Active clinical trials for "Osteoarthritis"

Knee osteoarthritis (OA) is a debilitating disease affecting millions of Canadians. Exercise is a core treatment for knee OA, and is advocated by all clinical guidelines. However, the safety of recreational running in the presence of knee OA is unclear. There are no studies available to provide direct data to appropriately inform runners and clinicians whether running should be advocated for joint health. Our research study will address this gap.

The purpose of this study is to determine the effect on hematological markers of nutritional intervention on nutritionally deficient patients following total joint replacement surgery.

This is a randomized controlled trial comparing the Comprehensive Nano stemless total shoulder arthroplasty (intervention group) with the Comprehensive un-cemented stemmed total shoulder arthroplasty (control group). All Danish citizens with glenohumeral osteoarthritis indicating a total shoulder arthroplasty referred to the orthopedic department at Copenhagen University Hospital in Gentofte will be offered participation in the trial. The following exclude from participation in the study: below 18 years of age; cognitive or linguistic impairment; insufficient function of the rotator cuff; poor bone quality and ASA group 4-5. A total of 122 patients will be included of which 56 will be part of radiostereometric analysis (RSA) study of humeral component migration. This will allow a maximum of 20% drop out. The primary outcome is magnitude and pattern of migration of the humeral component assessed by RSA. The secondary outcomes are patient-reported outcomes, functional outcome, readmission, complications, revisions, changes in bone mineral density (BMD) of the proximal humerus assessed by duel energy x-ray absorptiometry (DXA) and economy (cost utility analysis). To avoid bias in some of these outcomes, the patient will not know what type of humeral component was used. The patients are examined before the operation and 3, 6, 12 and 24 months after the operation.

Taping is a non-invasive technique that has been used for various musculoskeletal conditions, including knee OA. However, there is limited research on the effects of combination taping techniques on disability, functional capacity, and knee isokinetic torque in patients with knee OA.

This is a pilot cluster randomized controlled trial to to evaluate the individual and health system impacts of implementing a new physiotherapist-led primary care model for hip and knee pain in Canada.

The study will establish safety and efficacy of canakinumab and LNA043 in patients with knee osteoarthritis (OA).

The main objectives of this study are to confirm the long-term safety, performance and clinical benefits the Avenir Complete femoral stem and its instrumentation when used in primary total, hemi, and revision hip arthroplasty.

The purpose of this study is to measure the change in pain and function with subcutaneous injections of pentosan polysulfate sodium (PPS) compared with subcutaneous injections of placebo in participants with knee osteoarthritis pain. Study details include: The study duration will be up to 28 weeks per participant The treatment duration will be 6 weeks. The visit frequency will be twice weekly during treatment..

This is a prospective study to demonstrate the safety and effectiveness of CORI and to register CORI in China mainland.

A Double-blind, Multi-Center, Prospective, Randomized Placebo-controlled Pilot Study Evaluating Intra-articular Injection of Axolotl Ambient Compared to Saline in Subjects with Ankle Osteoarthritis. The goal of this pilot study and subsequent pivotal trial is to evaluate the safety and effectiveness of Axolotl Ambient intra-articular injection for ameliorating the pain and dysfunction associated with ankle OA.
