Filter by:The objective of this study is to evaluate the bone ingrowth after implantation of the study device. This study will also document any device-related surgical complications or adverse radiographic observations. Improvement in pain, function, and health economic data will be compared with improvements documented with other joint systems.
Medical condition under investigation: Osteoarthritis of the hip or knee Number of patients planned: 480 adult patients Main objective: To evaluate and compare the tolerability profile of Dexibuprofen Gebro 400 mg powder for oral suspension compared to Ibuprofen 400 mg in patients with painful osteoarthritis of the hip or knee Secondary objectives: To compare the overall efficacy of Dexibuprofen Gebro 400 mg powder for oral suspension compared to Ibuprofen 400 mg in patients suffering from different complaints due to painful osteoarthritis of the hip or knee
The objectives of this study are to assess migration of the MIS Stem compared to the Synergy Hip System using Radiostereometric Analysis (RSA), and to assess the long-term safety and effectiveness of the study device. This study will document any device-related surgical or post-operative complications and adverse radiographic observations. Subjects meeting the entrance criteria specified in this protocol will be randomized as they become available.
The purpose of this study is to evaluate the long term effect of exercise therapy and patient education compared to patient education only in individuals with hip OA, and to evaluate predictive factors for changes in hip osteoarthritis both clinically and on x-ray. Main hypothesis H01: There are no significant long term ( 2 years) differences in hip function, quality of life, physical function and radiological changes between those individuals who went through a patient education program and a 12 week exercise therapy program compared to patient education program only. Material and Methods: 109 patients with radiographically verified hip OA are included in the randomized controlled trial; randomized to 12 week exercise therapy program and patient education (n=55) and patient education program only (n=54). Data will be collected 2 years after completed intervention period in the original RCT, and 6 months and 2 years postoperatively for those patients who have undergone total hip arthroplasty. The main outcome is: The Disease Specific WOMAC-Index. Secondary outcome measures are: Hip X-ray, SF-36v2 (quality of life),PASE (activity score), Self-efficacy for pain, isokinetic muscle strength tests, 6 minute walk test, Åstrand's bike test, range of motion. Status: This study is a prolongation of an on-going RCT (3a-2005-NAR). The inclusion, intervention and follow-ups including 1 year follow-up is completed. 2 year post-intervention follow-up will be completed in 2010, 2 year follow-up postoperative for patients undergoing total hip artroplasty will continue throughout 2011. The study will be carried out: NAR-Orthopedic Centre, Ullevaal University Hospital.
This study aims to assess the long term (three years) ability of ASU (Avocado Soya unsaponifiable) to slow the decrease of radiographic JSW (Joint Space Width) in hip osteoarthritis (OA). This is a randomized, double blind, comparative, parallel group study versus placebo.
Research with DXA has shown the pattern of bone remodelling around an implant. The baseline and reference value for such calculations is the first measurement after the operation. The baseline measurement is performed at different time from study to study. If there is a rapid bone loss the first weeks after an operation, this will influence the reference value and then the results. To evaluate DXA as a method we decided to set up a study with 3 DXA measurements within the first 2 weeks. Our hypothesis is that there is a rapid bone loss the first 2 weeks after operation and that timing of the first post operative measurement will influence the later results.
Orthopedic surgery is reportedly among the most painful surgical procedures. Surgical damage following major orthopedic surgery often involves a large, deep incision with considerable tissue dissection and muscle, bone, and vascular exposure. Post-operative pain after such surgery is exacerbated on movement or by reflex spasms of the muscles, which may delay mobilization, reduce satisfaction, prolong hospitalization, and possibly increase medical costs. We design a prospective randomized study for postoperative pain control following total hip arthroplasty.
The purpose of the study is to evaluate the effect of manual treatment and a patient education programme for patients without indication for hip surgery.
The purpose of the study is to explore the short term effects of chiropractic care on pain and function in patients with hip osteoarthritis.
Extracts of chicory root have anti-inflammatory properties in vitro and in animal models of arthritis. The primary objective of this investigator-initiated, Phase 1, placebo-controlled, double blind, dose-escalating trial is to determine the safety and tolerability of a proprietary bioactive extract of chicory root in patients with osteoarthritis (OA). Secondary objectives are to assess effects on the signs and symptoms of this disorder. Individuals greater than 50 years of age with OA of the hip or knee will be eligible for trial entry.
