Active clinical trials for "Osteoarthritis, Knee"

This study is being conducted to evaluate the efficacy and safety of ASA compared to placebo in the management of osteoarthritis (OA) symptoms of the knee.

The study aims to evaluate the therapeutic effect of the Tui-na and oral Chinese medicine on the treatment of KOA. This is a prospective, randomized wait-list controlled trial in patients with knee osteoarthritis (KOA). After 2 weeks screening period, eligible subjects will be randomly assigned to the treatment group and wait-list control group in 1:1 ratio. Subjects will have 4-week of treatment, and then a 4-week follow-up.

Treatment options for individuals who have advanced knee osteoarthritis (OA) and a body mass index (BMI) ≥35 kg/m2 are limited, and this patient population may be neglected in current clinical care pathways for OA management. These individuals are considered to be at high risk for complications with total knee arthroplasty (TKA), and as a result may not be eligible for this procedure unless they lose significant weight. However, there is limited evidence for endorsing weight loss as beneficial prior to TKA. Further, unsupervised weight loss could put patients at risk for muscle loss and development of sarcopenic obesity, a health condition that negatively impacts mobility and mortality. This suggests that weight loss might not be the primary treatment goal for this patient population. Integrated non-surgical treatment approaches are needed that can target the specific needs of this knee OA patient group. This study will examine the feasibility and acceptability of a personalized, multicomponent intervention, and its effects on body composition and physical function compared to usual care.

This phase 3 study is a multicenter, randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled study of lorecivivint injected intra-articularly (IA) into the target (most painful) knee joint of moderately to severely symptomatic osteoarthritis (OA) subjects at a single dose of 0.07 mg lorecivivint per 2 mL injection. This study will utilize standard outcomes to evaluate the safety and efficacy of lorecivivint.

In this study, 10 subjects will be underwent total knee arthroplasty with PEEK knee prosthesis and be followed up 3, 6, and 12 months after surgery. The safety of the knee prosthesis for total knee arthroplasty will be investigated based on X-ray, magnetic resonance imaging, thin-section CT, hematological indexes, knee function, complications and the occurrence of serious adverse events at the 12-month follow-up.

To evaluate the non-inferiority of the cementless Engage Partial Knee System compared to cemented Engage Partial knee System.

Total joint replacement is an efficacious treatment for osteoarthritis of hips and knees. Both total knee replacement (TKR) and total hip replacements (THR) have excellent implant survivorship. However, patient satisfaction is lower in TKR than THR. A possible cause of the discrepancy is the unnatural knee kinematics after TKR. Various implant designs have been developed to solve the problem. However, most of the designs are based on experimental data and not on in vivo kinematics. In this study, we will analyze the in vivo kinematics of the Global Medacta Knee Sphere (GMK Sphere) implant and compare it with a well documented design and implant (NexGen Cruciate Retaining (CR), Zimmer Biomet). We assume our study will contribute to the development of more satisfying knee implants.

The study seeks to determine the safety and feasibility of using adipose-derived mesenchymal stromal cells to treat symptoms of mild to severe knee osteoarthritis.

The NUsurface® Meniscus Implant SUN Clinical Trial is a multi-center, single-arm, prospective, open label, non-randomized, observational clinical trial to gather safety and probable clinical benefit data on the NUsurface® Meniscus Implant in treated the target population.

Total Knee Arthroplasty is becoming an increasingly common operation. An important part of a successful overall patient outcome is regaining functional range of motion after surgery. Wearable devices for fitness have become increasingly common. This study seeks to utilize wearable technology to enhance the post-operative rehabilitation experience by allowing patients and surgeons to monitor patient recovery in real time. The Consensus TracPatch is a wearable device which utilizes an accelerometer, temperature sensor and step count to monitor patient recovery. This tool provides critical, real-time information that may offer a more complete source of data to understand a patient's postoperative clinical and rehabilitation course and guide physician postoperative management. The study hypothesizes that this new technology will improve patient postoperative mobility and patient-physician communication.
