Active clinical trials for "Osteoarthritis"

The purpose of this study is to see if using a device called the Resonator, that puts out very low level electromagnetic fields will help symptoms of painful hip(s)

This study will test the effectiveness of CF101 in treating the symptoms of osteoarthritis (OA) of the knee. Eligible patients will be given either CF101 or matching placebo tablets and their symptoms will be evaluated over the 12 week treatment period.

Methodology: This study will be a randomized, multi-center evaluation comparing N2vac polyethylene inserts and patellas with X3 inserts and patellas when used in the Triathlon PS total knee system. Study Duration: 12-18 month enrollment period + 10 year follow-up for each case years total duration Multi-centre study Objectives Primary: To compare the 10 year implant survival of the Triathlon PS total knee system when X3 polyethylene components are used to the same knee system when N2Vac components are used. Secondary: To compare pain, function, radiographic outcomes, and health related quality of life of subjects in both treatment groups. Safety will be assessed by comparison of adverse events between the groups. Number of Subjects 384 cases (197 each group)

To prove that the efficacy and safety of Mucosta® (Rebamipide) is non-inferior to those of Cytotec® (Misoprostol), in terms of prevention of NSAID-induced gastric ulcer.

The goal of this study is to prevent blood clots from forming during surgery and a few days after total knee replacement surgery. This study will help us identify whether using a blood thinner in the operating room will stop blood clots from forming during the operation.

This is an observational study to understand the effects of soft-tissue balancing on gait, function and rehabilitation potential after sensor-assisted Total Knee Arthroplasty

Over 100 million Americans report chronic pain. One of the most common causes of chronic pain is osteoarthritis (OA). OA is attributable to "wear and tear," but reasons for pain are complex. Inflammatory arthritis (IA) includes multiple severe diseases that affect 2-3% of persons and require treatment with immune-suppressive drugs to prevent joint destruction. Pain often persists despite effective treatment. Pain in arthritis results from multiple sources: inflammation, perception of pain in the joint, and interpretation of pain by the brain. Unfortunately, management of pain in arthritis remains a challenge. Low dose naltrexone is a widely used but unproven "alternative" approach to chronic pain. It is attractive for study because it is safe and is proposed to work on all three pathways that contribute to pain. A small but high-quality clinical trial is needed to determine whether to invest in definitive studies.

The purpose of this study is to determine the dose effect of a single injectable acellular amniotic membrane derived allograft injection for the treatment of knee osteoarthritis and to confirm whether the use of 2 mL of the same amniotic injection offers a statistically significant advantage over the 1 mL injection.

This study evaluates function, quality of life and development of hip- and knee osteoarthritis minimum 15 years after unilateral femoral lengthening on people with idiopathic or post-traumatic anisomelia.

The main purpose of this study is to look at whether meditation techniques can help reduce pain and opioid use after surgery.
