Active clinical trials for "Osteoarthritis"

This is a prospective, multi-center study, designed to assess mid-term performance of the MOTO Medial® Unicompartmental Knee Arthroplasty (UKA), with patient report outcomes, clinical findings and radiographic analysis.

This study will compare the accuracy and patient reported outcomes between four different techniques used to perform a knee injection.

Sixty patients with a diagnosis of knee osteoarthritis, aged between 40 and 80 years, of both genders were included. The patients were divided into: experimental group that carried out an educational program - 5 consecutive sessions held once a week, with a duration of 60 minutes each class and at the end of the last class, a booklet was delivered for each patient with all the contents of the classes and the Transcutaneous Nerve Electro-Stimulation device - being performed twice weekly, for 5 weeks for 40 minutes each session; and control group who only underwent treatment with the Transcutaneous Nerve Electro-Stimulation in the same parameters as experimental group. The evaluations were performed at the beginning of the treatment, 4 and 12 weeks after the beginning of the treatment using a numerical pain scale; WOMAC; IDATE and SF-36 questionnaires; and 6-minute walk test.

Evaluate the accuracy of physical therapy in various positions after 4 weeks of training, comparison of the accuracy in rehabilitation exercise between mobile application actuated rehabilitation exercise guidance and routine rehabilitation exercise guidance for the primary osteoarthritis knee patients

This research is being done to see if there is a difference between two different spinal anesthetics (Mepivacaine vs. Bupivacaine) as it relates to reducing post-operative complications and the time it takes for subjects to regain mobility after surgery.

A RCT (randomized controlled trial) comparing 3 different TKA (total knee arthroplasty) implant designs and investigating the relation between patient satisfaction and the implant geometry.

The aim of this study is to test if an extract of Turmeric can alleviate symptoms of osteoarthritis in volunteers with osteoarthritis of the hip and or knee.

Given the lack of studies in the literature associating the use of acupuncture and sliding suction cup in patients with advanced knee osteoarthritis, the objective of this study is to evaluate the benefits of this association in patients of the Institute of Orthopedics and Traumatology outpatient clinic of the University of São Paulo while awaiting surgical treatment of knee osteoarthritis as a method of pain relief, limb function improvement and quality of life.

The purpose of this study is to determine if a 4 month resistance exercise program can reduce knee osteoarthritis pain functional impairment and cartilage turnover.

Purpose: The purpose of this study is to demonstrate if the intra-articular injection of a new viscoelastic Hydrogel (Hymovis) is superior to Placebo (phosphate buffered saline [PBS] in subjects with symptomatic osteoarthritis of the knee.
