Active clinical trials for "Osteoarthritis, Hip"

The aim of this project is to explore if monitoring physical activity including feedback can have any effect on physical activity level, function, work ability, health related quality of life or work productivity among individuals with hip and/or knee osteoarthritis. This will be performed by evaluating the use of mobile technology and activity monitoring to support physical activity in individuals with OA in a cluster randomized controlled trial. The investigators research questions are: • Can an intervention, comprised of the above mentioned technology, have any effect on physical activity level, function, work ability, quality of life or work productivity among individuals with OA?

The study was designed to compare the clinical outcomes of a home-based rehabilitation program using a novel digital biofeedback system against conventional home-based rehabilitation after total hip replacement This system allows the patients to perform independent rehabilitation sessions at home, under remote monitoring from the clinical team. The investigators hypothesise that the clinical outcomes of a home-based rehabilitation program will be at least similar to the outcomes of a traditional home-based rehabilitation with face-to-face sessions. This is a single-center, prospective, parallel-group pilot study with active comparator. Patients will be enrolled pre-operatively and then divided into 2 groups: experimental group and conventional rehabilitation group. Both groups will perform an 8-week rehabilitation program starting between day 7 and 10 after surgery. The experimental group will perform daily exercise sessions at home using the system, under remote monitoring from a physical therapist. The conventional rehabilitation group will perform 3 home-based rehabilitation sessions per week, each with 1h duration, given by a physical therapist. Outcomes will be measured at weeks 4 and 8 and then at 3 and 6 months. The primary outcome is the change in patient performance measured by the Timed-up-and-Go (TUG) test between in comparison with the pre-operative score. Secondary outcomes will be measured in terms of: a) Hip Osteoarthritis Outcome Score (HOOS); b) range of motion of the hip joint (lying flexion/abduction; standing flexion/adbuction/hyperextension)

A pilot study to evaluate changes in hip function and pain in patients with osteoarthritis receiving the ReNu™ Hip Injection.

The objective of this study is to verify the superiority of 16 weeks of MT-5547 treatment to placebo, as evidenced by the WOMAC pain score (the efficacy outcome measure), in patients with osteoarthritis of the knee or hip. Additional objectives of the study are to investigate the efficacy, safety, and pharmacokinetics of MT-5547 in long-term use.

The current management of osteoarthritis is based on non-pharmacological and pharmacological means which include intra-articular injections. The recommendations on the management of hip osteoarthritis stipulate that intra-articular injections of corticosteroid may be considered in patients with an exacerbation not responding to oral treatments. Several recent studies show the effectiveness of intra-articular corticosteroids compared with anesthetics. The intra-articular injection of viscosupplementation alone has never been validated in this indication since controlled studies did not show efficacy over placebo. At present, viscosupplementation is considered an anti-osteoarthritic symptomatic slow-acting and its interest is not yet established in hip osteoarthritis.

This study will involve a quantitative assessment of prospectively collected computed tomography, radiographic and patient outcomes data from multiple centers. Specifically looking at acetabular cup placement during Total Hip Arthroplasty by either traditional or robotic-arm assisted placement.

The purpose of this study is to investigate the effects of balance training in patients with THA until 26 weeks postoperatively. Thirty-two patients with hip osteoarthritis who were candidates for THA were recruited to the study. Sixteen patients with THA completed the study protocol and the patients were randomized into 2 groups: conventional rehabilitation (CR, n=8) or conventional rehabilitation plus balance training (CR + BT, n=8) groups. The patients were evaluated by hand-held dynamometer, single leg stance test (SLST), Tetrax balance system, Harris hip score, lower extremity function scale, 5 times sit-to-stand test and 50 foot timed walk test preoperatively and in the 8th, 14th and 26th weeks postoperatively.

There are ongoing debates on the effects of the surgical approach on outcome after total hip arthroplasty. It was hypothesized that with the anterolateral approach, trauma to the abductor arm can be occured and related detrimental effects can diminish the post-operative outcomes. In this first randomized controlled trial in the literature on this subject, isokinetic performance and patient-reported functional outcomes were evaluated in patients undergoing total hip arthroplasty. with a posterior approach (PA) and a anterolateral approach (ALA), at 6 and 12 months postoperatively.

The purpose of this study is to evaluate the safety and effectiveness of the EcoFit Hip with implacross E polyethylene for total hip replacement surgery.

To evaluate the effect of platelet-rich plasma (PRP) injection on pain, function and quality of life in patients with hip osteoarthritis.
