Active clinical trials for "Joint Diseases"

The investigators propose to conduct a randomized blinded placebo-controlled clinical trial in patients with chronic TMD (N=20). Patients will be randomly assigned to receive either active treatment (caloric vestibular neurostimulation) or placebo. Data will be collected prior to and after treatment on thermal and mechanical pain thresholds, clinical signs and symptoms of TMD, and any adverse events.

The primary objective of this investigation is to evaluate survivorship at ten years. For this post approval study (PAS), a maximum acceptable hazard of revision is assumed to be a constant 1% per year.

The primary purpose of this pilot study is to evaluate the accuracy of cup placement between two instrumentation technologies: Cutting Guide and Conventional Instrumentation.

The purpose of this pilot study is to conduct research to determine the most effective physical therapy treatment for a condition called shoulder impingement. This condition occurs when tissue in the shoulder is caught between the humerus (arm bone) and the scapula (shoulder blade). This causes pain when one tries to reach overhead or behind the back. Two treatment methods will be used in the study. The first method uses the traditional treatments of hands-on shoulder stretching, shoulder exercise, posture, and education. The second method will use the traditional methods of shoulder treatment in addition to treatment of the cervical spine. It is hypothesized that a group of patients between 40 and 70 years of age with signs and symptoms of shoulder impingement who receive physical therapy to the cervical spine and shoulder will report a higher level of functioning, will report less pain, and will gain more range of motion than a group of patients receiving physical therapy solely to the shoulder.

MicroPort (MPO) is conducting this PMCF study to evaluate the safety and effectiveness of its EVOLUTION® BIOFOAM® Tibia and EVOLUTION® Cruciate Sacrificing/Cruciate Retaining (CS/CR) Porous Femur components, including EVOLUTION® CS tibial inserts. This type of study is required by regulatory authorities for all devices that have been approved in Europe to evaluate the medium and long-term clinical evidence.

This study will compare the effects of closed incision negative pressure dressing vs. standard of care silver dressing on lower limb swelling after bilateral primary total knee arthroplasty.

MicroPort Orthopedics (MPO) is conducting this PMCF study to evaluate the safety and efficacy of its THA and resurfacing components marketed in the EU. These types of studies are required by regulatory authorities for all THA and resurfacing devices that do not have medium to long-term clinical evidence available at the time of gaining approval to market in the EU. This study has been designed in accordance with MEDDEV 2.12/2 rev 2.

The objective of this clinical study is to evaluate the operative performance of the PEAK PlasmaBlade 4.0 during total knee replacement; to monitor and record post-operative pain, activity level, narcotic consumption, adverse events, and skin scarring following surgery; and compare these outcomes to the current standard of care (SOC).

The purpose of this study is to evaluate the design and functional performance of the Scorpio® Cruciate Retaining (CR) Total Knee System.

Total hip arthroplasty is the preferred treatment for hip disease (primary or secondary osteoarthritis, osteonecrosis, for example) and femoral neck fractures. HYPE SCS stems are intended to be used for primary total hip arthroplasties to reduce pain and restore joint mobility of the hip. Clinical data for HYPE SCS available are not deemed sufficient to support performance and benefits claimed on the whole lifetime of the product. Thus, in order to maintain compliance with the EU regulation (2017/745) relating to medical devices and following MEDDEV 2.7.1.guidelines, SERF has set up post-market clinical follow-ups (PMCF). This PMCF study aims to generate clinical data in order to confirm these performance of HYPE SCS Stem associated to NOVAE Sunfit TH acetabular cup. In the meantime, through complications faced over the entire period of the study, risks related to the implantation of HYPE SCS stems will be assessed at medium term (5 years). It should be noted that this patient cohort reflects the usual medical care of Hospital Center "J. Monod" of Flers.
