Filter by:the aim of this study is to compare the effects of intermittent compression decompression with glides with conventional physical therapy in patients having knee osteoarthritis. there are three groups in which patient will be allocated randomly. group A will receive treatment technique intermittent compression decompression with glides only while group B will be treated with conventional physical therapy protocol whereas group c patients will receive combination of intermittent compression decompression with glides along with conventional physical therapy protocol. Pre and post treatment data will be collected by using questionnaires WOMAC and KOOS. treatment will be given 3 times a week for 4 weeks.
This study aims to assess whether Elongation Longitudinaux Avec Decoaption Osteo Articulaire versus post assistance extending strategy have effects on knee torment. and to check its impact on actual capacity.
This study aims to determine the influence of core instability exercises in comparison to proprioceptive training in relieving pain, improving balance and physical function in general population of knee Osteoarthritis. The objective is to achieve beneficial results of interventions which can be used in betterment of treatment plan.
With high NNTs for indiscriminative use in chronic pain, treatment unavoidably entails frustrating long trial and errors. It is timely to identify biomarkers that can predict analgesic efficacy for the individual patient. The investigators propose a framework of interrelations between patient's pain modulation profile (PMP) and the drug's mode of action (MOA) based on two principles: (1) 'fix the dysfunction', relevant for drugs whose main mode of action is to modulate central pain processing; the more the dysfunctional the better the modulating drug efficacy. For example, patients with pro-nociceptive PMP due to reduced endogenous pain inhibition, as expressed by less efficient CPM will benefit from drugs that fix this dysfunction such as SNRIs, relative to patients whose pain inhibitory capacity is well functioning. Thus, for the modulating drugs, pro-nociceptivity predicts better efficacy. (2) 'bear with the dysfunction', relevant for drugs which are mostly non-modulating, acting mainly in the periphery; the more dysfunctionalת the less the non-modulating drug efficacy. This is since efficacy is limited by the dysfunctional modulation system, despite the drug's MOA-like reduction of peripheral pain mediators. Thus, for the non-modulating drugs, for example NSAIDs, pro-nociceptivity predicts less good efficacy. The likely protocol suggests that patients with anti-nociceptive PMP should be treated primarily by non-modulating drugs, while pro-nociceptive ones should be given modulating drugs. EEG is an additional source of relevant data on brain pain processing. Being objective and stable along time, EEG based parameters are, thus, very attractive candidates to be useful biomarkers for prediction of analgesia efficacy. This study will focus on the patients with painful knee osteoarthritis. The aims of this study are: 1. To identify psychophysical and neurophysiological biomarkers that can serve as predictors of response to analgesic pain modulating and non-pain modulating drugs. 2. To establish a conceptual framework of individualized pain therapy based on inter-relations between patient's parameters of pain modulation and drugs' mode of action.
To assess the benefits of using semiconductor (germanium and carbon) woven knee sleeves products in patients with osteoarthritis of the knee. To compare patients in a blinded randomized trial with and without the semiconductor knee sleeves product during the first 3 months period after initial contact at the outpatient clinic. Aims: The hypothesis of the study is that the semiconductor sleeve will reduce pain and improve knee function in active group when compared to the placebo group.
In this study, patients scheduled to undergo total knee arthroplasty (TKA) will be screened through a survey for patients with central sensitivity and patients with neuropathic pain as preoperative evaluation. It is designed to evaluate the effectiveness of pregabalin with the decision to prescribe duloxetine by dividing patient groups according to central sensitization and neuropathic pain.
The purpose of this study is to compare Sustained Acoustic Medicine treatment to topical pain relief gel for the symptomatic management of knee osteoarthritis. The study will measure pain and function scores for patients undergoing treatment.
Prosthetic joint infection (PJI) is a devastating complication following arthroplasty. An utmost effort has been done to clarify risk factors and microbiology of PJI. We now know the most frequent infecting microorganisms are members of the skin microbiome. These microorganisms are thought to get into the joint and infect the prosthesis during the peri-operative and/or post-operative period. Nevertheless, recent studies have suggested, bacteria may be present in the joint even before the first incision, suggesting the existence of a joint microbiome. Therefore, we aimed to determine the bacterial composition from different knee conditions.
The study is a single-center, retrospective and prospective, non-randomized, non-controlled and consecutive series post-market study. The purpose of this study is to confirm safety, performance and clinical benefits of the NexGen TM Augmentation Patella. The primary objective is the assessment of safety by analyzing implant survivorship. This will be established by recording the incidence and frequency of revisions, complications and adverse events. Relation of the events to implant, instrumentation and/or procedure should be specified. The secondary objective is the assessment of performance and clinical benefits by recording patient-reported clinical outcome measures (PROMs) as well as radiographic outcomes.
The purpose of this open, prospective and multi center trial is to evaluate the use of a treated, devitalized and sterile meniscus implant placed in joint interposition in the treatment of STT osteoarthritis.
