Filter by:This phase I trial studies how well curcumin works in reducing joint pain in patients who are breast cancer survivors and have joint disease caused by treatment with aromatase inhibitors. Curcumin is an ingredient of turmeric, a plant in the ginger family, which is commonly used in curries and South Asian and Middle Eastern cooking, and may decrease joint pain in patients with arthritis from other conditions (such as osteoarthritis and rheumatoid arthritis).
Patients who undergo foot and ankle surgery are often made weight-bearing as tolerated (WBAT) in a controlled ankle movement (CAM) boot during their recovery and rehabilitation process. However, some patients may experience pain and discomfort while wearing the CAM boot. A possible cause for this pain is that the boot elevates the injured foot higher than the other foot in the normal shoe. This uneven walking plane can lead to an abnormal gait or walking pattern, and may potentially lead to pain. Our goal is the investigate if using a leg-length-evening orthotic can improve balance and/or decrease the development of pain in the legs and spine for patients who are WBAT in a CAM boot.
This study is in response to the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) call to all manufacturers with 510(k) clearance for metal-on-metal (MoM) total hip arthroplasty (THA) devices to conduct postmarket surveillance studies. MicroPort has various acetabular shells, acetabular liners, fixation screws, femoral heads, femoral stems, modular necks, and proximal bodies currently cleared for MoM indications. Together these components comprise the Wright Medical Technology (WMT) MoM THA System. The primary objective of the study is to determine the incidence of adverse local tissue reactions (ALTR) in each THA implanted with the WMT MoM THA System overall and to create cross-sectional epochs of ≤ 8 years and > 8 years, since implantation.
Purpose: to examine the possibility of using the onco-protein survivin as a predictive biomarker for identifying individuals at risk of developing rheumatoid arthritis within a cohort of patients seeking treatment for joint pain/stiffness. Secondly, to study survivin as a prognostic marker for joint destruction, refractory and highly active disease in patients with established RA.
This study is designed to evaluate the effectiveness of a proprietary nutritional supplement that contains Krill Oil (KO), astaxanthin (AX) and hyaluronic acid (HA) to reduce pain and discomfort in participants, compared to an inert placebo (palm oil) control and to a positive control (glucosamine-chondroitin). The purpose of the study is to determine if the combination of KO, AX, and HA will benefit participants with joint pain.
This is a phase IV, open-label and single-arm study of patients with non-malignant pain due to osteoarthritis, rheumatoid arthritis, low back pain and joint/muscle pain, who were not responding to non-opioid analgesics. The primary objective was to assess the efficacy of buprenorphine transdermal patch for pain control among these patients.
Bone and muscle losses occur during ageing leading to increased risk of osteoporosis (there are more than 200 million people affected by osteoporosis worldwide), sarcopenia, loss of functionality and mobility. From around 45-50 years onwards, there is a progressive loss of muscle mass and strength (sarcopenia). This is partially due to an impairment of muscle protein synthesis in response to dietary proteins. Insufficient dietary protein may contribute to age-related loss of lean body mass (LBM) and strength which ultimately affects body movement. Key ingredients in selected investigational product are:Milk proteins, Calcium, Vitamin D, Vitamin C, Glucosamine Sulfate, Zinc. They have effects to improve physical mobility and functionality. The investigators expect improved effects of a nutritional intervention combined with a physical activity program on mobility in healthy aging subjects with joint discomfort.
The study is designed to investigate the effect of physical surroundings on the effect of exercise therapy for knee and hip pain.
The purpose of this study is to assess the efficacy of the buprenorphine transdermal patch (Norspan® or Sovenor® transdermal patch) in patients with chronic non-malignant pain of moderate to severe intensity due to osteoarthritis, rheumatoid arthritis, lower back pain and joint/muscle pain, who are not adequately responding to non-opioid painkillers.
For post-menopausal women diagnosed with hormone-receptor positive breast cancer tumors, aromatase inhibitors (AIs) are the standard adjuvant hormone treatment to prolong disease-free survival and time-to-recurrence. Unfortunately, joint pain/stiffness/achiness (arthralgia) is a common side-effect of AIs. This "proof-of-concept" study explores how an evidence-based physical activity (PA) program- the Arthritis Foundation's Walk with Ease (WWE) program- can be adapted for breast cancer survivors on AI therapy to: 1) Help them maintain or achieve recommended levels of PA, 2) reduce their joint pain/stiffness/achiness, and 3) thereby enable them to remain on AI therapy as prescribed.
