View clinical trials related to Osteoarthritis, Hip.
Filter by:Osteoarthritis is the most common form of arthritis in the United States. It is estimated that 20 million Americans have arthritis, and the annual societal cost is $95 billion. Several exercise studies have shown modest improvements in disability, physical performance, and pain in subjects with knee osteoarthritis. While similar results have been suggested in hip osteoarthritis, well-designed randomized clinical trials have not been conducted. Exercise programs appear beneficial but without adherence, the beneficial effects of exercise for knee and hip osteoarthritis decline over time. A well-designed, evidence-based, arthritis-specific study controlling for exercise duration, frequency and adherence is needed. The objective of this study is to determine the effects of structured exercise programs on self-reported pain and disability in adults with hip osteoarthritis. This prospective, randomized study with a wait-list control is designed to develop preliminary data to support an R01 funding request for a large, randomized clinical trial. All exercise interventions and outcome assessments will take place at OHSU in the Orthopaedics and Rehabilitation Clinics, Rehabilitation Services physical therapy gym, and the General Clinical Research Center. Subjects will be selected to include individuals representative of the larger population with documented hip osteoarthritis. This three-month study will evaluate the effects of an aerobic and resistance exercise program on pain and disability in individuals with hip osteoarthritis. Outcome assessment will follow the Outcome Measures in Rheumatology (OMERACT) recommendations for a core set of outcome measures for clinical trials in arthritis and assess pain, physical function, patient global assessment, and joint imaging. Data analysis will focus on comparing pre- and post-intervention endpoints using conventional statistical analyses such as repeated-measure analysis of variance for repeated continuous measures (e.g. walking distance), and non-parametric methods such as Chi-square or frequency analysis for proportions (e.g. visual pain scores).
The aim of the study is to improve hospital treatment and rehabilitation of patients with hip arthroplasty to help the patients to regain functional ability in the shortest possible time, and reduce hospital and rehabilitation time to save costs for the patient and society. Optimal reconstruction of the hip joint and the effect of an intensive physical training programme are compared to conventional rehabilitation programmes.
The purpose of this study is to document the clinical outcomes of several devices used in total hip replacement, including the Answer® hip stem, the Ranawat/Burnstein® acetabular shell, and Simplex® or Palacos® bone cement.
To compare clinical, functional and radiological outcome after hip resurfacing and cementless metal-on-metal total hip arthroplasty.
The purpose of this prospective clinical data-collection is to document the performance, clinical outcomes, and wear rates of ArCom® and ArComXL® Polyethylene. The data gathered will be collated and used as a part of Biomet's post-market surveillance system and to provide feedback to designing engineers, support marketing efforts, and answer potential questions from reimbursement agencies. Inclusion/exclusion criteria are identical to those indications and contraindications stated in the FDA approved labeling for the device in 510(k) K926107 and 510(k) K043051. Surgical techniques and patient care are to be standard for the surgeons participating in the protocol.
The specific aim of this proposed study is to conduct a prospective RSA clinical study at Massachusetts General Hospital involving 50 patients receiving primary total hip replacements. All patients will receive the vitamin E treated polyethylene acetabular inserts. Short-term femoral head penetration and long-term steady state wear of the polyethylene will be measured using both RSA and Martell analysis techniques. Stability of the acetabular and femoral components will be measured in all patients using RSA analysis. The stability of the cemented femoral stems will be compared to the stability of the cementless femoral components as well as to historic data in the literature. In addition, all patients will complete a self-administered questionnaire to assess the clinical outcome of the surgery and patient satisfaction.
There are two distinct aims of this study: 1. This prospective study is designed to document the long-term (10-year) radiographic and clinical outcomes of a new type of highly cross-linked polyethylene liner which contains vitamin E as an anti-oxidant, (E-Poly), in a group of primary total hip arthroplasty subjects. The clinical outcome of E-Poly will be compared to a group of subjects receiving Arcom XL polyethylene. 2. This study is also designed to document the long-term (10-year) radiographic and clinical outcomes of a new cementless acetabular component having a titanium porous surface (Regenerex). The clinical outcome of this new FDA cleared device will be compared a group of subjects receiving an acetabular component having a plasma sprayed surface.
To study the efficacy and safety of Naproxcinod vs. Placebo and Naproxen in the treatment of signs and symptoms of Osteoarthritis.
The primary objective of this study is to evaluate the safety and efficacy of 3 loading and maintenance dose levels of CG100649 administered for 21 days in the treatment of osteoarthritis pain.
Purpose of this study is to examine the effect of chiropractic adjusting (manipulative therapy) and rehabilitation on hip osteoarthritis (hip OA) in older adults.
