Filter by:This study aims to compare the effects of hyaluronic acid injection and platelet rich plasma injection in terms of pain, physical function and femoral cartilage thickness in short term treatment in patients with knee osteoarthritis.
The purpose of this study is to compare the effects of the radiofrequency applied to the sensory innervation of the knee, with respect to a control group (standard therapy), in a prehabilitation program aiming to improve the functional recovery of patients undergoing TKA. In the present study, the investigators hypothesize that participants treated with radiofrequency 4-6 weeks before the surgery, should be able to effectively accomplish the prehabilitation program and, therefore, have a faster recovery of their functional status in the post operative period , compared with the control group (That use the present state of the art approach)
This study compared the cost effectiveness of two-stage algorithm (prolotherapy injections (PrT) combined with rehabilitation protocol (RP) prior to total knee arthroplasty (TKA)) and one-stage algorithm (TKA) in the management of advanced stage knee osteoarthritis.
The purpose of the Study is to test a higher dose of steroids(Dexamethasone) given just prior to surgery in the setting of Fast-Track Kneesurgery with Arthroplasty and the effect on postoperative pain and postoperative inflammation.
This study is conducted to evaluate the effectiveness of low-level laser therapy (LLLT) as an adjunct to exercise therapy in knee osteoarthritis (KOA).
The purpose of this study is to determine the feasibility and preliminary efficacy of a two-week self tDCS and mindfulness-based meditation for pain in older adults with knee osteoarthritis (OA).
This study will compare two different treatment approaches for the management of knee osteoarthritis (OA). All subjects will receive a standardized approach consistent with the core set of recommendation from the Department of Defense (DoD) and Veterans Administration (VA) Clinical Practice Guidelines for Non-Surgical Management of Knee Osteoarthritis. Follow-up will occur over a 1 year period.
The treatment that patients with knee OA are offered varies largely. There is a need for more evidence-based individualized guidance to treatment choice for knee osteoarthritis. This study will register and evaluate the course and outcome of treatment in 5,000 patients with knee osteoarthritis. The understanding of knee OA treatment will advance in three ways: Firstly, by describing the different treatment pathways that are currently being used for knee OA. Secondly, by identifying wich individual factors that may impact the outcome of the treatment course. And finally, by conducting the economic burden related to different treatment modalities.
This study will establish a machine-learning algorithm to predict KAM using IMU sensors during stair ascent and descent; and then conduct a three-arm randomized controlled trial to compare the biomechanical and clinical difference between patients receiving a course of conventional laboratory-based stair retraining, sensor-based stair retraining, and walking exercise control (i.e., walking exercise without gait retraining). The investigators hypothesise that the wearable IMUs will accurately predict KAM during stair negotiation using machine-learning algorithm, with at least 80% measurement agreement with conventional calculation of KAM. The investigators also hypothesise that patients randomized to the laboratory-based and sensor-based stair retraining conditions would evidence similar (i.e., weak and non-significant differences) reduction in KAM (primary outcome) and an improvement of symptoms (secondary outcomes), but that these subjects would evidence larger reductions in KAM than subjects assigned to the walking exercise control condition.
This study compares analgesic effect between two techniques of adductor canal nerve block after total knee arthroplasty. The first group of the patients will receive intraoperative adductor canal nerve block; and the other group post operative ultrasound guided adductor canal nerve block. Investigators will measure postoperative opioid consumption, pain management and rehabilitation goals.
