine a protocol for remote delivery of Enhance Fitness (EF). EF is an evidence-based, group exercise program involving strength, endurance, and balance training that is recommended for falls prevention and OA management
