Active clinical trials for "Osteoarthritis, Knee"

Whole body vibration (WBV) acutely improves quadriceps strength, and may improve long-term outcomes in individuals with anterior cruciate ligament reconstruction (ACLR). However, it is unclear if WBV influences athletic tasks such as running. The purpose of this study is to evaluate the influence of WBV on running biomechanics in individuals with ACLR.

This study consists of a randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled crossover trial with open label extension evaluating a topical natural health cream containing ß-caryophyllene alone and in combination with 0.025% capsicum oleoresin against placebo. At the end of the randomized controlled phase of the trial all participants will be given open-label combination cream to be administered over the subsequent 3 weeks. Primary Endpoint: Evaluation of improvement in pain interference as measured by the BPI in individuals who are experiencing pain due to osteoarthritis of the knee. Secondary Endpoints: Secondary endpoints are: Confirmation of safety of the topical cream when used daily over 10 weeks. Further evaluation will include overall patient satisfaction with the products tested.

The aim of this study was to assess a novel approach to treating severe knee osteoarthritis by targeting synovialmembrane, superficial articular cartilage, synovial fluid, and subchondral bone by combining intra-articular injections and intraosseous infiltrations of platelet rich plasma.This study explored a new strategy consisting of intraosseous infiltrations of platelet rich plasma into the subchondral bone in combination with the conventional intra-articular injection in order to tackle several knee joint tissues simultaneously.

Objectives: To test the feasibility of the study design and clinical effects of self-administered acupressure on relieving knee osteoarthritis (OA) pain. Hypothesis: self-administered acupressure would have a superior beneficial effect compared to health education control group in terms of pain relief in patients with knee osteoarthritis across the 6-week study period. Design and subjects: A pilot randomized controlled trial. 36 subjects with knee OA will be recruited; 18 per group. All eligible subjects will be randomized to either self-administered acupressure or health education control group in 1:1 ratio. Interventions: Subjects in the self-acupressure group will attend two 1.5 hours training sessions to learn self-acupressure and will practice self-acupressure every morning and night for 6 weeks; subjects in the education control group will receive two 1.5 hours training sessions to learn the health information related to knee OA. Main outcome measures: The primary outcome measure is the numerical rating scale for knee pain. Other measures include Western Ontario and McMaster University Osteoarthritis Index, knees' range of motion (ROM), and SF-6D. Acceptability of the self-acupressure training course will also be evaluated. Data Analysis: Differences in the questionnaire scores and ROM will be examined using a mixed-effects model. Both completer and intention-to-treat analyses will be conducted. Effect sizes will be computed by dividing the difference in means by the pooled standard deviation.

This is a study to evaluate the Clinical Performance and Safety of a single intra-articular (i.a.) injection of hyaluronic acid product (as HL-01) in the treatment of pain due to osteoarthritis (OA) of the knee.

The purpose of this study is to evaluate the efficacy of intra-articular injections of combined hyaluronic acid and platelet-rich plasma in knee degenerative joint disease in improving joint function and reducing pain.

This study aimed to analyze the effect of platelet-rich plasma (PRP) on knee osteoarthritis. Eligible patients will undertake arthroscopic knee surgery plus intraoperative PRP and also receive second look surgery and intraoperative biopsy.

To trial a traditional pain management technique from Ayurveda in a modern way - the technique involves micro - cautery to painful areas in knee osteoarthritis for patients on a waiting list for knee replacement. The Investigators will include a waiting list control series.

This study was planned to evaluate the effect of neuromuscular exercise program on physical activity, functionality and balance in patients with knee osteoarthritis aged 35-65 years.

Subjects with chronic osteoarthritis of the knee will be assigned to receive an injection of either 1.2% sodium hyaluronate or buffered saline to evaluate its effectiveness and safety for 26 weeks. After 26 weeks, subjects can elect to receive a second injection of 1.2% sodium hyaluronate and be followed for another 26 weeks.
