Filter by:In this study, our objective was to assess the correlation between serum human cartilage glycoprotein-39 (YKL-40) and nesfatin-1 values, the patient's clinical condition, ultrasonographic cartilage thickness measurements, and the response to PRP treatment in knee osteoarthritis (OA)
To prove the non-inferiority of DKM420 by evaluating the injecting efficacy and safety DKM 420 and control for patients who have osteoarthritis of Knee.
Osteoarthritis (OA) is one of the most frequent causes of pain and disability in adults. According to the Osteoarthritis Research Society International (OARSI), at least 40% of people over the age of 65 suffer from symptomatic osteoarthritis of the hip or knee. Knee osteoarthritis (OA) is the eleventh leading cause of years lived with disability according to the World Health Organization. The guidelines show that treatment with intra-articular injections of hyaluronic acid (HA) leads to a slow, prolonged pain relief (up to six months after the first injection); On the other hand, there is little evidence in the literature about the intra-articular use of isolated collagen or in combination with hyaluronic acid in the treatment of knee osteoarthritis. The present study showed a clinically good safety profile and provided preliminary evidence of the efficacy of NEOIAL HC for the treatment of symptomatic knee OA
To investigate effects of repetitive peripheral magnetic stimulation (PMS) on pain reduction in knee osteoarthritis
The aim of the study is to evaluate safety, tolerability and clinical efficacy of a newly developed MesoCellA-Ortho tissue-engineered advanced therapy medicinal product in adult patients suffering with osteoarthritis and additionally burdened with other civilisation diseases such as type 2 diabetes and/ or obesity. The active substance of MesoCellA-Ortho consists of in vitro expanded autologous human adipose tissue-derived mesenchymal stem/ stromal cells (AT-MSCs) resuspended in carrier solution for intraarticular injections for individual patents.
Knee osteoarthritis (OA) is a rheumatic disease that causes serious cartilage damage in the knee joint. Moderate physical activity can slow cartilage degeneration in moderate OA stages. Remarkable weakness and atrophy of the quadriceps and hamstrings is a common problem in patients with chronic osteoarthritis, but in arthritis, it may be difficult to achieve strength gains due to the pain caused by heavy load-resistant exercises. Exercising with these high loads may not be possible or may injure painful arthritic knees. For this reason, lately, blood flow restriction exercises have been directed to achieve the same gain by exercising with lower loads by restricting the blood flow with a cuff. We aimed to limit the blood flow in osteoarthritic knees and to provide strength gain and pain reduction provided by conventional exercises given routinely. Our hypothesis in this study is that exercises that blood flow restriction exercises will reduce pain and increase strength as well as conventional exercises.
This is a phase IIb, randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled study to determine the efficacy and safety of MM-II in subjects with symptomatic knee OA as compared to matching placebo.
The present study evaluated the effects of adding whole body vibration to squat training on the isometric quadriceps muscle strength, the plasma concentration of brain-derived neurotrophic factor at rest in elderly woman with osteoarthritis of the knee. The eligible patients were fifteen elderly women ≥ 60 years of age who had been diagnosed with osteoarthritis of the knee. The intervention consisted of uninterrupted squatting exercises for 12 weeks, a 3x/week. The exercise protocol was similar in both groups differed only in the presence of vibration.
To evaluate the progression on patients suffering from end stage OA whilst being on the waiting list for TKR
Osteoarthritis (OA) is one of the most common joint diseases causing pain, muscle weakness and disability in older population. Quadriceps muscle weakness is one of the recognized risk factors for the development and the progression of the disease. Increasing the muscle strength could actually bring many benefits to the knee OA patients. The purposes of this study are 1) to investigate the effects of combining the EMG biofeedback technique into a stationary cycling exercise on the activities of vastus medialis (VM) in people with medial compartment knee OA; 2) To investigate the efficiency of a 6-week cycling exercise program on improving of quadriceps muscle strength and endurance, physical functions and pain in these patients and compare between the conditions of with or without EMG biofeedback; 3) To determine the relationships between the muscle activities and the kinematics of the knee joint during this cycling exercise program; and therefore to find the mechanism of the improvement on muscle activities in the intervention of cycling combining EMG biofeedback. In this study, we will enroll the knee OA patients from our hospital, and they will be randomly assigned either to the control group, who will cycle without biofeedback, or the biofeedback group, who will cycle with a real-time visual EMG biofeedback, during the six-week training program. The exercise program consisted of a 5-minute warm-up with low-resistance cycling, 30-minute moderate-resistance cycling exercise, and 5-minute cool down session. . The knee adduction angle, quadriceps strength and endurance, KOOS Chinese version, VAS scale will also be measured at baseline and after six weeks of intervention. Mixed-model repeated measure analysis of variance (ANOVA) will be used to determine if there are any differences in the kinematic, myoelectric, muscle strength and endurance. It is hoped that the results of this study could provide information regarding the proper and efficient training strategy for the OA knee patients, and deliver the concepts of proper exercise technique to enhance health in the community.
