Active clinical trials for "Osteoarthritis, Hip"

The purpose of this study is to test the efficacy and safety of 3 doses of tanezumab in osteoarthritis of the hip in patients

Osteoarthritis is the most common form of arthritis in the United States. It is estimated that 20 million Americans have arthritis, and the annual societal cost is $95 billion. Several exercise studies have shown modest improvements in disability, physical performance, and pain in subjects with knee osteoarthritis. While similar results have been suggested in hip osteoarthritis, well-designed randomized clinical trials have not been conducted. Exercise programs appear beneficial but without adherence, the beneficial effects of exercise for knee and hip osteoarthritis decline over time. A well-designed, evidence-based, arthritis-specific study controlling for exercise duration, frequency and adherence is needed. The objective of this study is to determine the effects of structured exercise programs on self-reported pain and disability in adults with hip osteoarthritis. This prospective, randomized study with a wait-list control is designed to develop preliminary data to support an R01 funding request for a large, randomized clinical trial. All exercise interventions and outcome assessments will take place at OHSU in the Orthopaedics and Rehabilitation Clinics, Rehabilitation Services physical therapy gym, and the General Clinical Research Center. Subjects will be selected to include individuals representative of the larger population with documented hip osteoarthritis. This three-month study will evaluate the effects of an aerobic and resistance exercise program on pain and disability in individuals with hip osteoarthritis. Outcome assessment will follow the Outcome Measures in Rheumatology (OMERACT) recommendations for a core set of outcome measures for clinical trials in arthritis and assess pain, physical function, patient global assessment, and joint imaging. Data analysis will focus on comparing pre- and post-intervention endpoints using conventional statistical analyses such as repeated-measure analysis of variance for repeated continuous measures (e.g. walking distance), and non-parametric methods such as Chi-square or frequency analysis for proportions (e.g. visual pain scores).

The purpose of the study is to evaluate the effect of manual treatment and a patient education programme for patients without indication for hip surgery.

The purpose of the study is to explore the short term effects of chiropractic care on pain and function in patients with hip osteoarthritis.

The purpose of this study is to compare the long-term safety and effectiveness of acetaminophen (4000 mg per day) and naproxen (750 mg per day) in the treatment of osteoarthritis of the hip or knee.

In this work the investigators will study the relationship between chronic musculoskeletal pain and abnormal blood flow (neovascularity) around the shoulder, hip and knee. Veterans with as history of chronic shoulder, hip or knee pain and mild/moderate joint degenerative changes will be potential study subjects. Blood flow around joints will be evaluated using perfusion magnetic resonance imaging (MRI). Participants with demonstrably abnormal blood flow around their painful joint will be eligible for enrollment in a pilot study of joint embolization to treat their pain. Participants who choose to not undergo treatment will be re-assessed with MRI after one year to characterize the natural history of joint neovascularity and its relationship to pain.

The primary objective of this study is to evaluate the effectiveness of REGN475 compared to placebo in participants with pain due to osteoarthritis (OA) of the knee or hip and a history of inadequate joint pain relief or intolerance to current analgesic therapy.

The concept of mobilization with movement, also referred to as a Mulligan mobilization, has not been studied in patients with hip osteoarthritis, subsisting questions about the possible effects in this population. The aim of this randomized controlled study is to compare the immediate effects of Mulligan mobilization with movement technique of pain, range of motion and physical function in patients with osteoarthritis of the hip.

The purpose of this study is to compare the short term effectiveness and return to function of subjects undergoing primary Total Hip Arthroplasty using an Anterior Approach (incision on the front part of the hip joint) versus Posterior Approach (incision over back part of the hip joint).

This study evaluates the addition of an automated physician-specific text-messaging (SMS) bot in patients undergoing total joint arthroplasty. Half of the patients received the traditional perioperative education and instructions (control group), while the other half were enrolled in their physician's SMS bot (intervention group).
