Active clinical trials for "Joint Diseases"

Sponsor is conducting this post market clinical study to evaluate the safety and effectiveness of its PROFEMUR® Preserve Classic Femoral Stem. This type of study is required by regulatory authorities for all devices that have been approved in Europe (EU) to evaluate the medium and long-term clinical evidence. This study has been designed in accordance with MEDDEV2.12/2 (European Medical Device Vigilance System) rev2 and ISO (International Organization of Standardization) 14155:2011 guidelines.

The study is a single-center, retrospective and prospective, non-randomized, non-controlled and consecutive series post-market study. The purpose of this study is to confirm safety, performance and clinical benefits of the NexGen TM Augmentation Patella. The primary objective is the assessment of safety by analyzing implant survivorship. This will be established by recording the incidence and frequency of revisions, complications and adverse events. Relation of the events to implant, instrumentation and/or procedure should be specified. The secondary objective is the assessment of performance and clinical benefits by recording patient-reported clinical outcome measures (PROMs) as well as radiographic outcomes.

This study aimed to investigate the relationship between temporomandibular joint problems, head posture, tongue strength, and endurance with core stabilization.

It has been reported that excessive use of smartphones increases the stress on the cervical spine, and changes in cervical curvature and pain in the muscles around the neck are associated with the increase in stress. Studies have reported that smartphone users with addictions have neck pain (68%), upper back pain (62%), right shoulder pain (52%), left shoulder pain (46%), and right hand pain (46%). As a result of our study, the frequency of smartphone addiction and temporomandibular joint dysfunction and related factors in individuals with nonspecific neck pain were examined and the results we obtained will contribute to the literature.

The investigators are going to study all the patients who have undergone surgery at the MAZ hospital from 2019 to the present for knee replacement and hip replacement. The investigators want to analyze the results to see if applying the RICA clinical pathway results are better.

The aim of this study is to assess the relationship between the presence of overuse injuries and failure to control of movement in those areas. For this, participants will perform some tests related to movement dysfunction lumbar-pelvic area to check for faults in one or more movement planes.

The cause of temporomandibular joint disorders remains unknown. It is considered multifactorial and includes physical (peripheral) and psychosocial (central) factors. It has been showed an association: a steeper condylar path, flatter lateral anterior guidance, and habitual chewing on the symptomatic side. This finding argues the possibility of causation of some of these characteristics. This double blind longitudinal study aims to assess if the presence of one habitual chewing side could contribute to temporomandibular joint disorders over time. Method. Young adults with no signs or symptoms of TMD will be assessed. Participants with one chewing side (observed and interview); with steeper condylar path and lower lateral guidance angles will be considered consistent one side chewers, and this side will be considered more susceptible to suffer TMD. Mouth opening, hemispheric dominance and hemimandibular retrognathia will be considered as secondary pre-specified outcomes. Four years later, both TMJs of each participant presenting signs and/or symptoms will be evaluated according to DC/TMD.

Sponsor is conducting this post-market study to evaluate the clinical outcome and femoral bone mineral density (BMD) changes associated with the PROFEMUR® PRESERVE hip stem when used as indicated for primary total hip arthroplasty in patients with osteoarthritis of the hip joint.

Temporomandibular joint (TMJ) diseases or dysfunctions affects many patients. Surgical treatment is planned when non-invasive interventions have failed. Still, much is not known regarding aetiology of TMJ diseases and how and why the disease develops over time. The study aims to investigate synovial tissue, synovial fluid and clinical characteristics for patients with TMJ diseases or dysfunctions designated for surgery. Patient samples and clinical variables will be analysed in relation to TMJ diagnosis and related to surgical outcome. The study is a cohort observational study.

The aim of the study is to examine masseter and temporal muscle sections with Ultrasonography in this individuals depending on the origin of Temporomandibular Disorders.
