Active clinical trials for "Osteoarthritis, Knee"

The purpose of the study is to demonstrate the superiority of topically administered 2PX versus placebo (vehicle) control in terms of reduction in pain intensity and physical function.

This study aims to compare the efficacy between Boonme stick exercise and quadriceps strengthening exercise in knee osteoarthritis.Patients diagnosed as knee osteoarthritis using Altman criteria will be randomized into 2 groups using simple random technique. Patients will be instructed and trained for both quadriceps or Boonme stick exercise by one-trained physical therapist. All patients will be treated with behavioral modification, NSAIDs and analgesic drugs and regularly follow-up . Assessment included visual analogue scale, exercise compliance, WOMAC and patient satisfaction were done by an assessor in a blinded fashion.

This study aims to evaluate various methods of measuring pain relief in subjects who have chronic OA of the knee. After a 1 week of wash-out from existing therapy, subjects will be treated in a blinded fashion for 1 week with either naproxen (3 days at 250 mg twice a day followed by 4 days at 500 mg twice a day) or placebo. After the first week of treatment, subjects will have another week of wash-out followed by a second period of 1 week of the alternate treatment. Subjects will not be allowed to use oral non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs) or other oral analgesics, or topical medications on their target knees during the study. Acetaminophen will be allowed as a rescue medication.

The purpose of this study is to verify the efficacy and safety of acupuncture treatments (Individualized, Standardized acupuncture) for patients with knee osteoarthritis (OA).

It remains unknown if a concomitant arthroscopic knee debridement would increase the benefits of surgery (quality of life and functional ability) for young active patients with medial compartment OA of the knee and varus alignmen. This additional procedure has a low incidence of morbidity and would potentially allow for treatment of meniscal tears and articular damage, as well as joint lavage to remove debris and inflammatory factors. A trial is needed to determine whether HTO with concomitant knee arthroscopy will result in better overall outcomes for this patient group.The objective is to compare the quality of life, functional status, pain, and swelling of patients who undergo an HTO with or without a concomitant knee joint arthroscopy to address additional joint pathology

251 consecutive patients with knee arthrosis were randomized to one of three interventions: Four weekly injections of 2 ml isotonic saline (placebo), 2 ml sodium hyaluronate (hyaluronan) or 20 ml isotonic saline (excessive saline). They all suffered from clinically and radiologically verified arthrosis of the knee with daily pain that did not respond to treatment with analgetics. Results were evaluated at weeks 1,2,3,4,8,12,16 and 26. Biochemical markers for bone and cartilage degradation were measured in urine/blood.

This is an early user evaluation of the robotic-assisted total knee arthroplasty platform. The objective of this surgeon group is to capture data on the defined objectives and provide Stryker with feedback.

To determine whether platelet-rich-plasma (PRP) or HA (hyaluronic acid)injection into synovitis in osteoarthritis(OA) knee can achieve improvement in knee function and reduce synovitis.

The purpose of this study is to determine the ability to assimilate and implement an integrated treatment program osteoarthritis of the knee, including the diagnosis and follow-up by a family physician in primary care clinics, combined with patient self-care training and physiotherapy program

The purpose of this study is to evaluate the clinical results after implantation of human umbilical cord blood-derived mesenchymal stem cells(hUCB-MSCs) and High tibia osteotomy in patients with medial compartment osteoarthritis(MCOA) as well as varus deformity of the knee joint. This study will prospectively evaluate 10 knees after hUCB-MSCs implantation and High Tibial Osteotomy(HTO) in the medial compartment osteoarthritis and varus deformity of the knee joint. Clinical outcomes will be evaluated using the International Knee Documentation committee(IKDC), Visual analogue scale(VAS), Western Ontario and McMaster Universities Arthritis Index(WOMAC), and patients satisfaction with the surgery.
