Active clinical trials for "Arthralgia"

Nuclear factor erythroid 2-related factor 2 (Nrf2) is an important regulator in the body. It controls how well cells protect themselves against stress. PB125 (Pathways Bioscience) is a plant based activator of this important regulator Nrf2. PB125 is made up of three plant extracts (rosemary, ashwagandha, and Sophora japonica) so that it contains these things; 1. Carnosol, 2. Withaferin A, and 3. Luteolin. Carnosol comes from rosemary leaves. Rosemary is a spice often used in Italian foods and grown in many herb gardens all around Fort Collins. Withaferin A comes from the medicinal plant Withania somnifera, also called ashwagandha. Ashwaganda is commonly known as "Indian Winter cherry" or "Indian Ginseng" and it is one of the most important herbs of Ayurveda (the traditional system of medicine in India) used for millennia. Finally, luteolin is found widely in plants including those present in the diet (peppers, onions, celery, herbs/spices). Some people purchase these herbs commercially, and take them on their own for a variety of purposes. Typically, when you buy them, they will be in much higher doses than they are in PB125. What makes PB125 different is that very low doses of each of the 3 components work together-synergistically-to activate Nrf2 and increase the ability of cells to respond to stress. It is unknown if there are any benefits to taking PB125 and the risks are currently unknown. The purpose of this study is to examine changes in muscle, in joint pain, in mobility (standing and walking) and in leg strength that occur after consuming PB125 every day for 3 months. We want to make these measurements in people who have been diagnosed with mild to moderate osteoarthritis-a degenerative joint disease-in their knees.

The purpose of this study is to determine whether the use of lumiracoxib in this particular population is associated with a decrease in glomerular filtration rate (GFR) compared to diclofenac; and to compare the magnitude of such impairment, if any, associated with use of lumiracoxib and diclofenac.

Objective: The objective of this study is to compare the efficacy of TENS (transcutaneous electrical nerve stimulation) therapy with those of the conventional radiofrequency and pulse radiofrequency therapies. Design: A single-blind randomized controlled trial Setting: An outpatient physical therapy and rehabilitation clinic Subjects: The study included 60 patients who presented with a complaint of chronic low back pain prevailing at least for 3 months and who were diagnosed with facet joint syndrome. Interventions: The patients were randomized into 3 groups so that Group 1 (n: 20) patients would receive conventional radiofrequency therapy, Group 2 (n: 20) patients conventional TENS procedure for 15 days and Group 3 (n: 20) patients pulse radiofrequency therapy. Main measures: The patients were assessed before treatment, and at month 1 and 6 for pain (visual analogue scale), disability (Oswestry Disability Index), lumbar movements (hand-floor distance), functional status (20-meter walking times, 6-min walking distances), quality of life (Short Form 36), and depression (Beck Depression Inventory).

This study is designed to evaluate the effectiveness of a proprietary nutritional supplement that contains Krill Oil (KO), astaxanthin (AX) and hyaluronic acid (HA) to reduce pain and discomfort in participants, compared to an inert placebo (palm oil) control and to a positive control (glucosamine-chondroitin). The purpose of the study is to determine if the combination of KO, AX, and HA will benefit participants with joint pain.

Intra-articular, prearthritic hip disorders (PAHD) result in substantial dysfunction in young adults and are proposed precursors to hip osteoarthritis (OA). Effective treatment of PAHD is needed to improve function in the young adult and prevent or delay the onset of hip OA, however evidence related to treatment of PAHD is limited. This research will provide the foundation for a future clinical trial to assess the efficacy of movement pattern training, an innovative rehabilitation approach for the treatment of PAHD.

Chronic neck pain is a common disorder for spine specialists. Radiofrequency ablation of medial branches has been proven effective in selected patients for relieving pain. A newer radiofrequency ablation cannula has been developed (multi-tined), allowing perpendicular access. It is proposed as an alternative to the more technically challenging traditional approach. This study aims to compared the technical and clinical aspects of both techniques.

A gap of knowledge exists on the understanding of the acute effects of stabilization exercises on pain, disability and physical performance when applied after radiofrequency denervation. Therefore, the main objective of this study is to show the effects of stabilization exercises when started in acute period and also reduce the frequency of recurrence low back pain of patients with FJS after radiofrequency denervation.

The main aim of this study is to determine the effects of short-term treatment with hesperidin on COVID-19 symptoms in comparison with a placebo. Treatment effects will be observed through a symptoms diary that will be completed by participants throughout the study and by taking the oral temperature daily.

Assess the safety and functionality of the Freedom Knee® system through a multi-center clinical trial. Study endpoints include a comparison of Pre-Surgery versus Post-Surgery data for: Range of Motion Quality of Life measurements using Knee Society Scale (KSS) Survivorship as defined by 'No Revision' of baseline implant Quality of Life measurements using the WOMAC Score

The study is designed to investigate the effect of physical surroundings on the effect of exercise therapy for knee and hip pain.
