Active clinical trials for "Osteoarthritis, Knee"

Evidence has shown that knee osteoarthritis causes an increase in base of support and a decrease in stride length and gait velocity which results in an increase in energy expenditure during walking. This increase in energy cost of walking is suggested to result in walking related performance fatigability. However, fatigue is not commonly considered in the clinical settings in term of neither assessment nor management of knee osteoarthritis. One common tool used to evaluate walking relate performance is six minute walk test and the purpose of this study is to determine the reliability of using six minute walk test to determine walking related performance fatigability in persons with knee osteoarthritis.

Ganymed Robotics develops a novel solution of surgical navigation to assist surgeons during knee remplacement surgeries. The aim of this study is to train and validate this novel algorithm.

This is an Individual Patient Expanded Access IND of autologous adipose derived Mesenchymal Stem Cells with the primary goal of treating 1 individual with bilateral knee pain who has exhausted all treatment options, his condition has not improved, and his quality of life is severely affected by the condition. There are no FDA approved, fully restorative treatments for his condition. The subject will receive 2 autologous HB-adMSCs intravenous infusion of 200 million (2 x 10^8 cells) total cells, and 4 autologous HB-adMSCs intra-articular injections (1 in each knee joint/ intervention).

The study will determine the survivorship of the fixed bearing P.F.C. Sigma knee with a cobalt chrome tibial tray at 5 years.

Evaluation of the Position HTO system in patients with unicompartmental medial arthrosis after open wedge high tibial osteotomy

Osteoarthritis is the most common joint disease affecting the joint in a comprehensive and progressive manner. It leads to increasing disability. The recommendations of recent years favor the non-pharmacological treatment of osteoarthritis including regular physical activity, therapeutic education and weight loss Osteoarthritis population has a low level of physical activity due to a lack of information, motivation and false beliefs related to physical activity and kinesiophobia (fear of movement) A preliminary qualitative study (ARTHe1) evaluating the barriers and levers of the use of an e-health therapeutic education application in patients with osteoarthritis was carried out in order to guide the development of the ARTHe application. The objective of this study is to have the application tested on a panel of patients in order to assess the benefits of using the application in terms of adherence to the practice of physical activity but also in clinical terms on function and pain, and the satisfaction of the patient

The innovative aspect of this research is the possibility of combining the data collected with radiostereometric model based Radiostereometry with the data collected through the Galeazzi Institute Registry.This opens the prospect of an earlier identification of patients undergoing prosthetic knee replacement with initial aseptic loosening.

The aim of the study is to translate and culturally adapt Western Ontario And MacMaster Osteoarthritis Index into Urdu language and to investigate its reliability and validity Pakistani population with primary knee osteoarthritis while assessing its correlation with Lequesne Index.

Rationale: Despite a large and growing disease burden in osteoarthritis (OA), many pharmaceutical companies have abandoned OA drug development. This is mainly due to the lack of appropriate outcome measures that can robustly identify patients that can benefit from a specific therapy. Different phenotypes of OA may benefit from different types of treatment. Therefore, novel markers to identify selected phenotypes of osteoarthritis may encourage drug development. Objective: To prospectively describe in detail pre-identified progressing phenotypes of patients with knee OA by use of conventional and novel clinical, imaging, and biochemical (bio)markers, and to validate and refine a predictive model for these (and new) progressing phenotypes based on these markers. Study design: APPROACH is an exploratory, European, five-centre, 2-year prospective follow-up, cohort study, with extensive measurements. In this study patients are treated according to regular care by their own physician with no study related treatment prescribed. Study related diagnostic and/or monitoring procedures are applied to the patients. Study population: Patients with tibiofemoral knee osteoarthritis, according to the clinical ACR classification criteria, pre-identified based on demographic (e.g. age), clinical (e.g. Pain NRS) and tissue structure (e.g. radiographic joint space width) parameters. Main study parameters/endpoints: Joint tissue structure based on radiographs, MRI, and biochemical (bio)markers as well as symptoms (pain, function) and quality of life by questionnaires. Secondary parameters: A multitude of (novel and conventional) clinical, imaging, and biochemical parameters related to osteoarthritis. Nature and extent of the burden and risks associated with participation, benefit and group relatedness: The participants will not have any direct benefit from their participation in this study other than that their OA is maximally diagnosed and followed in detail for up to 2 years (screening, baseline, 6 months, 12 months, 24 months).

The USAGE study aims at assessing on a long-term period (two years in average) the outcome in clinical or economical term of patients with knee osteoarthritis (OA) treated or not with Synvisc®, in the 1139.4 clinical trial.
