Active clinical trials for "Osteoarthritis"

This is a small, pilot, pre/post evaluation study enrolling older Hispanic American adults with moderate knee arthritis to evaluate the feasibility of recruitment, retention and adherence after a multimodal 12-week, physical therapy intervention. The secondary aim is to evaluate preliminary estimates of change on physical performance and health related quality of life after the intervention.

The goal of this study is to demonstrate the clinical improvement and safety in patients treated with MONOVISC for ankle osteoarthritis. Specifically, this study will provide confirmation to the effectiveness and safety of MONOVISC at relieving ankle joint pain to 6 months post-treatment.

In this project, a web-based exercise program is developed in co-creation between specialized health care, the Norwegian Association for Rheumatic diseases (NRF) and a group of experienced patient representatives. The project emerges from the evidence that exercise is recommended as first-line treatment for patients with chronic diseases like hip- and knee-osteoarthritis (OA). However, the number of patients in need of targeted exercise will increase considerably the next decades, and their treatment needs cannot be fully handled within the health care system. Development of innovative and effective treatment trajectories and follow-up strategies is urgently required. Peer-support is recognized as an effective way to increase patients' long-term adherence to exercise. Thus, patient-organizations may be an unutilized resource in support and follow-up of patients who need long-term exercise as part of their treatment plan. After discharge from examination in hospital, patients with hip/knee OA will be recruited to follow-up in a novel web-based, peer-supported exercise program, and the feasibility of the intervention will be evaluated.

This was a randomized control Trial, conducted with two group of patients, one has received Balance and stability training on Biodex stability system along with conservative protocol of traditional exercises. the other group has received only conservative protocol of traditional exercises

We will conduct a large randomized controlled trial comparing the effectiveness and cost-effectiveness of Tai Chi mind-body exercise and standard-of-care Physical Therapy for Knee Osteoarthritis.

To compare the therapeutic effect of single intra-articular injection of hyaluronate with a single intra-articular injection of normal saline (placebo) for osteoarthritis of the ankle.

The purpose of this study is to assess the efficacy and safety of Hyalgan after proximal tibial osteotomy in treatment of knee osteoarthritis patients. Normally, OA patients who were treated with osteotomy will not be treated with any SYSADOA after operation, even though their cartilage's not completely loss, so osteotomy plus HA injection should provide more benefit to patients than osteotomy alone.

The purpose of the study is to assess the safety and efficacy profiles of new single-injection volumes of Durolane in patients with knee OA.

The purpose of this study is to determine whether MM-II is effective in the treatment of osteoarthritis, in direct comparison with an approved hyaluronic acid preparation.

This is the first study to test the effect of Tai Chi on pain from knee osteoarthritis in community-dwelling elders with mild cognitive impairment. If Tai Chi is effective in reducing pain, clinicians can use it routinely with this population; then elders can maintain their functional ability longer, and perhaps delay or prevent long-term care admission, and the investigators can save health care dollars.
