Filter by:The aim of this clinical trial study is to compare the efficacy of Hyaluronic injection in patients with symptomatic knee osteoarthritis. The main questions it aims to answer are: - Is Hyaluronic acid injection improve pain symptom, joint stiffness, and joint function in patients with knee osteoarthritis - Is Hyaluronic acid injection improve knee performance status and health-related quality of life in patients with knee osteoarthritis Participants will be allocated to receive one treatments; either Hyaluronic acid or normal saline injections after receiving glucocorticoid injection. Researchers will compare the Hyaluronic acid with normal saline injection to see if the former show superior effect in terms of pain, joint stiffness, function, as well as health-related quality of life comparing with placebo.
The aim of the study is to investigate the effects of superimposed neuromuscular electrical stimulation with active contraction on physical function, muscle and joint structure, functionality, and quality of life in patients with knee osteoarthritis.
One of the main challenges facing the therapist in the treatment of adhesive capsulitis is to motivate the patient throughout conventional therapy. As noted in a recent review, individuals are more interested in leisure activities rather than performing repetitive tasks during therapy. Virtual reality (VR) is a three-dimensional computer-aided programme built with a system that creates virtual reality movements and generates a high amount of visual and sensory feedback during exercise. As a result, virtual reality (VR) has been used in many medical indications and has been shown to promote adherence to treatment by increasing patient motivation.
The goal of this clinical trial is to compare postoperative pain score between perioperative intravenous ketamine and placebo in patients undergoing unilateral total knee arthroplasty under general anesthesia. The main question[s] it aims to answer are: - Can perioperative intravenous ketamine reduce postoperative pain score during rest and movement at 0, 2, 4, 8, 12, 18, 24 hours better than no administration of Ketamine in patients undergoing Unilateral total knee arthroplasty under general anesthesia? - Can perioperative intravenous ketamine reduce morphine consumption in postoperative 24 hours, length of hospital stay, first time to receive opioid and side effect or complication from ketamine and opioid better than no administration of Ketamine in patients undergoing Unilateral total knee arthroplasty under general anesthesia? Participants will receive intravenous ketamine intraoperative TKA and comparison group will receive placebo that is normal saline. Researchers will compare perioperative intravenous ketamine and placebo to see postoperative pain score, morphine consumption in postoperative 24 hours, length of hospital stay, first time to receive opioid and side effect or complication from ketamine and opioid.
This is a prospective, randomized controlled trial using the cruciate retaining, MC Persona to comparing the conventional TKA to ROSA assisted TKA. Patients will be randomized to one of three study trial arms. 1. Standard of care medial parapetallar approach (Control) 2. ROSA PSA medial parapetallar approach 3. ROSA PSA medial subvastus approach Participants will be followed for 1 year post surgery with a combination of perioperative parameters, imaging, patient reported outcomes, functional outcomes, blood and tissue sampling for inflammatory information and activity levels.
There are different neurolysis methods. Aim of this study is to compare two different methods, phenol block and corticosteroid local anesthetic block.
Osteotomies are among the oldest orthopedic treatments, in use for over 2000 years and still commonly employed. The basic principle involves making a bone cut to allow the realignment of the limb segment affected by deformity. Today, new knowledge and technologies, understanding of bone healing mechanisms, and the introduction of new fixation methods have made osteotomies one of the preferred treatments for early knee arthritis. They serve as an alternative to joint prosthesis implantation in young patients with medium to high functional demand. Medial knee osteoarthritis is a pathology increasingly prevalent in today's population. The resulting varus deformity leads to a shift in the load axis on the medial tibial plateau. Osteotomy in this context becomes a therapeutic tool capable of restoring the correct mechanical axis of the lower limb and delaying or avoiding the progression of arthritis, thus avoiding the need for joint replacement. The two most commonly used techniques are the Closing Wedge Lateral High Tibial Osteotomy (LCW-HTO) and the Opening Wedge Medial High Tibial Osteotomy (MOW-HTO), which are high tibial osteotomies in closure with a wedge removal and in opening with a wedge insertion, respectively. The medium to long-term effects of this procedure, in terms of survival and modification of the tibial slope, have been extensively studied, as evidenced by the extensive literature on the subject. However, the effect of this intervention, in its two variants, on the progression of femoro-patellar arthritis and the height of the patella remains poorly investigated to date.
Shoe-worn insoles (also known as orthotics) can provide symptomatic relief for people with knee osteoarthritis. However, given they act at the feet, and given that many people with knee osteoarthritis also report foot pain, it is important to assess the effects of these devices at both joints. We will conduct a multi-centre randomized pilot trial to determine feasibility and preliminary efficacy.
This is a clinical trial of people who have pain due to knee osteoarthritis at Northwestern University Feinberg School of Medicine. The study will last for about 20 weeks. 180 qualified participants will be randomly assigned in a 1:1:1 ratio (60 participants per group) to one of three treatment groups: duloxetine, celecoxib, or placebo. Participants will have an Xray, knee MRI, brain MRI, blood draws, pain sensitivity testing, and asked to fill out questionnaires. The purpose of this study is to try to predict which participants will respond to the treatment.
In our study, investigators plan to compare the preoperative RF and genicular nerve ablation approach in patients who underwent TKA(Total Knee Arthroplasty) using the Fast-Track protocol in terms of meeting postoperative pain, function and early discharge criteria.
