Filter by:The goal of this clinical study is to evaluate the effectiveness of the properties that support the functional state of the joints and the safety of the dietary supplement for food ARTNEO®, oral capsules, in patients with stage II-III primary osteoarthritis of the knee joint. The main questions it aims to answer are: 1. To evaluate the effectiveness of the joint functional state-supporting properties of dietary supplement ARTNEO®, capsules for oral administration, in patients with stage II-III primary osteoarthritis of the knee joint; 2. To evaluate the safety of dietary supplement ARTNEO®, capsules for oral administration, in patients with stage II-III primary osteoarthritis of the knee joint. Participants will be randomly distributed equally among two groups: - Group 1 "ARTNEO" (106 people): patients take the study dietary supplement ARTNEO®, 1 capsule 1 time per day for 6 months; - Group 2 "Placebo" (106 people): patients take placebo 1 capsule 1 time per day for 6 months.
Evaluation of the effect of the AI500™ SINGLE-DOSE GEL medical device in patients with reduced knee function
The purpose of this clinical study was to determine whether gold nanoparticles (AuNP) supplement holds clinical value in improving joint health, function, and quality of life for arthritis patients.
The investigators studied the influence of two aproved rehabilitative treatments, connective tissue techniques and lymphatic drainage, on acute inflammation markers. Furthermore, the role of mediterranean diet on the same values was investigated in the first postoperative period
The investigators propose to prospectively evaluate the accuracy of a novel 7-Tesla (7T) knee MRI protocol for the detection and grading of cartilage lesions in the knee, which is a significant limitation of current MRI techniques.
Outpatients who undergo knee surgery are designated two different clinical study groups. Group A receives common wrapping after surgery to the first postsurgical day and will be provided with compression stockings for the following 10 days, while group B only receives common wrapping and will not be provided with compression stockings. The investigators are going to investigate the effect of compression stockings on postsurgical swelling and formation of edema on outpatients.
Articular cartilage defects in the knee have a poor intrinsic healing capacity and may lead to functional disability and osteoarthritis. Cartilage cell therapy using autologous chondrocyte implantation (ACI) has been established as the first advanced treatment therapy medicinal product. Although this technique has achieved good mid-term results, it is a costly and extensive two-stage procedure which is limited by the number of chondrocytes obtained by biopsy and the dedifferentiation resulting from the expansion phase. Therefore, there is a need for improvement. A new cartilage repair technique should aim at decreasing surgical trauma, lowering complexity, improving logistics and cost-effectiveness while retaining or improving clinical outcome. Direct contact between mesenchymal stromal cells (MSCs) and dedifferentiated articular chondrocytes in vitro showed improvement of the chondrogenic phenotype of dedifferentiated articular chondrocytes. In addition, preserving the pericellular matrix of chondrocytes improves cartilage formation. These chondrons (chondrocytes with their pericellular matrix) have shown improved cartilage formation when combined with allogeneic MSCs in extensive preclinical studies. The cells are mixed with fibrin cell carrier and applied to the cartilage lesion within one surgical procedure. This will reduce patient morbidity and improve patient care through immediate transplantation of a potent cell-based cartilage product. This is a phase I/II prospective monocenter study to evaluate the safety and feasibility of the IMPACT for treatment of focal articular cartilage lesions of the knee.
