Filter by:The aim of this study is to assess the safety of Stemedica's mesenchymal stem cells in patients with knee osteoarthritis. The route of administration is intraarticular. Safety will be evaluated by AE/SAE incidence and administration tolerance. The subjects will undergo follow-up for 52 weeks. The target population is subjects with knee osteoarthritis (grade II-III in Kellgren-Lawrence scale).
A comparison of two Unity Knee™ tissue-balancing techniques by analysing the results from X-rays and patient questionnaires.
The researchers wish to investigate whether proton pump inhibitors, administered prior to or after surgery, can reduce the incidence and/or severity of difficulty swallowing foods and/or liquids,following anterior cervical surgery.
This study allows patients to take part of the decision making between a unicompartment knee (partial ) or a total Knee replacement . Using the measures of a decision aid questionnaire which explicitly details the risks and benefits of both procedures.The study will use subjective (reported by patient) and objective data (which will be measured) to allow the determination if one option is superior to the other. Information gathered from this study will be used to assist future patients in selecting the surgical option that best fits their life style. A feasibility pilot study of a randomized clinical trial will help to evaluate the outcomes of both procedures and help shape a multicentre Canadian study.
Evaluation of functional improvement after spa therapy in Fontcaude center, for knee osteoarthritis Background. Knee osteoarthritis is the first indication of spa therapy in rheumatology. This therapeutic represents a non pharmacological treatment and is recommended by OARSI. In order to obtain agreement for spa therapy, the center Fontcaude, needs to show clinical improvement for patients, as demonstrated in the Thermarthrose study. This center is near Montpellier and could improve patients localised in this area.
Previous clinical trials have demonstrated the human body's own healing and regenerative cells can relieve the pain of arthritis. Bone marrow contains stem cells which can change into cells of various different tissue types, while platelet rich plasma contains growth factors. Both techniques have been shown to relieve pain and with this study the Investigators wish to compare the two treatments.
The purpose of this study is to generate proof of concept human data by evaluating osteoarthritis outcome measures in arthritic patients that are prescribed Forteo® as the standard of care to treat their primary diagnosis of osteoporosis.
The purpose of this study is to test whether adding a treatment using pain neuroscience education (PNE) and coping skills training (CST) to usual care, in subjects with knee osteoarthritis and pain catastrophizing, who are scheduled for a total knee arthroplasty (TKA), is more effective than only usual care. There is a high evidence level of different systematic reviews, which support the efficacy of physiotherapy treatments combined with behavioural techniques aimed to reduce pain catastrophism, pain and disability in other pathologies. The primary aim of that kind of interventions is to help the subjects to reconceptualise its own pain understanding and its role on the recovery process, as well as promoting an increase of activity and encourage the subject to resume its usual activity instead of continuing to avoid it.
Osteoarthritis of the knee is one of the most common causes of disability among elderly. As the disease progresses the cartilage become frustrated, surrounding bone react to become thicker and inflammation occurs in subchondral bone seen in T2-weighted MRI as increase in signal density. Patients are treated initially by pain management. In patients who don't response to first line treatment invasive treatment like total knee replacement is done. The investigators designed this clinical study with the aim of evaluating therapeutic effects of intra-articular injection of bone marrow Mesenchymal Stem Cells (MSC) and stromal Vascular Fraction (SVF) in patients with severe knee osteoarthritis
The purpose of this study is to clarify the efficacy of a multidrug versus single drug periarticular injection when only standard operative and postoperative pain management protocols used and the control group is exposed to what our investigators believe is the standard of care, single medication periarticular injection
