Active clinical trials for "Osteoarthritis, Hip"

Hip osteoarthritis (OA) is one of the most prevalent chronic disease in the world. Currently several authors have shown the presence of active myofascial trigger points (MTrP) in the muscles surrounding the hip joint that reproduce the symptoms of the patients with hip OA. Despite of the beneficial effects that have shown may conservative non-pharmacological treatments, there is a lack of studies evaluating the effects of the conservative treatments on muscle extensibility. According to the new paradigm about the presence of MTrPs, the investigators decided to conduct a randomized clinical trial to compare the effects of DN intervention and stretching protocol on muscle extensibility in patients with hip OA.

Total hip replacement (THR) is one of the most common interventions in orthopedic surgery. Rehabilitation is essential for maximizing the effectiveness of the surgery. Tele-rehabilitation programs after orthopedic surgery have proven their effectiveness, validity and cost-efficacy. It seems of interest to test the potential advantages of early virtual reality based rehabilitation programs after total hip arthroplasty compared to standard care. The aim of the study is to evaluate the functional recovery following total hip arthroplasty and home telerehabilitation programs with a virtual reality based system.

130 patients undergoing primary unilateral total hip arthroplasty through anterior approach were enrolled and randomized into one of two groups. One group received standard of care clinic-based physical therapy postoperatively (clinic PT) while the other group underwent progressive home-based exercises to do after surgery (home PT). Patient surveys with Hip Osteoarthritis Outcome Scores (HOOS) and SF12v2 scores for both groups were obtained before surgery as well as 6, 14, and 24 weeks postop. Patients had the option to crossover into the other study group at their 6-week follow-up visit.

Obtain real world, post market data to confirm the clinical improvement and safety in patients treated with a single injection of MONOVISC for the symptomatic relief of osteoarthritis in the hip joint.

EOSedge is a precise, low dose imaging system that delivers full body, high-quality images covering the full set of musculoskeletal and orthopedic exams. The objective of the study is to evaluate the quality of the focused pelvis/hip X-ray images on EOSedge compared to those performed on DR (current practice) to perform a preoperative radiographic evaluation of hip implant, A sufficient image quality on focused X-ray images performed on EOSedge would allow (1) to avoid the passage on two different radiographic systems (saving time) (2) to reduce the patient's x-ray radiation dose

Task-oriented leg exercise are commonly used after joint surgeries in various hip pathologies. Based on this theory, it was hypothesized that task-oriented exercise without conventional physiotherapy can have better result in recovery of balance and leg function than with a conventional post-hip physiotherapy program after hip replacement surgery. The aim of the study was to determine the effect of task-oriented exercise on balance and leg function after total hip replacement.

There is no scientific study in the literature regarding the use of shock wave therapy in hip osteoarthritis. In this study, we aim to investigate both the effectiveness of ESWT and which type of ESWT can be more effective in hip osteoarthritis.

To assess minimal clinically important change, cut-offs for treatment failure and patient acceptable symptom state for pain and patient-reported function and quality of life in persons with hip or knee osteoarthritis, participating in digitally delivered first-line education and exercise treatment.

This research study is focused upon assessing and optimising surgeon's performance during, and patient outcomes following, primary total hip replacement (THR) surgery. The primary research question is to determine if additional simulation training can improve the intra-operative performance of surgical trainees (Residents) during a THR, or the outcome of patients after their THR. The investigators will aim to define an 'expert' standard in performing a primary elective THR, which may be used as a benchmark when assessing surgical trainee performance; and also determine if operative surgeon performance metrics during a THR are correlated with surgical experience, or patient outcomes.

Hip osteoarthritis (OA) is one of the most prevalent chronic disease in the world. Clinical guidelines recommend non-pharmacological conservative treatments for the management of OA. Hip flexors seems to play an important role in the development of hip OA but there is no published studies evaluating the results of a stretching protocol of hip flexors in hip OA patients. The objective of this trial is to evaluate if a stretching protocol of hip flexors is more effective in symptoms, functional capacity , range of motion, strength, muscular length, pain threshold and anxiety and depression compared to control. For this purpose the investigators conduct a single-group, pretest-posttest clinical trial.The investigators included patients diagnosed of hip osteoarthritis Grade I-III by Scale of Kellgren and Lawrence. The variables are measured at the beginning and at the end of treatment of the control phase, and at the end of the stretching protocol phase.
