Filter by:The goal of this clinical trial is to evaluate the effectiveness and safety of intra-articular injection of a cross-linked sodium hyaluronate; SEMICAL GEL-B CROSS, in knee osteoarthritis. Primary objectives: The aim of this study is to obtain short- and long-term clinical data on the performance and safety of intra-articular injection of SEMICAL GEL B-CROSS, produced and marketed by Semical Biosurgery incorporated company, in knee osteoarthritis patients. It is also aimed to monitoring known adverse events and complications, detecting previously unknown adverse events and complications, to identify and analyze emerging risks based on real-life data. Participants will receive intra-articular injection of either a cross-linked sodium hyaluronate (SEMICAL GEL-B CROSS); or placebo (isotonic saline solution) at baseline, and will be followed-up for one year to compare the effectiveness and safety of the given therapy.
To compare the radiographic and clinical outcomes of varus osteoarthritic knees treated with an open-wedge high tibial osteotomy (OWHTO) alone or with a double-level osteotomy (DLO). It was hypothesized that treatment with DLO would prevent the joint line obliquity (JLO) , optimize post-operative limb alignment and provide better clinical and radiological outcomes after surgery than medial opening-wedge high tibial osteotomy (OWHTO) alone for patients with medial compartment osteoarthritis.
The purpose of this study is to assess the safety, tolerability and efficacy of Lipocet® (food supplement) in patients with primary knee osteoarthritis grade 3 - 4
The purpose of this RCT is to investigate whether high tibial osteotomy using 3D printed patient specific guides aiming at 55% correction is non-inferior to aiming at 62%.
Rationale: Protein from plant-based foods may be unable to stimulate protein synthesis due to a suboptimal essential amino acid content and a lower digestibility. However, a more optimal amino acid profile may be achieved by increasing portions sizes and blending multiple plant-based sources. Studies investigating the anabolic properties of vegan diets (total elimination of animal-based foods) rather than single plant-based foods in older adults are scarce. It remains unknown if a vegan diet can also affect protein synthesis rates in other musculoskeletal tissues than muscle. Primary objective: To assess the effects of a 2-week preoperative vegan diet in comparison to an omnivorous diet on protein synthesis rates in Hoffa's fat pad, synovium, tendon, bone, ligaments, menisci, and cartilage in older adults with knee osteoarthritis undergoing total knee arthroplasty. Secondary objective: To assess the effects of a 2-week preoperative vegan diet in comparison to an omnivorous diet on blood pressure and plasma amino acids in older adults with knee osteoarthritis undergoing total knee arthroplasty. Study design: Multi-center, randomized, controlled trial with an intervention and a control group. Study population: 40 older adults (60 - 80 years) with osteoarthritis of the knee undergoing total knee replacement. Intervention: Controlled vegan diet versus controlled omnivorous diet, for a duration of 14 days. Main study parameters/endpoints: Primary study parameters are protein synthesis rates of Hoffa's fat pad, synovium, tendon, bone, ligament, menisci, and cartilage. Secondary parameters include blood pressure and plasma amino acids.
Osteoarthritis is degenerative joint disease that cause deterioration of the articular cartilage and neighboring tissue and lead to osteophyte formation, weakening of surrounding muscles, ligamentous laxity and inflammation of synovium. Diagnosis can be made based on history and clinical features and risk factors including age, sex, body mass index , absence of whole leg pain, fixed flexion deformity, absence of traumatic event, restricted flexion range of motion, pain in descending stairs, palpable effusion and crepitus. Confirmation is usually based on radiological finding according to Kellgren and Lawrence diagnostic scale . Radio graphic changes of osteoarthritis of the knee are bilateral in 85% of patients .
This study prospectively evaluates the effect of surgical wait time on knee function, pain and quality of life in patients waiting for knee arthroplasty (TKA or PKA)
The goal of this randomized, double blind, placebo-controlled clinical trial is to learn about, the effect of metformin compared with placebo-controlled group on disease activity and interleukin-6 level in patients with knee osteoarthritis.The main question it aims to answer is:Is Metformin as add-on therapy more effective in reducing disease activity in Ibuprofen-treated patients with grade II-III knee osteoarthritis? Half of Participants will receive metformin with standard of care(ibuprofen and rabeprazole) while other half placebo and standard of care (ibuprofen and rabeprazole).
In recent years, pain management coordinated with enhanced recovery after surgery (ERAS) has been widely applied and rapidly developed in orthopedics, showing promising prospects. Since 2016, our hospital has used a series of continuously improved pain management schemes for patients with knee OA who underwent total knee arthroplasty (TKA), unicompartmental knee arthroplasty (UKA), and high tibial osteotomy (HTO). Here, we retrospectively analyze these patients' clinical data to compare the effects of different pain intervention measures during the perioperative period on postoperative pain, functional exercise, hospital stay, and prognosis of the three surgical methods in an attempt to provide a feasible solution for pain management of these patients.
The goal of this clinical trial is to compare in 60 patients suffering for Knee OA to demonstrate that AMT-RegeneraActiva is able to speed up the improvement process of knee osteoarthritis (OA) compared to Sodium Hyaluronate Participants will [describe the main tasks participants will be asked to do, treatments they'll be given and use bullets if it is more than 2 items]. Researchers will compare 2 Groups to see to demonstrate that AMT-RegeneraActiva is able to speed up the improvement process of knee osteoarthritis (OA) compared to Sodium Hyaluronate to pain management and improvement of functionality.
