View clinical trials related to Osteoarthritis, Hip.
Filter by:Osteoarthritis is one of the most common chronic diseases of the musculoskeletal system in elderly. Patients with osteoarthritis experience pain, stiffness and loss of mobility. Due to ageing Western societies in the coming decades the number of elderly with osteoarthritis will progressively increase. Osteoarthritis is a common indicator for a Total Hip Arthroplasty (THA). A hip replacement is one of the most successful orthopedic surgeries. However, with regard to the postoperative rehabilitation a lot can be improved. The current situation after a THA is that physical therapy in the Netherlands is not prescribed by default. Patients are resigned from the hospital and receive home exercises. However, it is not clear whether patients actually carry out these exercises and whether they perform the exercises correctly.
This research is being done to see if there is a difference between two different spinal anesthetics (Mepivacaine vs. Bupivacaine) as it relates to reducing post-operative complications and the time it takes for subjects to regain mobility after surgery.
Periprosthetic bone-loss after total hip arthroplasty (THA), detected as an early migration of the prosthesis, may predict later loosening. The investigators hypothesized that by reducing bone resorption after THA with bisphosphonates, it might be possible to achieve better early fixation of the implant. Nineteen patients suffering arthrosis were recruited to a prospective, double-blinded, randomized, placebo-controlled clinical pilot trial. Patients were operated with an uncemented Bimetric stem with tantalum markers, the acetabular cup and liner were chosen by the surgeon. The femoral proximal intramedullary canal was rinsed with 1mM (millimole) clodronate, that was done by adding the clodronate to the 1000 ml 0.9% NaCl (sodium chloride) in nine patients and rinsing solution was the pure 0.9% NaCl for 10 patients. These rinsing packages were labeled only with the code from the pharmacy of the hospital. These patients were followed for two years using radiostereometric analysis (RSA), dual energy x-ray absorptiometry (DXA) and the Harris hip score (HHS). The purpose of the investigator's study was to examine whether the local intraoperative administration of clodronate could reduce periprosthetic bone loss and further stem migration after primary THA.
The Lumbar Plexus (LP) block is currently used as the standard-of-care regional anesthesia technique to provide postoperative pain management after primary hip replacement surgery at UPMC Shadyside Hospital. However, the LP technique is complex and can be associated with potentially serious side effects, including nerve injury, major bleeding, retroperitoneal hematoma, and intrathecal injection of local anesthetic. In rare instances the LP block can also lead to motor blockade, interfering with early ambulation. There are several case reports of Quadratus Lumborum inter-fascial block (QL3) giving equally adequate pain relief after total hip replacement surgery, and this QL3 block is performed routinely at this institution. The benefits to inter-fascial administration of local anesthetic include the avoidance of theoretical nerve injury, bleeding and intrathecal anesthetic administration associated with the direct interaction between the nerve and the nerve block needle. The purpose of this study is to show that QL3 block is non-inferior to the standard-of-care lumbar plexus block and should be used more regularly in hip replacement surgery. The study will be conducted as a prospective, randomized (1:1), double-blind, non-inferiority, active-comparator trial. The investigators plan to enroll 40 subjects, 20 in each treatment group. This study will prospectively investigate the efficacy of QL3 versus Classic LP block for post-operative pain management in subjects undergoing primary, unilateral hip replacement surgery and prospectively compare QL3 versus Classic LP block in time to mobilization and physical therapy response. Primary outcome measures include pain at rest and with movement at 6, 12 and 24 hours after surgery. Secondary outcomes will be time for first request for pain medication, total pain medications (narcotics and non-narcotic analgesics) given in 24 hours and the time of participant's ability to walk 100 feet as recorded by a physical therapist.
To prove that anterior approach total hip arthroplasty using the HANA table can be performed with little, if any, need for opioids using a combination of education, optimized pre op and post op pain protocols and optimized recovery tools.
The purpose of the Study is to test a higher dose of steroids(Dexamethasone) given just prior to surgery in the setting of Fast-Track Hip-surgery with Arthroplasty in a group of expected High Pain Responders and the effect on postoperative pain and postoperative inflammation.
The nerves from lumbar plexus (LP) are the current target to achieve analgesia after a total hip arthroplasty (THA). Lumbar plexus block (LPB) is an alternative that provides optimal postoperative analgesia. However, many adverse effects and complications have been reported due to its proximity to vital structures. Because of these shortcomings, an alternative to block the LP nerves is required. In a recent trial suprainguinal Fascia Iliaca Block (SFIB) was reported to provide reliable analgesia in THA. SFIB may carry a lower risk profile, however, no study has compared the efficacy of LPB and SFIB in this setting. Thus, this randomized trial is set out to compare US guided LPB and SFIB for analgesia after THA. The hypothesis is that both blocks would result in similar postoperative opioid (morphine) consumption at 24 hours and, therefore, designed the study as an equivalence trial.
Hip osteoarthritis (OA) is one of the most prevalent chronic disease in the world. Clinical guidelines recommend non-pharmacological conservative treatments for the management of OA. Hip flexors seems to play an important role in the development of hip OA but there is no published studies evaluating the results of a stretching protocol of hip flexors in hip OA patients. The objective of this trial is to evaluate if a stretching protocol of hip flexors is more effective in symptoms, functional capacity , range of motion, strength, muscular length, pain threshold and anxiety and depression compared to control. For this purpose the investigators conduct a single-group, pretest-posttest clinical trial.The investigators included patients diagnosed of hip osteoarthritis Grade I-III by Scale of Kellgren and Lawrence. The variables are measured at the beginning and at the end of treatment of the control phase, and at the end of the stretching protocol phase.
The primary objective of the study is to evaluate the effect of fasinumab compared to placebo on peripheral nerves in participants with pain due to Osteoarthritis (OA) of the hip or knee. The secondary objectives of the study are to: - Evaluate the efficacy of fasinumab compared to placebo in participants with pain due to OA of the hip or knee - Evaluate the safety and tolerability of fasinumab compared to placebo in participants with pain due to OA of the hip or knee - Characterize the concentrations of fasinumab in serum in participants with pain due to OA of the hip or knee - Evaluate the immunogenicity of fasinumab in participants with pain due to OA of the hip or knee.
The Zimmer Hip Resurfacing System Post-Market Clinical Follow-up study will examine the safety and efficacy of this device in the young and/or active patient with advanced hip disease.
