Active clinical trials for "Osteoarthritis, Hip"

The primary objective of the study is to evaluate the efficacy of fasinumab compared to placebo, when administered for up to 24 weeks in patients with pain due to osteoarthritis (OA) of the knee or hip. The secondary objectives of the study are: To evaluate the efficacy of fasinumab compared to non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAID)s, when administered for up to 24 weeks in patients with pain due to OA of the knee or hip To assess the safety and tolerability of fasinumab compared to placebo and compared to NSAIDs, when administered for up to 24 weeks in patients with pain due to OA of the knee or hip

Rehabilitation after primary knee or hip arthroplasty may include performing exercises with a physiotherapist. For patients who can work well with a computer, tablet or smartphone, it is now possible to use a mobile application (e.g. moveUp) to carry out a large part of the exercises more independently. This is done with online guidance by a physiotherapist via a mobile application that is CE marked in Europe. This study will investigate whether the effect of the mobile application on knee or hip rehabilitation and quality of life is equal to that of standard care (i.e. without the use of a mobile application).

Rationale of the study is to evaluate through a prospective randomized controlled study if a modified direct superior posterolateral approach (sperimental approach) to the hip articulation which entirely spares i.e. avoids the sacrifice of the fascia lata might elicit a better outcome in terms of gait, balance, strengths recovery, clinical performance, patient reported outcome measurement (Short Form-12(SF-12); Hip disability and Osteoarthritis Outcome Score (HOOS)) and overall recovery time in patients undergoing TotalHipArthroplasty with the aid of dedicated, modified instrumentation in order to properly access this modified route. The investigators expect an improvement on selected gait analysis parameters in sperimental approach in order of 2% of range of motion (ROM) recorded 1 month after surgery. Based on this assumption sample size calculation will be conducted.

A prospective randomized study comparing two types of cemented acetabular components, a highly-crosslinked polyethylene or conventional polyethylene in total hip arthroplasty. Primary outcome are component wear measured by RSA, secondary outcomes are migration and complications. Patients are evaluated 5 years postoperatively.

Physical activity like walking is one important way to reduce pain and improve wellbeing for older adults with knee and hip arthritis, but most older adults and particularly those who identify as African American struggle to walk regularly. Many African Americans with arthritis have worse outcomes (like worse pain, worse overall health) than other racial and ethnic groups for many reasons including racist policies and ideas that make getting good health care more difficult. It is therefore most important to identify ways to help older adults who identify as African American improve their arthritis pain and improve their daily steps. The current study is designed to learn about older African American's preferences for a brief behavioral intervention to increase daily steps and reduce pain, and to learn about the barriers (things that make walking harder) and facilitators (things that make walking easier) for walking that they experience. Interviews with both patients and healthcare providers will provide important information that will be used to adapt an existing behavioral intervention designed to help patients increase their daily steps and reduce their arthritis pain. The final adapted intervention will be tested in a small clinical trial with older adults who identify as African American to see if it can reduce pain and increase walking over time.

Tanezumab is a monoclonal antibody that binds to and inhibits the actions of nerve growth factor (NGF). The Nerve Growth Factor Inhibitor (NGFI) class may offer an important breakthrough in the treatment of chronic pain and is under clinical investigation for the treatment of pain associated with osteoarthritis or other chronic pain conditions. The primary objective of this study is to demonstrate superior efficacy of tanezumab 5 mg and 2.5 mg administered subcutaneously (SC) every 8 weeks versus placebo at Week 24 in subjects with osteoarthritis of the knee or hip. The 2.5 mg dose was shown to provide efficacy benefits with a favorable safety profile when administered intravenously in previous Phase 3 clinical trials. The 5 mg dose is expected to provide added efficacy benefit over the 2.5 mg dose based on data from previous studies.

Pain and reduced function are the most common symptoms of coxarthritis. Pain relief and normal range of motion (ROM) restoration are the objectives of a Total Hip Arthroplasty (THA) procedure. It is recognized that increased head-neck ratio results in increased ROM due to the fact that prosthetic impingement between neck and acetabular liner occurs with wider arcs of motion. This head-neck ratio has been investigated extensively only in vitro (on cadavers or sawbones) or using mathematical modeling in computer simulations. These studies are limited by the lack of soft tissues and muscle activations in the models. This study will clinically assess the effect of prosthetic head diameter on patient capability of performing movements which require extreme arcs of motion of the hip joint. Therefore, the research questions are: What role do soft tissues play in limiting ROM? Can prosthetic impingement really occur in a well positioned THA? Can a bigger head diameter alone reduce the risk of impingement?

In this prospective, randomized study, investigators will look at the outcome of total hip arthroplasty through the anterior approach in regard to the surgical treatment of the anterior hip capsule. At this time, there are 2 different techniques: one is excising this capsule and the second one is cutting the capsule and repairing it at the end of the procedure. The investigators set out to determine whether incising or repairing the capsule will benefit the patients in terms of postoperative pain level, range of motion of the hip joint, joint stability, surgical time and blood loss. Both preserving and excising the joint capsule are accepted techniques in performing total hip arthroplasty. The Investigators hypothesize that capsulectomy may allow for reduction in operative time, provide superior surgical exposure, and increased range of motion after surgery. The influence on post operative pain and dislocation rate is unknown.

To evaluate the efficacy and safety of platelet rich plasma (PRP) in patients with coxarthrosis who don´t respond to treatment with NSAIDs, compared to treatment with hyaluronic acid (Hylan G-F 20).

The primary purpose of this study is to evaluate the efficacy of a titration arm of tanezumab in which treatment is started at a lower dose (2.5 mg) and increased to a higher dose (5 mg) at Week 8, compared to giving 2 doses of tanezumab 2.5 mg or 2 doses of placebo. The study also evaluates the safety of the treatment regimens.
