Filter by:The study is randomized and single-blinded. Ethical approval is taken from ethical committee of Riphah Internatinal University, Lahore. Participants who meet the inclusion criteria will be enrolled and allocated in group A & B through random number generator by Non-probability Convenient random sampling technique. Subjects in Group A will receive plyometric training. Group B will receive general training.
Patients previously included in the DEX-2-TKA-trial (ethics committee ID SJ-695; ClinicalTrials.gov: NCT03506789) at Næstved Hospital will be invited for a follow up study consisting of questionnaires and a visit with a physical therapist. The study includes the following validated questionnaires: EQ-5D-5L, Oxford Knee Score and PainDetect, and information on height, weight, daily pain-medication and co-morbidities. With the physical therapist, the patient will perform the following functional tests: knee range of motion, timed-up-to-go, 30 second chair stand test, 40m fast paced walk test, stair climb test and a measure of the thigh force.
This study endeavored to evaluate the auxiliary effect of low-energy laser therapy (LLT) on pain, muscle performance, fatigue, and functional ability in children with juvenile idiopathic arthritis (JIA). Sixty patients with JIA were randomly allocated to the LLT group (n = 30, received LLT in addition to the standard exercise program) or the control group (n = 30, received standard exercise program only). Both groups were assessed for pain intensity, muscle performance, fatigue perception, and functional status.
This case-control study in patients with knee osteoarthritis and pain-free control individuals aims to develop a brain biomarker of endogenous analgesia that may be used in subsequent clinical trials. Deficits in central nervous system (CNS) pain inhibition may contribute to chronic pain intensity, but quantitative sensory testing (QST) methods are limited. Incorporating brain imaging to assessments of CNS pain inhibition, by examining activity in relevant brain networks, would allow for an objective, physiologic measure of CNS pain inhibition. Preliminary data in pain-free volunteers implicate cortical activity measured with functional near-infrared spectroscopy (fNIRS) during CNS pain inhibition. Broadly, the investigators hypothesize that variability in CNS pain inhibition contributes to variability in clinical pain intensity.
Decathlon has developed kneeSOFT100 product which is medical device designed to reduce pain and joint instability during sport practice. The objective of this multicentre study is to collect data on the related clinical complications and clinical outcomes of market-approved Decathlon kneeSOFT100 product to demonstrate safety and performance of this device in a real-world setting.
This is a prospective, multi-center, randomized, study in which 300 evaluable subjects will be randomized 1:1 to receive active or delayed therapy with Moments PNS. Subjects in the Delayed group will start with therapy at 3-month visit follow up. The primary endpoint is a >50% pain relief at 3-months as measured by the Visual Analog Scale (VAS) without increase in baseline pain medications, with additional measurements assessed at 3, 6, 9, 12, 24, and 36-months.
This prospective observational study seeks to compare pain relief and disability following cooled radiofrequency ablation (Coolief) versus conventional genicular nerve ablation in patients with chronic knee pain. Patients' NRS for pain, WOMAC, and ODI score at baseline and 1, 3 and 6 months after treatment will be used to evaluate whether Coolief is more effective at reducing disability and improving pain relief.
Management of chronic knee pain remains a challenge to the treating physician. A radiofrequency treatment of the genicular nerves is a not yet established but promising technique. This procedure is minimal invasive and has few adverse events. For these reasons it can be advantageous and fulfilling the unmet needs of these chronic knee pain patients warranting further research of its efficacy. To investigate this efficacy, all patients treated with radiofrequency ablation in the multidisciplinary chronic pain center between 1 September 2017 and 31 December 2019 with exclusion of patients with chronic widespread pain, will be retrospectively analyzed in a single-center cohort.
Chronic knee osteoarthritis (OA) is one of the most common diseases with increasing prevalence in advanced age. Knee OA results in movement restriction, sleep disturbance, and disability. Total knee arthroplasty (TKA) is employed often in the symptomatic treatment of knee OA. It has been estimated that 3.4 million TKAs will be performed in the year 2030 in the United States alone. Many studies report rewarding outcomes for patients, but other research shows there are many patients that remain dissatisfied post-arthroplasty. The purpose of this study is to evaluate whether genicular radiofrequency ablation can relieve chronic post-arthroplasty knee pain.
JointADventure: A worksite activity-diet intervention for chronic knee pain is a randomized controlled trial evaluation of a physical activity and nutritional worksite intervention to decrease symptoms and disability associated with knee osteoarthritis (OA), a major public health problem and a leading cause of work disability and work absenteeism/presenteeism in the US workforce. The overarching goal of this project is to find an effective and sustainable intervention strategy that can assist large populations of persons with or at risk for knee OA to attain and maintain healthy dietary and physical activity behaviors. This project has to potential to have a tremendous impact on improving symptoms and quality of life of persons with chronic knee pain and decreasing the functional limitation, work absenteeism/presenteeism, and soaring healthcare utilization associated with knee OA.
