Filter by:Purpose: The study was conducted to determine the effect of 1 ml of nigella sativa oil applied for 2 minutes three times a day for 21 days on pain severity and physical functions in patients with knee osteoarthritis (OA). Design and methods: This randomized controlled study was conducted with patients diagnosed with knee OA and admitted to the physical therapy outpatient clinic of a public hospital in Turkey between February 15, 2021 and March 31, 2021. A total of 75 patients were included in the study, and 25 of them were assigned to the nigella sativa oil group, 25 to the naproxen and lidocaine gel group, and 25 to the massage group. Research data were collected using the "Patient Information Form", "Western Ontario and McMaster Universities Osteoarthritis Index (Western Ontario and McMaster Universities Osteoarthritis Index = WOMAC)" and knee joint range measurements were made. For 21 days, both knees were massaged for 2 minutes 3 times a day, 1 ml of nigella sativa oil was applied to the patients in the nigella sativa oil group, 1 ml of naproxen and lidocaine gel was applied to the patients in the naproxen and lidocaine gel group, and 1 ml of liquid vaseline was applied to the patients in the massage group.
In this study, the investigators aimed to compare the efficacy of %5, %10 and %20 concentration dextrose prolotherapy (DPT) treatments in patients with primary knee osteoarthritis (OA). In this prospective, randomized, controlled, single-blind study, 128 patients who met the inclusion criteria were recruited and divided into four groups. Thirty patients from each group completed the study. %5 DPT was applied to Group 1, %10 to Group 2, and %20 to Group 3 in combination with home exercise program and hotpack therapy. Group 4 was given home exercise program and hotpack therapy. Groups were evaluated with VAS (Visual Analog Scale), WOMAC (Western Ontario and McMaster Universities Osteoarthritis Index), knee ROM (Range of Motion), and Timed up and go test (TUG) parameters. DPT groups were evaluated in terms of side effects.
A randomized control trial will be conducted at the outpatient department of Dow Institute of Physical Medicine and Rehabilitation. A sample size of 80 is calculated using PASS version 11 software. The subjects will be first screened and those who fulfill the inclusion criteria, will be asked to fill the consent form. After selection, the participants will be randomly allocated by the help of computer generated randomization sheet, into two groups i.e. experimental and the control group. The group A will be provided with the myofascial release along with the neuromuscular training whereas the group B will only receive the neuromuscular training. Cold pack will be applied to both the groups. The neuromuscular training consists of warm-up phase, lunges, sideways exercises, wall squats, weight transfer exercises, step up and down and the cool down phase. Total 12 sessions of 35 minutes each will be given to all the participants for about 4 weeks on alternate days. Outcome measures will be analyzed by visual analogue scale (VAS) for pain assessment, goniometry for range of motion and the Knee injury and Osteoarthritis Outcome Score (KOOS) to evaluate the functional assessment of the patients at the baseline and the post intervention.
The aim of this study was to determine the effectiveness of transitional care in patients with total knee arthroplasty on patients' functional status, perceived self-efficacy, and health care use. Based on the sampling inclusion criteria, we assigned the patients who would undergo knee arthroplasty to the control (n=35) and intervention (n=35) groups, via the block randomization method. The intervention group received transitional care, while the control group received usual care. Data were collected on post-intervention functional status, level of self-efficacy, and hospital visits outside of routine control.
This is a parallel-arm mixed-methods randomized controlled trial to investigate the feasibility of telehealth delivered mindful exercise vs. usual exercise interventions for people with knee osteoarthritis.
The aim of the study is to translate and culturally adapt Western Ontario And MacMaster Osteoarthritis Index into Urdu language and to investigate its reliability and validity Pakistani population with primary knee osteoarthritis while assessing its correlation with Lequesne Index.
The purpose of this study is to compare the efficacy of 75 mg of Pregabalin and 150 mg of Pregabalin in postoperative pain control after TKA.
- To translate the Oxford knee score into Urdu language - To evaluate the reliability and validity of Urdu Version of Oxford knee score for accessing pain and physical function in patients with knee osteoarthritis. - To evaluate the correlation of Oxford knee score with Western Ontario McMaster universities osteoarthritis index and International Knee Documentation Committee
Knee osteoarthritis (OA) is a common problem in clinical settings. Knee OA is well known for its association with the wear and tear of the cartilage and osteophyte formation. Evidence has suggested the importance of the infrapatellar fat pad, known as Hoffa's fat pad, during the development of knee OA. Some studies have demonstrated the protective role of the infrapatellar fat pad, whereas others have suggested an inflammatory role such as increased fibrosis and proinflammatory cytokine levels. Ultrasound is exceptionally convenient in the assessment of the musculoskeletal system, and elastography is a tool to evaluate tissue texture. Therefore, in this study, we investigated the Hoffa's fat pad in knee OA patients by using elastography.
Prospective, single arm, pilot study to assess the safety and tolerability of a single intra-articular injection of EVI-01 for the treatment of symptomatic knee osteoarthritis.
