Filter by:The objective of this study is to evaluate the safety and effectiveness of the Insignia™ Hip Stem for global market access and post-market clinical follow-up up to 10 years postoperative.
The purpose of this study is to compare the efficacy of Intra-articular corticosteroid injection between Betamethasone (Diprospan) and Triamcinolone acetonide for treatment of knee osteoarthritis
The purpose of the study is to compare magnitude of postsurgical analgesic effect in different groups following a single dose of study drug when administered via adductor canal block in subjects undergoing primary unilateral total knee arthroplasty.
Over 30 million Americans are currently affected by osteoarthritis (OA), with prevalence expected to increase 40% by 2025 as a result of the aging population and obesity epidemic. Specifically, symptomatic knee OA is a leading cause of disability. Although originally classified as non-inflammatory arthritis, recent studies suggest that a relationship exists between joint inflammation and OA. Specifically, the complex interaction between sites of local tissue damage and immune cells leads to a state of chronic joint inflammation which may play a key role in disease pathogenesis. The evidence suggesting a role of inflammation in disease progression makes anti-inflammatory agents ideal candidates for symptom management. Astaxanthin, a keto-carotenoid present in many aquatic animals, including salmon, shrimp, and lobster, is an FDA-approved nutraceutical that has powerful antioxidant and anti-inflammatory properties coupled with remarkable safety and tolerability. This prospective, blinded, randomized, placebo-controlled pilot study will evaluate the effect of astaxanthin in reducing inflammation, controlling pain, and improving physical function in patients with advanced knee osteoarthritis awaiting total joint replacement surgery. Levels of pro- and anti-inflammatory cytokines and chemokines will be measured following the completion of a daily oral regimen of astaxanthin vs. placebo. Additionally, patient-reported outcome measurements assessing physical function and pain interference will be obtained prior to and following completion of treatment allowing for a comparison between treatment groups. Study outcomes will provide evidence to support astaxanthin supplementation as a cost-effective, added strategy for symptom management in patients with advanced osteoarthritis.
Knee osteoarthritis has a very high prevalence in the population over 50 years of age. Patients with osteoarthritis often suffer from chronic pain that becomes disabling, affecting both quality of life and mental and physical health. This pathology has also been linked to maladaptive plasticity in the brain, which can contribute to chronic pain. Therapies with neuromodulatory approaches, such as transcranial direct current stimulation (tDCS) and peripheral electrical stimulation (TENS), have been used therapeutically to counteract the maladaptive plasticity of the brain. Transcranial therapy and TENS can be a possible effective treatment in the rehabilitation services of the health system for the improvement of chronic pain and quality of life in different pathologies, such as chronic low back pain, fibromyalgia or knee and hip osteoarthritis.
This trial is a randomized feasibility trial to determine the feasibility of comparing two different shoe inserts and on pain, quality of life and physical activity associated with hip osteoarthritis.
The purpose of this randomized controlled study is to evaluate the effect of postoperative exercise with a "peanut ball" after total knee replacement, on pain, intake of pain killers, knee function, and health-related quality of life.
The most common cause of hip joint dysfunction in the elderly is degenerative osteoarthritis of the hip. Innervation of the hip joint capsule is provided by the obturator nerve, the accessory obturator nerve, and the femoral nerve. With pericapsular nerve group block (PENG), by blocking the femoral nerve and the accessory obturator nerve, analgesia is successfully provided for the hip joint. Intra-articular injection of corticosteroids; It is used as an alternative to surgical interventions because it reduces inflammation and short-term pain and is a minimally invasive method. The investigators aim to compare and report patients who underwent ultrasound-guided intra-articular steroid injection and PENG block in terms of post-procedural pain scores and patient satisfaction.
1. / evaluation of the fear of falling using an FES-I questionnaire, distribution of subjects according to the score into 3 groups (16-19: little concerned by the fear of falling, 20-27 moderately concerned, 28-64 very concerned by fear of falling) 2. / evaluation of lumbar articular mobility by the schober index, coxofemoral by hip goniometry in flexion and extension (no evaluation of other amplitudes because lack of abduction / abduction / external and internal rotation of the hip remain functional in walking and the balance)
A cohort study will be used to collect patient data, analyze the clinical characteristics, traditional Chinese medicine (TCM) syndromes, and treatment of knee osteoarthritis (KOA) in China to accumulate clinical data and clarify the status of KOA in the real world background. It will lay a clinical foundation for further study of KOA in the future, and bring certain clinical value for Chinese patients with KOA.
