Active clinical trials for "Osteoarthritis"

The study will evaluate the performance, clinical benefits and safety of the Persona Revision Knee System in patients who have received primary or revision total knee arthroplasty (TKA) treatment. This will be done using a multicenter, single-arm, consecutive series, retrospective cohort study with prospective follow-up.

This is a prospective, multicenter, observational study with a planned follow-up period of 10 years to confirm the safety and performance of the GEMINI SL Fixed Bearing PS knee prosthesis in longterm follow-up under routine conditions. Primary outcome of the study is the 10-year survival rate of the GEMINI SL Fixed Bearing PS knee prosthesis with revision for any reason as the endpoint.

The aim of the study is to compare the clinical effects of treatment of knee osteoarthritis using adipose tissue mesenchymal stromal cells obtained by an enzymatic method with the outcomes of the therapy with the mechanically fragmented adipose tissue. Identification and functional analysis of the regenerative capacity of MSCs derived from the adipose tissue depending on three variables (body weight, sex and age) will help to develop a targeted therapy for different groups of patients and will determine the effectiveness of both methods of treatment. An attempt was made to identify the groups of patients with the greatest regeneration potential of the adipose tissue, and thus indicate those with the most probable improvement of the joint condition.

Since the need of finding effective disease-modifying anti-osteoarthritis (OA) treatments is still unmet, with this study the investigators aim to gather further evidences of the therapeutic potential of Mesenchymal Stem/stromal Cell (MSC) secretome in order to pave the way to its future use as a cell-free biological product. In detail, the investigators predict to validate the promising results obtained in vitro, ex vivo on osteochondral explants, an OA model more representative of the physiological situation.

The Investigators hypothesize that an early 2 week post-operative protocol will have no difference in the successful osseointegration and stability of the total ankle replacement as compared to a delayed 6 week post-operative protocol. The importance of the research is to allow patients who receive a total ankle replacement to bear weight 4 weeks earlier than the current protocol with no negative effect on the osseointegration and stability of the ankle replacement.

Objective: Identifying the dose of EVI-01 with the best clinical response, balancing the efficacy, safety, and tolerability of the investigational product. Study design: Interventional, dose-finding, three arms, randomized (1:1:1), parallel assignment, double-blind, controlled by an active comparator.

The study is a multicenter, retrospective and prospective, non-randomized, non-controlled and consecutive series post-market study. The purpose of this study is to collect long-term data confirming safety, performance and clinical benefits of the Anatomical Shoulder 2.0 Fracture System (Implants and Instrumentation) when used for fracture shoulder arthroplasty. The primary objective is the assessment of safety by analyzing implant survivorship. This will be established by recording the incidence and frequency of revisions, complications and adverse events. Relation of the events to implant, instrumentation and/or procedure should be specified. The secondary objective is the assessment of performance and clinical benefits by recording patient-reported clinical outcome measures (PROMs) as well as radiographic outcomes.

It is known that the global socioeconomic burden of individuals with knee osteoarthritis (OA) is on a constantly rising curve. In addition, it is predicted that this burden will increase with the increase in the aging rate of countries. While the evidence level of exercise in the treatment of individuals with knee OA is at A level, a standard exercise program has still not been established for these individuals. One of the most important elements in establishing a standard exercise protocol can be realized by understanding how exercise provides positive effects in these individuals. Today, the gold standard practice used in examining the effectiveness of treatments such as exercise is the follow-up of biomarkers. However, for this purpose, biological fluids (blood, urine, synovial fluid) samples are not taken from individuals with knee OA during routine health controls. Existing laboratory detection methods, especially ELISA analysis, are very detailed, time-consuming and expensive, among the reasons why they cannot be included in routine clinical practice. This situation makes it difficult to examine which biomarkers the exercise programs applied in individuals with knee OA have an effect on and to establish a standard exercise protocol. Therefore, the number of randomized controlled studies examining this issue is very few in the literature, and this number is much less in Turkey. The researchers aimed to create a standard home-based exercise program by examining the effects of the holistic exercise approach for all lower extremity muscles, which the researchers created considering the EMG studies in the literature for individuals with knee OA and the age group to be included in the study, both at the physical (pain, functional status, quality of life) and biochemical level (inflammatory biomarkers that have not been examined together before and whose relationship with OA has been newly discovered).

The study is being conducted to evaluate the efficacy, and safety of HRF2105patch in relieving pain of Osteoarthritis.

By recruiting knee osteoarthritis patients and treating them with melatonin, this study aims to determine the efficacy and safety of melatonin in alleviating pain in this patient population.
