Active clinical trials for "Osteoarthritis"

Osteoarthritis is a degenerative disease that affects a growing proportion of the population. There is currently no treatment to halt this process. The aim of the research is in particular to find treatments targeting the molecular origins of osteoarthritis focusing especially on the inflammatory component of the disease. That is why research is looking to the development of preventive treatments like nutraceuticals. This project aims to determine the anti-inflammatory properties of sera of patients who received supplementation of their diet with an extract of grape and olive: the Oléogrape®SEED. Sera and synovial fluid will be collected during visits for hyaluronic acid injections in OA patients. These sera will be tested in vitro in a model of inflamed chondrocytes.

This study will document treatment effects, changes in quality of life, procedure complications, adverse events, healthcare resource utilization, and further needed intervention(s) following treatment with nSTRIDE autologous protein solution. This study will also allow for the documentation of the same parameters following multiple injections of autologous protein solution to treat knee osteoarthritis.

This registry is intended to evaluate the clinical outcomes of the DePuy P.F.C. Sigma PS150 RP Total Knee System. 200 participants will be enrolled prospectively or retrospectively and the follow up period will be 5 years. Data collection will include Radiographic Analysis, Knee Society Evaluation and Adverse Events.

The purpose of this study is to describe changes in vitamin D parameters before, during and after a well-defined elective surgical trauma (knee arthroplasty) and to compare these changes to other steroid hormones (testosterone and oestrogens). The hypothesis is that profound changes in free and total vitamin D will occur as a result of changes between intravascular vs extravascular protein compartments during surgical trauma.

A pneumatic tourniquet is often used during total knee arthroplasty. However, its effect on postoperative outcomes as soft tissue damage resulting in delayed recovery remains unclear. The purpose of the present study was to compare tourniquet use versus non-tourniquet use during total knee arthroplasty for short-term functional recovery.

The aim of this study is to assess safety and general performance of total hip arthroplasty, composed of a Meije Duo® femoral stem associated with a Dynacup® cup, and using the friction pair Biolox® Delta Ceramic.

This study is intended to gather medium (5- to 7-years) and long-term (minimum 8- to 10-years) information regarding the performance and safety of the commercially available 36mm CERAMAX® Ceramic on Ceramic (COC) Total Hip System from a cohort of study subjects that were previously enrolled in the IDE study. (COC = 36mm ceramic acetabular bearing insert component that articulates with a ceramic femoral head in the COC total hip replacement system)

The primary objective of this registry is to assess the functional outcome measured with the Knee Injury and Osteoarthritis Outcome Score (KOOS) for patients with medial unicompartmental osteoarthritis and osteonecrosis of the knee treated conservatively. The aim of the Focused Registry is to complete the data collection and enable a sound analysis for the Tomofix Small size study.

The purpose if the study is to determine whether improving sleep, especially slow wave or "deep" sleep, in older adults with osteoarthritis (OA) and insomnia reduces pain sensitivity and inflammatory responses to pain, and improves OA-related pain.

The treatment of osteoarthritis, a disease that eventually affects the majority of the older population, involves the alleviation of symptoms such as pain and stiffness, and the reduction of inflammation. A double-blind, placebo-controlled, crossover study will be performed to examine the effect of topical application of Elmore Oil, a herbal remedy (containing Eucalyptus oil, Tea tree oil, Olive oil and Vanilla), which has recently been reported to have anti-inflammatory properties, on the symptoms of osteoarthritis.
