Filter by:This is a randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled, multi-center study to evaluate the safety, tolerability, and efficacy of Intra-Articular (IA) verapamil in the treatment of joint pain in patients with knee osteoarthritis (OA). Subjects will discontinue all analgesic medications for the entire duration of the study, except for acetaminophen (taken on an as needed basis at no more than 2 g/day). At visit 2, subjects who meet all entry criteria will be randomized to receive a single injection of IA verapamil or IA placebo at a ratio of 1:1. Treatments will be given with fluoroscopy or ultrasound to confirm needle placement. Subjects will be monitored for blood pressure and heart rate (sitting and standing) for at least 1 hour post-injection. Subjects will be evaluated at weeks 1, 2, 3, 4, 6, 8, and 12 after treatment.
The purpose of this study is to monitor the performance of the DeltaMotion cup system in the treatment of patients with hip joint disease requiring a total hip replacement.Patients who enter the study will be evaluated at regular intervals following hip surgery using patient, clinical and x-ray assessments.
The purpose of this pilot study is to determine the feasibility of conducting a high quality clinical trial to investigate the effects of low intensity, pulsed ultrasound on knee osteoarthritis pain and physical function.
This study is designed to assess: Hypothesis #1: That there is a significant central pain component in a distinct subset of patients diagnosed with knee osteoarthritis(KOA), Chronic low back pain(CLBP), painful diabetic neuropathy(PDN.) Hypothesis # 2: To establish a reliable strategy for differentiation of central pain predominant from peripheral pain predominant knee osteoarthritis(KOA), chronic low back pain(CLBP)and peripheral diabetic neuropathy(PDN) patients using clinical features, experimental pain testing and magnetic resonance(MR) Spectroscopy.
OPEN (Osteoarthritis Physical Activity and Exercise Net) is a website created based on a well developed behavioural theory. This intervention is developed for people with early knee osteoarthritis (OA) who have been sedentary. The investigators aim to engage these individuals to become physically active at a time when their joint symptoms tend to be mild. The primary goal of this proof-of-concept randomized controlled trial is to determine if the OPEN website plus an information pamphlet about OA will improve participation in physical activity in persons with early knee OA, compared to those who receive only the pamphlet.
To evaluate the ConforMIS iDuo G2 implant
The purpose of this study is to evaluate the use and efficacy of the 3DKnee™ System using Vitamin E UHMWPE tibial inserts for total knee replacement surgery.
This study is being done to determine if a drug called gabapentin helps in the postoperative management of patients undergoing hip and knee operations. The investigators wish to determine the effect of gabapentin on pain and sleep following surgery. If we can lessen a patient's pain and improve sleep, the patient will be better able to participate in their physical therapy. Gabapentin has already been shown to lessen postoperative pain when given before surgery. In healthy patients, it has also been shown to improve certain aspects of sleep. We hope to identify the effect of the drug, when given after surgery, on patients' pain and sleep.
The purpose of this study is to assess whether a single injection hyaluronic acid (HA) product is not inferior to a 3 injection HA product at 24 weeks (6 months), in terms of effectiveness in reducing pain when walking in patients suffering from symptomatic tibiofemoral osteoarthritis of the knee.
The primary objective of this investigation is to evaluate survivorship at ten years. For this post approval study (PAS), a maximum acceptable hazard of revision is assumed to be a constant 1% per year.
