Active clinical trials for "Osteoarthritis, Knee"

The purpose of this study is to determine whether MM-II is effective in the treatment of osteoarthritis, in direct comparison with an approved hyaluronic acid preparation.

This study aims to assess postoperative blood loss and transfusion rates in total knee replacement after one-time administration of topical tranexamic acid.

This is the first study to test the effect of Tai Chi on pain from knee osteoarthritis in community-dwelling elders with mild cognitive impairment. If Tai Chi is effective in reducing pain, clinicians can use it routinely with this population; then elders can maintain their functional ability longer, and perhaps delay or prevent long-term care admission, and the investigators can save health care dollars.

Non-pharmacological treatments are recommended for the management of knee osteoarthritis (EULAR or OARSI recommendations) and some thermal modalities may be effective for relieving symptoms in knee Osteoarthritis. However supporting evidence is limited and nothing is known about the advantage of one modality of thermal therapy over another. The main objective of the study is to compare the number of patients achieving a composite response criteria associating the minimal clinically important improvement at 6 months, defined as ≥ 19.9 mm on the visual analogue pain scale and/or ≥ 9.1 points in a normalised Western Ontario and McMaster Universities osteoarthritis index function score and no knee surgery in 2 spa therapy protocols (a "usual protocol" and an "active protocol") in knee osteoarthritis. The secondary objectives are: To compare the efficacy of the 2 protocols at 3 months. To determine the evolution of quality of life and medical care consumption To describe postural abnormalities To determine predictive factors to a favourable response at 3 and 6 months

To evaluate the safety and efficacy of ABT-652 in combination with a Non-steroidal Anti-inflammatory Drug (NSAID) compared to NSAID alone in adults with osteoarthritis (OA) of the knee.

The purpose of this study is to determine if an anti-inflammatory drug, called infliximab, will reduce inflammation in the synovial lining in patients with an early stage of osteoarthritis of the knee. It will also help determine if the study medication decreases the accumulation of synovial fluid and prevents cartilage breakdown.

The purpose of this study is to evaluate the safety and performance of Hydros Joint Therapy (Hydros) and Hydros-TA Joint Therapy (Hydros-TA) for treatment of pain from osteoarthritis of the knee, in patients who have failed to respond adequately to conservative non-pharmacologic therapy and simple analgesics.

The purpose of this study is to see if we can safely regenerate cartilage without invasive surgery using a biologic product called TissueGene-C.

An evaluation of the safety and efficacy of an herbal patch in treating osteoarthritis pain of the right or left knee.

Observational evidence suggests that vitamin D deficiency may have a role in the causes of osteoarthritis (OA) and there are biologically plausible mechanisms to explain this. There is, however, no evidence which shows that intervening with vitamin D supplementation can slow the progression of OA. This study is to determine if vitamin D supplementation can reduce knee pain and slow knee cartilage loss in OA patients comparing with a placebo. Use of MRI will provide sensitive measures of knee OA changes.
