Filter by:This is a randomised, double-blind, placebo controlled, 2 arm parallel clinical trial to evaluate the effect of topical PlexoZome® Levagen® spray on relief of post exercise knee joint pain in healthy adults compared to placebo over 4 weeks duration.
Joint pain is reported by about 1/3 of U.S. adults, and increases with age reaching 50% prevalence among the elderly [1]. Joint pain is associated with substantial activity limitation, work disability, sleep disturbance, negative mood (e.g., depression, anxiety, stress), and reduced quality of life (2, 3). Conventional treatment of joint pain with non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs) and other analgesics is associated with gastrointestinal and cardiovascular side effects, and other adverse health effects [4]. Use of alternative supplements is reported by about 50% of people with knee osteoarthritis, and well-designed human trials are needed to identify effective analgesic alternatives [5]. The most widely used and studied joint pain supplements include those related to chondroprotection such as glucosamine, chondroitin, collagen hydrolysates, and hyaluronic acid [6-9]. Further research is needed examining the effects of other herbal supplementation on joint pain and overall health. Preliminary research reveals Q-ActinTM supplementation may be an effective intervention to reduce OA-related pain compared with standard treatments. Q-ActinTM is a cucumber extract with the anti-inflammatory iminosugar idoBR1 standardised to over 1%. Study Purpose To conduct a 8 week randomized double-blind placebo-controlled trial to examine the effectiveness of daily use of Q-ActinTM supplementation compared to placebo on joint pain, stiffness, function, mood, sleep, daytime activity, and health-related quality of life in adults with a history (>3 months) of mild to moderate joint pain.
This is a pilot study examining the safety and efficacy of a single intra-articular (IA) injection of TTAX03 per joint to relieve severe spinal facet joint (FJ) pain and improve function in subjects with facet joint pain (FJP) in the lumbosacral region. The design is randomized, double blinded, placebo controlled and dose-group sequential.
The purpose of this RCT is to investigate whether high tibial osteotomy using 3D printed patient specific guides aiming at 55% correction is non-inferior to aiming at 62%.
Despite the high popularity and novelty of shock wave therapy (SWT), it is surprising that just one study has examined the effect of SWT on patients with SIJD and their functional ability following treatment by using subjective assessment tools like numeric rating scale (NRS) and limited by its small sample size and lack of long-term follow-up. Therefore, the present study is expected to contribute to the body of knowledge by exploring the effect of adding SWT to core stability exercises in the management of postpartum sacroiliac joint pain.
Both Tart Cherry and Omega 3 FAs have better side effect profiles compared to other commonly used medications for AIMSS, such as nonsteroidal anti-inflammatories, steroids, and serotonin norepinephrine reuptake inhibitors. Additionally, in our clinics the investigators often find that patients tend to be more receptive to taking a supplement as opposed to an additional medication. Further, both Tart Cherry concentrate and fish oil have beneficial properties for helping with joint stiffness in general, in addition to other health issues like insomnia. There is some evidence in mouse models that when given together, these supplements may have an even greater anti-inflammatory effect than when taken separately. Although to our knowledge, no human studies have tested this hypothesis. This study has been designed to test the hypothesis that Tart Cherry and fish oil when given in combination over a 12-week period could produce beneficial changes in arthritis symptoms when compared to a control group in an obese breast cancer population experience AIMSS and on an AI. Secondary outcomes to be assessed include pain, functional performance, quality of life and cognition.
This study will contribute to the current literature that have compared joint injections with steroid versus ketorolac providing evidence for the use of ketorolac for SI joint pain. Currently steroid is the clinical standard for joint injections, however with repetitive use, steroid injections can damage the joint. Ketorolac is an alternative anti-inflammatory medication that does not cause the same joint damage and at a cheaper cost than steroid. The investigators hypothesize that ultrasound guided SI joint injections utilizing ketorolac provide the same pain relief as corticosteroid SI joint injections measured at 2, 6 and 12 weeks post injection. This would allow more frequent injections to control pain at a decreased cost to the healthcare system.
Many people develop joint pain, stiffness and swelling due to their cancer treatment that targets the immune system. The severity of symptoms ranges from mild to debilitating and sometimes requires delaying or stopping cancer treatment. The usual plan is to discontinue cancer treatment and give relatively high doses of a medication called prednisone (a steroid, which is an anti-inflammatory medication which may suppress the immune system), with a gradual lowering of the dose over several weeks. While this can be effective, prednisone can cause several side effects, and it is not known if this is the best or safest treatment. Hydroxychloroquine is a medication being studied on IMPACT 2.0 on participants who develop inflammatory joint pain while taking cancer treatments that affect their immune system. It is possible that the hydroxychloroquine treatment may not work well on some participants on IMPACT 2.0. Hydroxychloroquine is also given as standard of care to participants with this type of inflammatory joint pain. The goal of this study is to learn how well methotrexate is at treating inflammatory joint pain in participants from IMPACT 2.0 that don't do well on treatment with hydroxychloroquine and in patients given hydroxychloroquine as standard of care to treat this type of inflammatory joint pain caused by taking cancer treatments which target their immune system.
Radiofrequency ablation of the medial nerve is the current surgical treatment for back pain originating from the facet joints in the spine. However, this procedure causes denervation of spinal muscles. Peripheral nerve stimulation is another treatment for facet joint pain that may not cause damage to the spinal muscles. This study will compare both treatments in terms pain relief and spine biomechanics.
Our proposal objective is to evaluate if state-regulated topical CBD-based products relieve chronic musculoskeletal pain and/or absorb into the bloodstream.
