Active clinical trials for "Osteoarthritis, Knee"

In this project we want investigate the clinical results after different rehabilitation regimens(Limited or unlimited weightbearing after surgery) in Open-wedge High Tibial Osteotomies. The hypothesis is that unlimited weightbearing is beneficial for the healing and rehabilitation.

The objective of this trial is to evaluate the effect of Aquamin F alone or in combination with glucosamine sulfate versus placebo on symptoms of joint pain, stiffness and immobility in subjects with painful osteoarthritis of the knee. The following hypotheses were tested: (Hypothesis 1) After 12 weeks of treatment, subjects taking Aquamin F alone or in combination with glucosamine sulfate will have significantly less joint pain, stiffness and immobility compared to subjects taking glucosamine sulfate alone or placebo alone. (Hypothesis 2) No significant differences will be seen for adverse events between the subjects taking Aquamin F, glucosamine sulfate, Aquamin F + glucosamine sulfate or placebo.

This 39-week, active controlled, study is designed to assess long-term efficacy, safety and tolerability of lumiracoxib 100mg od in patients with osteoarthritis (OA) of the knee who participated in the 13-week core CCOX189A2361 study.

The study objective is the eluciation of the dose-response function in efficacy (and possibly safety) in order to determine an optimal dose with respect to efficacy and safety. The study is designed with three dose levels and one placebo control.

The aim of this study was to evalute three different acupuncture techniques, including one sham control, in its effect on osteoarthitis of the knee

This study will test efficacy and safety of AAE581 compared to placebo in limiting cartilage loss in patients with painful knee osteoarthritis which is confirmed by X-ray

The purpose of this study was to characterize the effectiveness and safety of OROS hydromorphone HCL and OxyContin in patients with chronic osteoarthritis (OA) of the knee or hip who are receiving chronic nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drug (NSAID) or other nonsteroidal, non-opioid analgesic (ie, acetaminophen or aspirin) therapy.

Derris Scandens Benth (family : Leguminosae) is a woody vine growing throughout Southeast Asia, including Thailand. The stem of D.Scandens has been widely use in Thai traditional medicine, foe example of myalgia. Previous study shown that D.Scandens Benth extract has the anti-inflammatory activity. Although NSAIDs are efficaciously in the treatment of osteoarthritis,but the GI side effect is still concerned. In this study we aim to investigate the efficacy and safety of D. Scandens Benth extract compared with Naproxen for therapy of patients with knee osteoarthritis.

Matrix metalloproteinases (MMPs) have been implicated in the cartilage degradation. PG-530742 inhibits some MMPs, potentially limiting cartilage degradation and disease progression. This study will test the efficacy and safety of PG-530742 in the treatment of mild to moderate knee osteoarthritis.

Oral non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs) are a recommended treatment for the symptoms of osteoarthritis of the knee. However, NSAIDs may cause a range of negative side effects, including stomach pain, heartburn, bleeding stomach ulcer, and liver or kidney abnormality. A topical NSAID may relieve pain and other symptoms of osteoarthritis of the knee, while minimizing the side effects common to oral NSAIDs. The purpose of this study is to determine the safety and effectiveness of a topical NSAID when used alone or when combined with an oral NSAID in the treatment of osteoarthritis of the knee.
