Active clinical trials for "Osteoarthritis, Knee"

This is a pilot, double-blind, randomised trial that investigates which gait parameters are more sensitive following a single bolus injection of hyaluronic acid with mannitol, hyaluronic acid with sorbitol, or saline placebo for knee osteoarthritis. Outcome measures are gait analysis through a inertial sensors (Physilog), Knee Society Score (KSS), University of California Los Angeles (UCLA) activity-scale and EuroQol 5Dimensions. Follow-up will be of 4 weeks.

Adductor canal (AC) nerve block is a commonly used modality for postoperative pain control after total knee arthroplasty (TKA). When the adductor canal is viewed by ultrasound, the femoral artery and femoral vein can easily be identified, however, the nerve that is to be blocked is often not visible. For this reason, the femoral artery is used as a landmark for the block. There currently are no studies examining the optimal placement of the nerve block catheter relative to the femoral artery in the canal. The goal of this study will be to examine the relationship between nerve catheter tip location relative to femoral artery within the adductor canal for continuous AC nerve blocks. The investigators specifically will compare postoperative pain as well as incidence of vascular puncture during the procedure and time to complete the procedure for two different catheter locations.

This Prospective, Single-center, Pilot Study will assist in gaining an understanding of the actual CRFA lesions in an in vivo situation in areas where CRFA is utilized as a standard of care treatment option for the relief of chronic pain (cervical facet joints, thoracic facet joints, lumbar facet joints, Sacroiliac (SI) region, hip and knee).

This study has been designed to document the long-term outcome of the E1® Tibial Bearings used with the Vanguard® Knee System in 500 patients receiving total knee arthroplasty. All patients will receive the E1® Tibial Bearing in a Vanguard® knee replacement. Radiographic analysis and patient reported outcomes will be used as follow-up measures to track wear, mechanical performance, and patient satisfaction.

Hypothesis: Intraarticular injections of isotonic Xylitol solution will improve pain in patients with knee osteoarthritis (OA).

The objective of this study is to assess the medical and economic relevance of teleconsulting for Rehabilitation After Hip and Knee Surgical Procedures.

Stromal vascular fraction of cells (SVF) will be extracted from lipoaspirate by enzymatic digestion. SVF will be administered in a single dose intraarticularly 4 weeks after arthroscopic debridement. All patients will receive cell therapy.This is a single arm study with no control.

Introduction: The osteoarthrosis is incurable, one of the most incapacitating disease around the world and your prevalence is increasing every year. The main consequences of this disease is pain and loss of functionality as a result of biomechanical limitations coming from articular inflammation. Among the variability of therapeutic resources, we propose MatPilates like a no drug intervention, that probably will contribute for a decrease in the symptoms of this disease. Objective: It is hypothesized that MatPilates is a method capable of decrease pain and increase functionality in elderly woman with osteoarthrosis. Methods: This study is a randomized double blind clinical trial, in which the volunteer need be in between 60 and 69 years old. Will be formed of two groups: MatPilates Group (MG) and Control Group (CG), and the ideal "n" will be calculated in a pilot study.

The aim of this study was to evaluate the maximum tolerated dose of Mesenchymal Stem Cells (MSCs) from umbilical cord in the treatment of human knee OA

The investigators have created an interactive knee osteoarthritis (OA) risk calculator that estimates a user's risk of developing symptomatic knee OA as well as the user's risk for undergoing a total knee replacement (TKR) within their lifetime. To test the impact of the calculator, the investigators recruited OA-free subjects from Amazon's Mechanical Turk. Participants were randomized to either access general information about OA or use the risk calculator in addition to accessing general OA information. The investigators hypothesized that participants randomized to the risk calculator arm would have more accurate perception of their knee OA risk and would have increased willingness to change risky behavior compared to the general OA information group.
