Rehabilitation for Total Knee Replacement: a Novel Biofeedback System Versus Conventional Home-based...
Knee OsteoarthritisArthropathy of KneeThe study was designed to test patient acceptance and system usability and to assess clinical outcomes of a home-based rehabilitation program using a novel kinematic biofeedback system in the rehabilitation after total knee replacement versus conventional rehabilitation, This system allows the patients to perform independent rehabilitation sessions at home, under remote monitoring from the clinical team. The investigators hypothesize that the system will be well received by patients and that the clinical outcomes will be at least similar those of conventional rehabilitation. This is a quasi-randomized controlled trial with active comparator. Patients will be enrolled pre-operatively and divided into 2 groups: experimental group and conventional rehabilitation group according to geographical criteria. Both groups will perform 8 weeks of rehabilitation starting between day 7 and 10 after surgery. The experimental group will perform daily rehabilitation sessions at home using the system, under remote monitoring from a physical therapist. The conventional rehabilitation group will perform 1h rehabilitation sessions 3 times a week, at home, given by a physical therapist. The following feasibility outcomes will be registered: enrollment rate, retention rate (drop-outs), compliance to the program, independence of use, need for therapist contact and patient satisfaction. Clinical outcomes will be measured at weeks 4 and 8 and then at 3 and 6 months. The primary outcome will be measured in terms of patient performance in the Timed-up-and-Go (TUG) test in comparison with the pre-operative score. Secondary outcomes will be measured in terms of: b) Knee Osteoarthritis Outcome Score); c) range of motion of the knee joint.
Pre-operative Intravenous Steroid in Total Knee Replacement for Pain Relief and Recovery
OsteoarthritisKneeOsteoarthritis of the knee is a common and important condition in our society. Despite various anesthetic methods and pain medications, pain after operation still remains as a challenge. Steroids plays a role in decreasing the inflammatory reaction and stress response from surgery. This study is to evaluate the use of an additional steroid injection, on top of usual pain killers and anesthesia, on the effect of pain control and recovery after total knee replacement. 50 subjects will be recruited, half of them will be randomized to receive a single dose of steroid injection before operation while the other half will receive a placebo. All the doctors, patients and physiotherapists are not aware of the allocation. Apart from the steroid or placebo injection, all the other treatment (eg: surgery, medications, rehabilitation protocol etc) will be the same. Doctors and physiotherapists will assess the subjects at 24, 30, 48 hours after surgery and upon discharge for their pain relief and recovery. Any complications will also be documented.
Sinew Acupuncture for Knee Osteoarthritis
Knee OsteoarthritisThe study aims to exam whether sinew acupuncture can relieve pain and symptoms of KOA and improve functional movement by Visual Analog Scale (VAS), Western Ontario and McMasters University Osteoarthritis Index (WOMAC), Timed up & Go Test (TUG) and 8-step Stair Climb Test (SCT) assessment, and Quality of life by Short Form-36 (SF-36). A randomized, sham acupuncture controlled, patient and assessor blinded, pilot study will be employed.
Effects of tDCS in Elderly With Pain Due to Knee Osteoarthritis
OsteoarthritisKnee1 moreThe purpose of this study is to evaluate if anodal tDCS stimulation over M1 may decrease chronic knee OA pain in elderly subjects with defective CPM. In addition, this trial will help to investigate the role of central sensitization in knee OA and evaluate how tDCS stimulation may affect it.

Osteoarthritis Knee Pain Relief Study of 0.25% 920-CGS-200
OsteoarthritisKneeThis is a study of an over-the-counter, capsaicin-based (0.25%) topical analgesic for management of osteoarthritis knee pain meeting the US Food and Drug Administration's (FDAs) Tentative Final Monograph (TFM) guidance for "External Analgesic Drug Products For Over-the-Counter Human Use," published in the Federal Register on February 8, 1983 (final proposed 21 CFR 348). Subjects meeting the inclusion criteria and not meeting the exclusion criteria were randomized into one of four groups: once daily treatment with active product, once daily treatment with product vehicle (no capsaicin), twice daily treatment with active product, and twice daily treatment with product vehicle (no capsaicin), all for 7 consecutive days of treatment. The twice daily treatments were spaced approximately 12 hours apart. Osteoarthritis knee pain was assessed by the 100 mm visual analog scale. Osteoarthritis knee pain assessments were done each day for 28 days. Tolerability data were also collected.
The Effects of Prehabilitative Exercise on Functional Recovery Following Total Knee Arthroplasty...
ArthroplastyOsteoarthritis1 moreThe primary aim of this study is to determine the effects of pre-surgery exercise known as Prehabilitation, on functional outcomes for patients following Total Knee Arthroplasty (TKA) surgery. The hypothesis is patients that receive effective pre-surgery prehabilitation will demonstrate improved recovery as measured by the 6-minute walk (6MW) test at one month post surgery.
