Filter by:Prospective randomized double-blind controlled study. Participating patients with knee pain secondary to knee osteoarthritis will be randomized to either the DepoMedrol 40mg + 0.25% Bupivacaine (total Volume 5 ml) vs Morphine 3mg group+0.5% Bupivacaine (total volume 5ml) for their intra-articular knee injection. Before the injections, baseline values of NRS (Numerical rating scale) and WOMAC (Western Ontario and McMaster Universities Osteoarthritis Index) Questionnaire will be recorded by investigator. After the injections NRS and WOMAC will be recorded at 30mins and on discharge. Patient will be contacted by phone to assess the effectivity of block or any side effects on day 1, 7,30 and 45, information including NRS (at rest and household activity), WOMAC, supplemental analgesic, Side effects (pruritus, paresthesia, urinary retention, nausea, vomiting, dizziness, rash) will be obtained from the patient at the above time intervals. follow up visit will be scheduled 60days after the procedure for re-evaluation.
The goal of this observational study is to evaluate the diagnostic performance of the T2 mapping technique of the following 4 MRI scans in detecting hip chondro-labral lesions in comparison with intraoperative arthroscopic findings: 1) basal 3T MRI with T2 mapping technique, 2) 3T MRI with T2 mapping technique and limb traction; 3) 3T arthro-MRI with T2 mapping technique; 4) 3T arthro-MRI with T2 mapping technique and limb traction.
The goal of this phase III study is to evaluate the efficacy, safety, and tolerability of chondroitin sulfate 800 mg oral tablets versus placebo in the treatment of subjects with pain due to knee OA (osteoarthritis). The further aims of the study are to evaluate the durability of the treatment effect (up to week 36) and to gain further long-term safety and efficacy data (up to 48 weeks). The primary outcome of interest will be the effect of chondroitin sulfate on pain in the index knee at week 24 compared to placebo. The effect of chondroitin sulfate in the index knee functionality and the patient global impression of changes at 24 weeks compared to placebo are included as key-secondary endpoints. An additional key secondary endpoint will assess the durability of the effect on pain compared to placebo at week 36. Several additional secondary endpoints are included to further support the beneficial effect of the treatment and the improvements in patient's quality of life (i.e., Western Ontario and McMaster Universities Arthritis Index -WOMAC- subscales and total scores at each study visits, changes in patient's quality of life, use of rescue medication etc.) other than the safety of the product.
The investigators have found that their patients who get earlier rehabilitation following ligament reconstruction and tendon interposition (LRTI) surgery with interference screws have experienced better outcomes. The investigators hypothesis is that when formally comparing these patients who are exposed to the rehabilitation protocol earlier compared to later, the investigators will see statistically better outcomes.
A minimum of 50 patients with ankle end-stage arthritis will be randomized in two parallel groups for surgery. One group will receive a total ankle replacement through an anterior approach and the other group a total ankle replacement via a lateral approach. Patients will be evaluated for a mean follow-up of two years in terms of complications, implant survival and functional results. One of the primary objectives of the study is analyzing the safety of the lateral and anterior approaches for total ankle replacement.
The investigators have previously identified knee osteoarthritis patients with the combination of depression and an unhealthy weight may be an increased risk of more rapid joint degeneration and worsening pain. The GetHealthy-OA program combines a mind-body program with the oral supplement fisetin to potentially reduce the risk for this population by treating psychosocial, mechanical, and inflammatory mechanisms of knee osteoarthritis. This randomized clinical trial will compare the GetHealthy-OA program to minimally-enhanced usual care plus an oral placebo.
This is a prospective, randomized, single-blinded, multi-center trial comparing Kinematic Alignment vs Mechanical Alignment in TKA patients using patient reported outcomes, clinical and functional performance tests and radiographic analyses.
This multi-site study involving Northwestern Medicine, Beaumont Health, and Loyola Medicine seeks to answer the following question: do patients who undergo subscapularis (SSc) repair during reverse total shoulder arthroplasty (RSA) have better post-operative outcomes than patients who do not undergo SSc repair during RSA? The investigators hypothesize that patients who do not undergo SSc repair during RSA have better post-operative outcomes than patients who undergo SSc repair during RSA. This study will address the controversy surrounding SSc repair during RSA via a multi-institutional randomized controlled trial that will compare clinical outcomes of patients who receive SSc repair during RSA to those who do not.
This clinical investigation will be carried out as a randomized controlled trial conducted at the Northern Regional Hospital, Hjørring. This investigation will enrol 36 patients suffering from severe knee osteoarthritis pain, primarily from the orthopaedic ward at Hjørring Hospital, where potential participants will be identified during routine consultations. The RELEARN intervention consists of encephalography (EEG) neurofeedback of cerebral movement evoked signatures of pain, where the participants will be instructed in attempting to manipulate these signatures to reduce pain perception. This investigation is carried out to analyse the clinical performance and safety of the RELEARN neurofeedback software.
The purpose of this study is to determine which platelet rich plasma (PRP) injection dosage provides the most improvement in a patient's knee pain level at 26 weeks post-injection.
