Pain sensitization has been associated with pain severity in people with knee osteoarthritis (KOA) and a neuropathic pain component has been identified in up to 30% of KOA patients. Mechanistic pain profiling aims to identify the underlying mechanisms in the peripheral and central nervous systems, which are associated to the clinical pain. In addition, the mechanisms underlying the pain relieving effect of standardized exercise therapy are largely unknown, but it is hypothesized that they are linked to the patient's ability to activate the descending pain inhibitory pathways (conditioned pain modulation, CPM) in the central nervous system. Mechanistic pain profiling including CPM have been used prognostic to identify responders to treatment, but these measures as a prognostic tool for standardized exercise therapy has not been investigated. The primary aim of this study is to investigate if mechanistic pain profiling alone or in combination with clinical pain measures before standardized exercise therapy can predict the patients' pain reduction following the exercise therapy program
Chronic pain affects more than 50 million adults in the United States and is estimated to cost the nation more than $560 billion dollars each year. Regular physical activity is widely recognized as essential for maintaining health for all individuals, but is particularly important for individuals with chronic pain (ICPs) as physical activity can prevent further deconditioning and may even improve pain outcomes. Previous literature has shown that certain categories of partner behaviors (e.g., solicitous, punishing, distracting) are associated with different health outcomes for ICPs, and recently researchers have begun examining partner behaviors through the lens of Self-Determination Theory, specifically looking at the effects of autonomy support from a spouse on physical activity among ICPs. Partner autonomy support has been positively associated with physical activity levels and better health outcomes, but no studies to date have explored what factors predict whether or not a partner will use an autonomy supportive interpersonal style (as opposed to a controlling interpersonal style) with the ICP. Similarly, more research is needed on the mechanisms by which autonomy support promotes positive outcomes for ICPs. Though receiving autonomy support has been linked to increased physical activity and improved mental health, no studies have yet tested the full Self-Determination Theory model as one possible explanation of the link between this form of partner support and desirable health outcomes. In particular, it is important to understand the ICP's perspective on how partner autonomy support influences need satisfaction and autonomous motivation as possible mediators between autonomy support and ICP physical activity. Furthermore, little research has explored other need supportive behaviors or their need frustrating counterparts. The current study will not only provide greater understanding of autonomy support, but will also expand the literature regarding these other need supportive and need thwarting behaviors. Lastly, given the value of need supportive behaviors from one's partner, it is essential to evaluate how partner perceptions of those need supportive behaviors align with ICP's perceptions of those behaviors. Any need support a partner provides is likely moderated by the ICP's perception of that support.
The prospective, multicentric, observational study has the aims to monitor the performance of the MOTO medial unicompartmental knee system in the treatment of patients with knee disease requiring a UKA. 150 patients will be recruited in 18 months and will be reviewed until 5 years follow-up visit after surgery. The primary objective of the study is to evaluate the prosthesis survival at 5 years.
The primary objective is to establish the mean superior cup migration of the Pinnacle Acetabular Shell using model-based RSA over the first two years post-implantation. The primary endpoint is the mean vertical subsidence (Y translation, also known as superior cup migration) at 2 years as measured with RSA. This will be summarized for each surgical approach separately, as well as combined.
This study will look at the health results of using the LEGION™ Primary Knee System over a period of ten (10) years. This type of surgery uses an artificial knee made of plastic and metal. This study will enter subjects who suffer from a variety of conditions that have caused at least one of their knees to become nonfunctional. You are being asked to participate in the study because you have significant problems with your knee(s) and your study surgeon has determined that your knee(s) must be surgically replaced to improve your condition. If you decided to participate in this study, you will be one of approximately one hundred thirty-eight (138) subjects in the study.
The objective of this study is to determine the long-term safety and effectiveness of the NANOS neck preserving stem in terms of radiographic and clinical performance as well as short-, mid- and long-term survivorship
Shared Decision Making (SDM) supports patient centered care and improves patient outcomes and satisfaction. Movement is Life (MIL) created an innovative SDM tool to provide a personalized framework for discussion of the projected impact to patients of their decisions regarding treatment options for knee osteoarthritis. 1. Did use of the MIL SDM tool for knee osteoarthritis result in an increased level of self-reported physical activity at one month in African American and Hispanic women? 2. Did use of the MIL SMD tool increase subject likeliness to recommend the physician? 3. What is the qualitative feedback from subjects on ease of use of the MIL SDM tool?
The purpose of this study is to confirm the safety and efficacy of Ampion for the treatment of pain and function in patients with severe osteoarthritis of the knee.
The purpose of this study is to explore the efficacy and safety of autologous bone marrow-derived mesenchymal stem cells (BMSCs) plus autologous platelet rich plasma (PRP) in the treatment of severe knee osteoarthritis.
