Bone Marrow Versus Adipose Tissue as a Cell Source for Infiltrative Treatment of Knee Osteoarthritis...
Knee OsteoarthritisThe MAST-GR study is a randomized controlled interventional trial with parallel treatment arms and 1:1 allocation The primary objective of the study is to compare the safety and efficacy of a single intra-articular infiltration of Bone marrow aspirate concentrate (BMAC) with one of minimally manipulated adipose tissue (MM-AT) so as to determine the most effective cellular product in treating patients with knee osteoarthritis (OA). The secondary objective is to demonstrate whether intra-articular infiltration of BMAC or MM-AT can induce disease-modifying effects in knee OA by imaging and biological assessments on peripheral blood. The tertiary objective of the study is to identify factors that influence the clinical response to treatment (baseline characteristics of patients, biological characteristics of the treated knee, characteristics of cellular products, BMAC and MM-AT).

Cartilage Recovery in Adults With Knee Osteorthritis by Mesenchymal Cell Therapy: Randomized Trial...
Knee OsteoarthritisThe treatment of osteoarthritis (OA) of the knee remains still controversial. Despite that fact advanced stages with symptomatic and functional improvement are obtained with total knee replacement, however, there is no treatment that neither modifies the natural history of this disease, nor avoid joint replacement surgery in young patients in whom the prosthesis has conflictive indications. Moreover, prosthetic surgery leads to lower long-term survival and in older patients, higher morbidity and mortality. Cell therapy promises to be a treatment option through the use of mesenchymal cells with the capacity control inflammatory responses and trigger the differentiation into chondrocytes. Here we propose a randomized placebo-controlled clinical trial to evaluate radiologic and clinical outcomes in patients with knee OA.
Allogenic Mesenchymal Stem Cell Intraarticular Injection for Knee Osteoarthritis Therapy
Knee OsteoarthritisThis phase I and II double blinded randomized clinical controlled trial investigates the safety and efficacy of intraarticular knee injection with allogenic adipose derived mesenchymal stem cells (AD-MSC), in patients suffering from mild-moderate knee osteoarthritis compared to placebo injection with saline.
3-point vs 6-point GNRFA for Chronic KOA
OsteoarthritisKnee1 moreThe goal of this clinical trial is to compare three-point and six-point Genicular Nerve Radiofrequency Ablation (GNRFA) in adults with chronic knee osteoarthritis (KOA). The main question it aims to answer is whether six- target GNRFA technique is more efficacious than standard three-target GNRFA technique in managing the pain and function of KOA. Consented patients who respond to a diagnostic block will be randomly assigned to either three-point or six-point GNRFA. Researchers will compare pain and function in these two groups.
Psychological and Pain Factors in Knee Osteoarthritis
Knee OsteoarthritisThis study aims to determine if baseline measures of psychology and pain sensitivity can predict changes in physical function at 1 year in patients with knee osteoarthritis.
Pre vs Post Block in Total Knee Arthroplasty (TKA)
Knee OsteoarthritisArthroplasty Complications1 moreThe purpose of this project is to determine if a change in patient reported pain, nausea and vomiting after total knee arthroplasty can be observed with the substitution of a post operative adductor canal block for a preoperative adductor canal block in the current established peri-operative pain protocol and if these changes lead to a decrease in opioid consumption (in morphine equivalents).
In-vivo Wear Behaviour of AS Coated Versus Uncoated Columbus® Total Knee Prosthesis
Knee ArthritisKnee Osteoarthritis7 moreThis clinical study is a Post-Market Clinical Follow-Up (PMCF) measure and is aiming to compare the in-vivo wear behaviour of the Columbus® total knee prosthesis between the standard Cobalt Chromium (CoCr) and the multilayer coated so called "Advanced Surface" (AS) of the same implant. The clinical investigation is designed as a International, prospective, longterm non-interventional study in order to gain clinical data of many patients within the routine clinical application of the investigational device.
Innovations in Genicular Outcomes Registry
Knee OsteoarthritisThe registry will capture prospective data on patients receiving pain management for chronic pain due to knee osteoarthritis (OA) or pain optimization for knee arthroplasty due to knee OA. The OA pain therapies may include cryo nerve block, radiofrequency ablation (RFA), intra-articular (IA) corticosteroids, viscosupplementation, opioids, and others (e.g., non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs [NSAIDs]).
Evaluation of the Effect of High-intensity Laser Therapy in Knee Osteoarthritis
Knee OsteoarthritisLaser Therapy1 moreThe aim of this study is to evaluate the effects of high intensity laser therapy (HILT) on range of motion, pain, quality of life, muscle strength and femoral cartilage thickness in patients with knee osteoarthritis.
