Active clinical trials for "Arthralgia"

Prospective study to analyse pain reduction with two types of canulae and two types of placements for lumbar medial branch radiofrequency denervation.

The purpose of this study is to evaluate the effectiveness (level of pain control) and safety of the administration of 2 different dose levels of tapentadol (CG5503) compared with oxycodone and with placebo in subjects who have had a bunionectomy.

The purpose of this study is to evaluate in patients who are eligible for elective primary total or partial joint replacement of the hip or knee due to chronic osteoarthritis the efficacy (level of pain control) of CG5503 over 5 and 10 days compared with placebo, and to assess the safety and tolerability of multiple doses of CG5503 IR patients.

The purpose of this study is to evaluate the effectiveness (level of pain control) and safety of the administration of 3 different dose levels of CG5503 compared with oxycodone and with placebo in patients who have had a bunionectomy, and to assess the safety of the drug for 9 days after patients are discharged from the hospital.

The study will assess running biomechanics and joint inflammation of physically active males between 40 and 60 years of age, mainly runners, suffering from knee joint inflammation and pain after training. Participants were split into two groups, intervention and placebo, to evaluate the safety and efficacy of Exten(d) supplementation during 4 weeks.

This study aimed to investigate the effectiveness of Kinesio taping (KT) on playing-related pain, upper extremity and hand function, grip and pinch strength in violin players. One hundred seventeen participants who were professional violinists for at least two years were randomized to receive either therapeutic tape application (KT group), a sham tape application (placebo group) or no application (control group) for one week. The primary outcome was the Disabilities of the Arm, Shoulder and Hand (DASH) in one week. The secondary outcomes were the Visual Analogue Scale (VAS), the Purdue Pegboard Test, grip and pinch strength. Outcome measures were performed at baseline, immediately after the intervention, and one week later (follow-up). Participants were asked to play the "Violin Concerto No.2, Op.35", and pre-and post-performance pain and grip and pinch strength were assessed.

Musculoskeletal pain is a common affection due to ageing, sedentarism and intense exercise practice causing acute and chronic injuries. The main objective of this trial is to prove efficacy of a natural topical composition containing Arnica montana, Hypericum perforatum, Calendula officinalis, Melaleuca sp. and menthol in pain management in adults with acute or chronic pain. This randomized, double-blinded and placebo-controlled trial will include 200 patients with musculoskeletal pain, 100 in the intervention group receiving the topical formula and 100 in the placebo group, who will receive a similar formula without active ingredients. The products will be applied topically twice daily for 14 days in areas with moderate or severe pain. The study objectives are immediate and long-term pain alleviation, stiffness perception joint mobility, and general recovery perception.

Painful symptomatic osteoarthritis (OA) of the knee is a very common disease, especially in older people (lifetime prevalence 9.5%). Current systemic pharmacological treatment options are limited. Many patients presenting with knee osteoarthritis are of an advanced age and suffer from various co-morbidities. The benefit of the available systemic pharmacological treatment options in these patients can be summarized as uncertain. Therefore, the investigation of new symptomatic systemic pharmacological treatment options for knee OA is relevant. Even in patients without known contraindications, the treatment period with non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs should be kept short. It follows that the investigation of new potentially anti-inflammatory substances is of interest in symptomatic OA of the knee. Cannabidiol has anti-inflammatory and analgesic properties in animal models. We therefore propose a randomised, double-blind, placebo-controlled clinical trial to investigate the potential efficacy of cannabidiol in painful symptomatic OA of the knee.
