Filter by:The objective of this study is to validate a new technique for intraoperative quantification of the patello-femoral joint kinematics in patients undergoing total knee replacement, and for postoperative quantification of implanted knee and general lower limb activity, along with relevant muscle dynamics.
This study will help us decide the best way to image the knee for diagnostic purposes: Knee computed tomography vs knee x-ray. The computed tomography will provide a weight bearing 3D view.
Prospective observational (non-interventional) cohort study, multi-centric in 5 study Centers in Japan to collect short term clinical and radiological results of the cementless Bicontact® E stem in a standard patient population used in routine clinical practice
Background and Purpose: The purpose of the study is to test the efficacy of an audio-visual stimulation program for sleep promotion in adults with chronic pain. The hypothesis is that hyper-arousal plays an important role in insomnia. Brainwave entrainment from 8 to 1 Hz reduces arousal, and thereby improves sleep. Improved sleep may change how people perceive pain. Methods: Using a double-blind, randomized controlled trial design, we plan to enroll 30 adults (21-65 years old) experiencing both nonmalignant pain and insomnia. Exclusion criteria include: seizure disorder, sleep disorder, and night shift workers. After a one-week baseline measure, participants will be randomized to intervention or placebo group. Participants in both groups will be asked to self-administer the audio-visual stimulation program every night at bedtime for one month. Upon completion, post intervention measures will be collected.
Hip and knee osteoarthritis is one of the leading causes of global disability. There is no cure for the disease, but research and guidelines recommends that patients with osteoarthritis, early after the diagnosis, receive individually adapted physical exercises, information about their disease and about self-management and, if needed, recommendations on weight loss as a core treatment to prevent disability and impairment in health. This core treatment improves symptoms in osteoarthritis by reducing pain and increasing function, and have the potential to delay replacement surgery. In Sweden, core treatment has since 2008, been standardized in a supported self-management programme and evaluation and follow-ups are registered in the National Quality Register BOA (Better management of patients with OsteoArthritis). The course of deterioration in pain and physical functioning among different individuals with osteoarthritis is currently difficult to predict. Factors such as socioeconomic status and comorbidity contribute to progression of the disease, but are not fully established. There is a need for early identification of individuals who have a good prognosis with slow disease development and those that should be recommended joint replacement surgery in the future. Overriding aim of the study is to increase knowledge about the population who has received education and supervised exercises as a core treatment for hip and knee osteoarthritis and been registered in the BOA Register and to identify factors that can predict long-term outcome for this population.
Comparison of two unicompartmental knee arthroplasties (UKA), to see if Sigma UKA performs equally good as the Oxford UKA. The study focuses on how well the arthroplasty is fixated to the bone and on the difference in wear of the plastic insert. Finally, the functional outcome after surgery is compared between the two arthroplasties. Hypothesis: H1: The Sigma UKA has an equal migration pattern compared to the Oxford UKA with a follow up of two years - that is, no significant difference in migration between 1-2 years follow-up. H2: The Oxford and Sigma UKA's have comparable polyethylene wear with a follow up of 5 years. H3: The Oxford and Sigma UKA's have comparable patient perceived outcome measures (PROM) and leg extension power (LEP) postoperative. H4: BMD of the proximal tibia does not influence migration of the tibial component
The objectives of this study are to demonstrate the non-inferiority of esflurbiprofen plaster (SFPP) 40 mg applied for 2 weeks to diclofenac gel, the comparator, in terms of efficacy in patients with knee osteoarthritis (OA) and to examine the safety of SFPP.
The purpose of this study is to assess whether there is a difference between the TomoFix and Ellipse Intramedullary HTO Nail System in terms of bone regeneration in the tibial wedge by performing a CT-scan at 3 and 6-months postoperatively.
The rhizarthrosis, or the degenerative osteoarthritis of the trapezo-metacarpal joint, is a frequent degenerative osteoarthritis. The treatment associates not pharmacological measures, such as resting relative of the joint, the orthosis of rest, glazing and pharmacological measures such analgesic, anti-inflammatory not steroidal per bones or premises, even infiltrations cortisone or by hyaluronic acid. No study has, for the moment, tested the interest of the combination of cortisone and hyaluronic acid in rhizarthrosis. In view of the current publications, we propose to carry out a study on two arms, with corticosteroids in reference arm; the experimental arm is the combination of hyaluronic acid and cortisone.
This is a phase 3, randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled, single injection, 52-week study to evaluate the analgesic efficacy and safety of a single intra-articular (IA) CNTX-4975-05 (capsaicin), compared to IA placebo, in subjects with chronic, moderate-to-severe osteoarthritis (OA) knee pain.
