Filter by:This is a prospective, randomized, single-blinded, multi-center trial comparing Kinematic Alignment vs Mechanical Alignment in TKA patients using patient reported outcomes, clinical and functional performance tests and radiographic analyses.
This study seeks to evaluate the safety and efficacy of genicular artery embolization (GAE) as a treatment for patients with chronic pain following primary total knee arthroplasty (TKA) or revision TKA at 6 months as measured by the Knee Injury and Osteoarthritis Outcome Score (KOOS).
This is a prospective, multi-center, two-arm, randomized, controlled post-market study to evaluate and compare the clinical accuracy of component placement in robotic-assisted UKA and that of traditional methods.
SPRINT PNS System will be offered to patients with postoperative knee pain following primary unilateral total knee arthroplasty (TKA) who meet eligibility criteria and consistent with established coverage policy. SPRINT PNS System will be implanted for 60 days. At the discretion of the physician, the first lead may be placed to stimulate the nerve innervating the region of greatest pain. If pain is not adequately addressed by the first lead when assessed at 10 days, a second lead may be placed approximately 2 weeks following the initial lead placement.
Efficacy and safety study of resiniferatoxin versus placebo to manage pain in patients with knee osteoarthritis whose TKR surgery is delayed
The ultrasound-guided selective blockade of the saphenous nerve in the adductor canal provides effective analgesia and reduces postoperative pain in patients undergoing arthroscopic medial meniscectomy. Selective blockade of the saphenous nerve in the adductor canal provides effective analgesia without quadriceps muscle weakness. It has been shown that the adductor canal block (ACB) block increases the spread of local anesthetics in a distal and proximal way. Therefore, the proximal spread of local anesthetics may cause possible quadriceps weakness. The distal spread of local anesthetics may increase analgesic effect via sciatic nerve. The different volumes for ACB is a topic of discussion. The aim of this study is to compare the different volumes of US-guided ACB performing for postoperative analgesia management after total knee arthroplasty surgery.
This study evaluates the efficacy and safety of intra-articular injection of resiniferatoxin in patients with moderate to severe knee pain due to osteoarthritis.
This project intends to investigate whether (1) a patient-maintained opioid diary provides an accurate measure of opioid consumption (morphine equivalents), (2) improved patient educational materials decrease narcotic consumption, and (3) using a pain management counselor provides additional benefits in decreasing narcotic consumption when used in conjunction with improved educational materials. Furthermore, the investigators would like to investigate the effect of the patient-maintained diaries, the improved educational materials, and the pain management counselor on pain levels, nausea, sleep quality, and patient satisfaction. All patients undergoing orthopedic surgery at Brigham and Women's Faulkner Hospital and choose to participate will be assigned to a treatment group based on which arm of the study is being tested at the time; (the treatment arms are sequential). Members of Group 1 (control group) will receive the current standardized institutional discharge care for orthopedic surgery and an added tracking diary. Members of Group 2 (experimental group 1) will receive more detailed educational materials regarding postoperative pain management - including instructions to how to taper their narcotic usage - as well as a tracking diary. Members of Group 3 (experimental group 2) will receive not only the educational materials of Group 2, but also weekly phone calls from a clinical patient educator to remind them of proper use of the diary and narcotic tapering.
This study will investigate the potential effects of platelet rich plasma for the treatment of persistent medial knee pain after total knee arthroplasty. All study participants will receive PRP injections and will be followed up to see if any benefit in regards to pain and/or function is achieved.
