Active clinical trials for "Osteoarthritis"

Recent research in strength training physiology revealed that implementation of occlusion garments around the proximal aspect of the lower limbs in combination with low load strength training causes a reduced blood flow and thus providing a high metabolic stimulus, causing a training effect similar to high load training. This study will investigate the added effect of BFR focussing on functional outcome, pain-management and lower limb strength in patients with knee osteoarthritis. Therefore, 234 patiens will be divided into three equal groups (n=78), (control group, sham group and BFR-group) which will be subjected to a 12-week during standard strength training program, 2 times a week for 60 minutes. The first group, which will be submitted to low load resistance training commonly used in contemporary physiotherapy for OA, will serve as a control group whereas both the BFRT and Sham groups will objectify the additional value of implementing vascular occlusion in respective low load resistance training protocol.

The aim of the study is to compare the 6 months clinical outcome of the treatment with a single intra-articular collagen injection versus a single placebo (saline solution) infiltration in the infiltrative treatment of knee osteoarthritis. The evaluation will be performed through clinical, subjective and objective assessments.

The aim of the study is to evaluate safety, tolerability and clinical efficacy of a newly developed MesoCellA-Ortho tissue-engineered advanced therapy medicinal product in adult patients suffering with osteoarthritis and additionally burdened with other civilisation diseases such as type 2 diabetes and/ or obesity. The active substance of MesoCellA-Ortho consists of in vitro expanded autologous human adipose tissue-derived mesenchymal stem/ stromal cells (AT-MSCs) resuspended in carrier solution for intraarticular injections for individual patents.

Researchers want to find out more about the side effects of Bone Marrow Aspirate Concentrate (BMAC) and what doses of BMAC are safe for people.

The goal of this randomized clinical trial is to evaluate the effects of vibration on factors related to the risks of post-traumatic knee osteoarthritis and secondary anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) injury in individuals who have undergone anterior cruciate ligament reconstruction surgery (ACLR). The main objectives are to compare the effects of Standard rehabilitation vs. rehabilitation that includes whole body vibration (WBV) or local muscle vibration (LMV) on: Quadriceps muscle function Gait biomechanics linked to post-traumatic knee osteoarthritis development Patient self-report outcomes MRI indicators of knee joint health Landing biomechanics linked to secondary ACL injury risk Evidence-based return-to-physical-activity criteria Participants will be assigned to 1 of 3 groups (standard rehabilitation, standard rehabilitation + WBV, or standard rehabilitation + LMV) and will complete assessments of quadriceps function, gait biomechanics, landing biomechanics, functional ability, patient-report outcomes, and MRI 1, 6, and 12 months after ACLR. Researchers will compare the groups to see if vibration embedded in ACLR rehabilitation improves joint health outcomes.

This study is a pivotal study to evaluate the efficacy and safety of a single injection of autologous adipose-derived SVF produced using the GID SVF-2 device system for treatment of pain with concomitant improvement in function associated with osteoarthritis of the knee joint.

The purpose of this study is to investigate the safety and effectiveness of bone marrow aspirate concentrate (BMAC) in patients with moderate to severe osteoarthritis of the knee. BMAC provides a rich source of mesenchymal stem cells (MSCs) and is a stem cell-based therapy that has been reported to preserve or improve the structure of joints. The Angel System is the device used in this study to concentrate bone marrow from the patient and is intended to separate a mixture of blood and bone marrow and collect plasma rich platelets preoperative to a surgical procedure. The goal of this study is to identify whether BMAC can be an effective and safe treatment for patients with osteoarthritis of the knee.

This is a study involving people receiving care at the Michael E. DeBakey VA Medical Center, Houston Texas. We are studying people who have hand osteoarthritis (the most common form of arthritis that involves the hand) and testing treatments for the condition with the hope that we can help to improve hand pain as well as limit the damage that occurs related to the arthritis. People who choose to participate, are randomly assigned to one of two treatments, both expected to be helpful.

The aim of the study is to compare the 6 months clinical outcome of the treatment with a single injection of Homologous PRP versus single injection of placebo (saline solution) in the infiltrative treatment of knee osteoarthritis in over 65 years old patients. The evaluation will be performed through clinical, subjective and objective assessments.

This randomized clinical trial (RCT) will evaluate 6-month outcomes following intra-articular injections for arthritis of the thumb carpometacarpal (CMC) joint by comparing corticosteroid plus local anesthetic versus saline (placebo) plus local anesthetic.
