Active clinical trials for "Osteoarthritis"

The purpose of this study is to compare the early migration and periprosthetic bone changes of two cemented total knee arthroplasties with different tibial stem design. Only the tibial prostheses plateau varies in that one is an wedge-shaped stem and the other is a I-shaped stem.

The purpose of this study is to compare the early migration and the periprosthetic bone changes of cemented versus non-cemented interphalangeal implants using Roentgen stereophotogrammetric analysis and dual energy x-ray absorptiometry (DEXA). Furthermore, a thorough occupational therapist evaluation on the functional progress prior to and after surgery will be assessed.

This is a single-center, randomized control trial The aim of this study is to compare PRP with placebo as the treatment of knee OA Conducted at Puri Raharja Hospital Bali in January-June 2022 Sample consisted of 106 patients with knee OA grades 2-3 Kellgren-Lawrence, randomized into PRP group and placebo group Samples were injected with 2 ml PRP or normal saline twice at one-week interval The severity of knee OA was assessed by Western Ontario and McMaster Universities Osteoarthritis Index (WOMAC) before injection and two weeks after the first injection.

The study will be a randomized control trial and will be conducted in Pakistan Railway Hospital Rawalpindi. A sample of 60 participants will be taken. Patients will be divided into two groups (A&B) of 30 participants in each group by sealed envelope method. Hot pack will be applied to both groups for 15 minutes at the start of intervention. ERGON Technique(IASTM) will be applied to group A along with strengthening exercise. Proprioceptive Neuromuscular Facilitation (PNF) stretching will be given to group B along with strengthening exercise. A 35 minute session will be given to the patients and 3 sessions will be given once a week. Intervention will be given for 6 weeks. The outcome measure will be Visual analog Scale (VAS), Western Ontario and McMaster Universities Arthritis Index (WOMAC), and Active Knee Extension Test (AKE) will be measured at baseline and at the end of 6th week. Data will be analyzed by SPSS 22.

In the past years several shoulder reconstruction systems with different types of prostheses and fixation methods have been developed to improve shoulder arthroplasty, trying to cover a wide range of pathologies and revision situations. The aim of the present study is to report radiological and clinical outcome with a stemless shoulder implant with hollow screw fixation.

This is a randomised control trial comparing two different prosthetic designs used in total knee arthroplasty. Participants were randomised to receive either of the two prostheses and then were followed up of a period of 7 years, looking at pain, range of motion and impact on quality of life. The literature and joint registry of Australia shows that one of the prosthesis may be inferior to the other. Our research team hypothesised that this was not the case and that previous elicited differences were related to other factors.

This study is a Non-funded, Single Center, Multi-Arm, Parallel Group Randomize Control Trial. In this study, the investigators aim to evaluate the impact of a visual aid on patient comprehension an orthopedic informed consent discussion in low socioeconomic populations. The primary outcome is patient comprehension measured by a Validated Knowledge-Based Multiple Choice Questionnaire. The secondary outcomes include: Patient satisfaction and Time efficiency. The investigators hypothesize that using an Anatomic Model Visual Aid during an orthopedic informed consent discussion will improve patient comprehension, satisfaction and time-efficiency of orthopedic care.

The purpose of this study is to compare the exercise protocol called "Siriraj home base exercise program for OA knee" to usual care and physical modalities for conservative treatment in patients with 1st OA knee.

A clinical trial of total knee system used in Primary Total Knee Arthroplasty in China.

Osteoarthritis is the most common form of arthritis worldwide. Specifically, osteoarthritis of the hands affects millions of people and is a major cause of hand disability and pain. Despite this, there are currently no treatments that delay or halt the development of osteoarthritis. Pain is one of the major symptoms of osteoarthritis and pain management is an important factor to consider in the treatment of this condition. Treatments for pain in osteoarthritis consists of local injections, anti-inflammatory gels or painkillers such as paracetamol. However, most people with osteoarthritis still have pain despite these treatments.
