Filter by:The goal of this clinical trial is to compare three-point and six-point Genicular Nerve Radiofrequency Ablation (GNRFA) in adults with chronic knee osteoarthritis (KOA). The main question it aims to answer is whether six- target GNRFA technique is more efficacious than standard three-target GNRFA technique in managing the pain and function of KOA. Consented patients who respond to a diagnostic block will be randomly assigned to either three-point or six-point GNRFA. Researchers will compare pain and function in these two groups.
Multi-center, Randomized, Double Blinded, Active-controlled Phase III Clinical Trial to Assess the Efficacy and Safety of SKCPT in Patients with knee Osteoarthritis
The aim of Pain Neuroscience Education (PNE) is to explain to patients the biological and physiological processes involved in a pain experience and, more importantly, defocus the issues associated with the anatomical structures. PNE provides compelling evidence in reducing pain, disability, pain catastrophization, and limited physical movement in musculoskeletal problems. Knee osteoarthritis (KOA) is a very common painful musculoskeletal problem, especially in people over 50 years old, and lead to decrease in knee range of motion. Despite costly arthroscopic surgeries and long-term physiotherapy treatments, poor outcomes are common. The lack of satisfactory results suggests that some practices should be revised. Although PNE could be useful as an intervention, to our knowledge, there is no randomized controlled trial in the literature investigating the effects of PNE in patients with a KOA. Therefore, we aimed to examine the effectiveness of PNE on clinical outcomes in patients with KOA.
This is a post-marketing surveillance on Medacta Shoulder System
The study will be a multicenter, randomized, double-blind, follow-up clinical trial. Neither the examining doctor nor the patient knows which capsule they will receive. Just the test unlock the codes after completion. T
A pre-market randomized, parallel group, single-blind, clinical study with a Medical Device, made of vegetal material, to evaluate the efficacy and safety of one knee injection of the investigational device versus active comparator (Jonexa). The study population will consist of 150 patients diagnosed with primary knee osteoarthrosis. At present, the study is monocentric competitive. Treatment period for each patient is 6 months.
The aim of this study is to investigate whether Graded Motor Imagery (GMI) application is as effective as Transcutaneous Electrical Nerve Stimulation (TENS) in individuals with knee osteoarthritis (OA). The objectives are to improve range of motion (ROM) and muscle strength, reduce pain and stiffness, increase pain pressure threshold, and enhance function and physical performance through GMI application.
The goal of this cross-sectional case control study is to investigate the cardiovascular risk in digital osteoarthritis. This study aims to compare the cardiovascular risk between group of patients with digital osteoarthritis and control group of patients with non-osteoarthritis disease paired by measurement of carotid intima-media thickness. All participants will undergo an ultrasound scan to measure carotid intima media thickness, a clinical assessment with the rheumatologist and a cardiovascular risk assessment.
Knee osteoarthritis is a degenerative joint disease characterized by the destruction and progressive loss of articular cartilage. In an advanced stage of the disease, the patient undergoes a total knee joint replacement with an artificial joint (total arthroplasty). The aim of this clinical study is to investigate the effect of combining a therapeutic exercise program based on Proprioceptive Neuromuscular Facilitation (PNF) and tendon vibration in older adult patients after total knee arthroplasty (TKA). Ninety (90) adults over 65 years of age who will undergo TKA due to knee osteoarthritis will be divided into three groups of 30 people each (two intervention and one control). The participants in the first group will follow a therapeutic exercise protocol based on the PNF technique for six weeks. The participants in the second intervention group will follow the same therapeutic exercise program based on PNF, and at the same time, tendon vibration will be applied on the common insertion tendon of the rectus femoris and vastus medialis for the same period. Finally, the participants in the third group (control group) will receive instructions for performing exercises at home via a leaflet without receiving any additional treatment. The subjective perception of pain with the Numeric Pain Rating Scale (NPRS), active range of motion (AROM) of knee flexion with a goniometer, functional ability with the Knee Injury and Osteoarthritis Outcome Score (KOOS), quality of life with the Western Ontario and McMaster Universities Arthritis Index (WOMAC), balance using the Timed Up and Go (TUG) test and Berg Balance Scale (BBS), center of mass displacement with a force platform, and knee proprioception through the calculation of joint position sense using the joint repositioning test will be assessed at the beginning of the intervention (4 weeks post-surgery), at the 6th week, and six months post-intervention. For the statistical analysis of the results, a two-factor analysis of variance with repeated measurements will be applied, with the statistical significance level set at p < .05.
Among knee degenerative osteoarthritis patients aged 50 or older, it will prove the therapeutic effect and safety of Nexsphere-F embolization for patients who need additional treatment because pain is not controlled even if conventional treatments are taken.
