Active clinical trials for "Joint Diseases"

Randomized prospective study assessing suction drainage in total hip arthroplasty. Group without drainage, 50 hips, compared with group with suction drainage, 50 hips. Both groups will be asses clinically (ROM scale, VAS), laboratory and radiology (USG). In the actually literature there are no benefits using closed suction drainage after primary total hip arthroplasty.

Manual treatment involves techniques based on the principles of moving the joint faces and separating the joint gap, and soft tissues mobilization techniques. The use of manual therapy in hemophilia is gradually increasing although it previously described as a contraindication. The utility and use of strengthening exercises in hemophilia has been going on for a long time. In this study, the effect of manual therapy and strengthening exercises joint was investigated in hemophilic arthropathy of the elbow.

Physical therapy is one of the initial conservative treatments for TMD. Many studies and previous studies in our department have proved that it can improve the pain, mouth opening and mandibular function of patients with TMD. However, the current research on physical therapy for TMD has a short follow-up period, which cannot prove that the patients' long-term mandibular function has improved, and few studies have analyzed the relevant factors affecting the curative effect. Therefore, this study is intended to adopt a retrospective cohort study to include TMD patients who received physical therapy in our department from 2016.01-2021.12. The patients' pain, joint area noise, mandibular range of motion, mandibular function and other conditions will be followed up by remote telephone or online questionnaire, and the patients' demography, clinical symptoms, pain, oral habits, depression, anxiety, sleep status, head and neck posture and other information will be collected. The multiple regression analysis model will be used to compare and analyze the relevant factors affecting the prognosis of patients, and to intervene in advance the factors that have a significant impact on the prognosis of the disease, so as to improve the treatment effect.

This randomized, double-blinded, placebo-controlled trial sought to evaluate the efficacy of the iPACK block with Adductor Canal Block on postoperative pain, functional recovery and NLR and PLR levels.

In the postoperative period of a total knee arthroplasty, subjects present limitations of articular amplitudes, swelling, pain and functional limitations. Functional rehabilitation is unanimously recommended, including the use of cryotherapy. However, there is no consensus regarding the methods of application of cryotherapy. Thus the objective of the study is to compare 2 cryotherapy techniques associated with a classic rehabilitation on the improvement of mobility, swelling, pain and functional parameters. The 2 cryotherapies were a compressive cryotherapy and a so-called classic cryotherapy by cold pack.

The goal of this prospective cohort study is to evaluate the effectiveness of combined arthrocentesis and occlusal stabilization splint therapy in patients diagnosed with disc displacement without reduction of temporomandibular joint-induced closed locks. The main questions it aims to answer are: Is there a difference in the treatment response between chronic and acute closed-lock conditions? On which dimensions of pain did the treatment have positive effects? Participants will be preoperatively examined and assigned to one of the two study groups. All participants undergo a single session of TMJ arthrocentesis. Following the arthrocentesis session, all participants will use preoperatively fabricated occlusal splints. Participants will be recalled in one week to evaluate the outcomes. Researchers will compare acute and chronic closed-lock groups to see if there are differences between pain intensities and mouth-opening amounts postoperatively.

This trial is a post marketing clinical follow up study, aiming to evaluate the performance and safety of ORTHIX PLUS for pain relief in patients suffering from osteoarthritis or degenerative joint diseases. The study will involve 54 subjects, who will be enrolled in 2 centers in Turkey. The primary objective is to evaluate the overall performance of ORTHIX PLUS in providing relief in patients suffering from painful knee ostearthritis or degenerative joint diseases when used according to indications for use. The first secondary objective is to evaluate the overall performance of ORTHIX PLUS in providing relief when used according to indications for use, at different time points. The other secondary objective is to evaluate the overall safety during the study period.

Sacroiliac joint dysfunction is the changing of joint structure (ligaments, muscles and cartilage) that cause impairments and movement restrictions. It is one of the primary sources of low back pain among female population and often misdiagnosed. Almost 15-30% patients are suffering from sacroiliac joint dysfunction who presented with the complaint of low back pain. The aim of the study is to determine the effect of mulligan's mobilization with and without clamshell exercise on pain, disability and quality of life in patients with sacroiliac joint dysfunction.

The term temporomandibular joint disorder (TMD) refers to a group of disorders affecting the temporomandibular joint and/or muscles of mastication. Typical symptoms are; joint noises, pain, and limited mouth opening. Many therapeutic modalities have been advocated for the treatment of TMD as intraoral splints, laser, ultrasound, physical therapy, surgery, and medications with inconsistent reported results due to the multifactorial etiology of this disorder. Although intraoral splints are the most widely used therapy, it has some drawbacks as being inconvenient for the patient due to their relatively large size interferes with eating and affects speech, therefore their use is mostly limited to sleeping time, which decreases its effectiveness. Recently some commercial earplugs that claim to treat TMD have been introduced, however, there is no validated data regarding these appliances. Thus, this study aimss to evaluate the possible effect of earplugs on myogenous TMD.

Adipose-derived stromal vascular fraction cells (SVFs) include regenerative cell populations (hematopoietic cells, pericytes, endothelial cells and progenitors, stromal/stem cells) and thus are potentially important as new therapeutic tools for the repair and regeneration of acute and chronically damaged tissues. The general objective of this study is to evaluate safety and clinical efficacy of a single intra-articular injection of freshly isolated auto-SVFs for the treatment of patients with knee osteoarthritis (OA). This study uses autologous adipose-derived SVFs, as therapeutic agent and intra-articular administration, as a mode of delivery. Expected clinical effects: a treatment reduces pain, increases function and reduces stiffness in the knees of osteoarthritic subjects.
