Active clinical trials for "Arthralgia"

Peripheral neuropathy from paclitaxel is a cause for concern. This situation also affects the patient, family and healthcare professionals. All health personnel are responsible for its care. With this study, it will be possible to create evidence for nursing practices and increase the quality of life by relieving symptoms.

The present study is a randomized, placebo-controlled, parallel-group, double-blind (double-dummy) clinical study. Not more than 210 individuals will be screened, and considering a screening failure rate of 18%, approximately 168 participants will be randomized in a ratio of 1:1:1 to receive E-PR-01 (LD: 200 mg/day), E-PR-01 (HD: 400 mg/day), or placebo (400 mg/day). After accounting for a dropout/withdrawal rate of 15%, each group will have at least 48 completed participants with equal numbers of participants having knee and lumbo-sacral as index joint. The intervention duration for all the study participants will be approximately 90 days.

The quality of recovery after surgery is multi-factorial and includes both physical and mental factors. Persistent pain after surgery is a common problem after major surgery and can result in persistent opioid use. The investigators will be evaluating if the addition of a pain coach/councilor before and after surgery, through a tele health platform (LucidLane) can improve participant's recovery from major joint surgery.

A Randomized, Double-Blind, Placebo-controlled, Parallel Design Clinical Study to Evaluate the Effect of Different Doses of UC-II® Supplementation on the Range of Motion & Joint Discomfort in Healthy Subjects

This phase I/II trial studies how well dietary and exercise interventions work in reducing side effects in patients with stage I-IIIa breast cancer taking aromatase inhibitors. Anti-inflammatory Mediterranean dietary and bone strengthening exercise interventions may alleviate medication side effects such as joint and bone pain and protectively influence bone mineral density, improve heart functioning, and reduce risk of breast cancer recurrence in breast cancer patients taking aromatase inhibitors.

The first aim of this comparative, randomized, prospective, multicenter study is to evaluate the analgesic effect at 6 weeks of whole-body cryotherapy, compared to placebo cryotherapy, in patients suffering from arthralgia under aromatase inhibitor treatment for hormone-dependent breast cancer in adjuvant situation. The secondary objectives are to evaluate the tolerance of cryotherapy sessions and the evaluation of the impact of the cryotherapy sessions on the consumption of analgesics, the compliance of the treatment by anti-aromatases, the quality of life. The patient and investigator will be blinded to the treatment. Only the cryotherapist will have knowledge of the treatment group: Whole Body Cryotherapy group (Arm A), or Placebo Cryotherapy group (Arm B). Patients consulting for the follow-up of a breast cancer and presenting arthralgias under anti-aromatase will be included in the study after verification of the inclusion and non-inclusion criteria and collection of consent. The sessions will be performed according to the randomization arm as follows Whole body cryotherapy group: 10 sessions will be performed daily, over a period of 12 to 21 days. For each session, the patient enters a chamber at -85°C for 4 minutes 30 seconds. Placebo cryotherapy group: 10 sessions will be performed daily, over a period of 12 to 21 days. For each session, the patient enters a chamber at -85°C for 1 minute. Each patient will complete the BPI-SF and HAQ questionnaires 15 days +/- 7 days prior to the start of cryotherapy, at the 6 week, 3 and 6 month post-cryotherapy visit. Each patient will indicate the number of days of anti-aromatase therapy in the 6 months prior to inclusion and at 6 weeks, 3 and 6 months after cryotherapy. For this purpose, each patient will indicate the number of hormone therapy tablets taken in the 15 days prior to the inclusion visit, the 6 week, 3 and 6 month visit. Each patient will indicate the analgesic treatments used, classified in three categories: levels 1, 2 and 3 at the inclusion consultation and at 6 weeks, 3 and 6 months after cryotherapy (analgesics taken during the 15 days preceding the visit). The evaluation of the tolerance with the collection of the undesirable effects will be made before and at the end of each session by the professionals of the CryoMed. It will also be evaluated in the week following the end of cryotherapy during a telephone call.

This phase II trial tests how well Reishi mushroom extract works in treating fatigue and/or joint/muscle pain (arthralgias/myalgias) in patients with breast cancer on aromatase inhibitors. Fatigue and arthralgias/myalgias are common symptoms in breast cancer patients taking aromatase inhibitors (AI). Given the long duration of AI treatment for some women (up to 10 years), these symptoms can significantly impact quality of life and premature discontinuation of AIs, a beneficial medication. Reishi mushrooms are among several medicinal mushrooms that have been used for hundreds of years, mainly in Asian countries, to help enhance the immune system, reduce stress, improve sleep, and lessen fatigue. Reishi mushroom extracts have not been studied explicitly for treatment-induced arthralgias/myalgias, but have been shown to improve quality of life, muscular strength, pain, and flexibility. Information from this study may help researchers determine the effect of Reishi mushroom extract on fatigue and arthralgias/myalgias in breast cancer patients receiving an AI.

This study will provide information on the effectiveness of cryoneurolysis for patients with facet joint pain syndrome, and help to establish whether cryoneurolysis should be implemented in clinical practice for this patient population.

Sacroiliac joint fusion versus sham operasjon for treatment of sacroiliac pain. A prospective double blinded randomized controlled multicentre study.

This is a single-center, randomized, pilot study in adult subjects with facet mediated CLBP. Thirty (30) subjects are planned for initial enrollment and will be randomized 1:1 to receive ioveraº medial branch cryoneurolysis or radiofrequency ablation.
