Active clinical trials for "Osteoarthritis, Knee"

This study will measure the 24-week pain relief from long-duration ultrasound on the symptoms of knee arthritis pain.

This is a multicenter, randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled, parallel group, 4-week trial of a formulation of AMZ001 once or twice daily versus placebo twice daily, including a single-blind treatment group with a commercial gel four times daily.

the present study will conduct to assess anterior knee pain and complications after medial UKA with or without patella denervation in medial compartment arthritis and severe lateral facet patellofemoral arthritis patients.

The purpose of this study is to determine the clinical response to autologous bone marrow aspirate concentrate (BMAC) and platelet-rich plasma (PRP) injections for knee osteoarthritis with respect to pain, function, and quality of life at up to 1 year following the intervention. Specifically, the clinical response will be compared to baseline and a control group treated with a Gel-One® hyaluronate injection to the target knee.

Prospective, Interventional, Non-Randomized, Open Label, Single Group Assignment, Single Center.

Unisex knee prosthesis and patient specific knee prosthesis has the same anterior knee pain and patellar tracking

This study investigates clinical outcome and imaging outcome parameters after intraarticular injection of steroids, platelet-rich-plasma (prp), hyaluronic acid or placebo in patients with early osteoarthritis of the knee joint.

This is a randomized, controlled, blinded prospective study comparing the use of the usual cutting guides with a palm-sized digital surgical navigation system in unilateral total knee arthroplasty. Analysis of pre- and post-operative X-rays will be used to compare alignment of the tibial (shinbone) implant components. The investigators expect that the FDA-approved hand-held surgical navigation device will increase the accuracy and precision of the tibial cut by telling the surgeon the exact position of the cutting block before the surgeon makes the cut, allowing minor adjustments to be made. The investigators expect the conventional device to take less time to use, but that this difference will decrease as the surgeon becomes more familiar with the device. The investigators expect the intraoperative measurements acquired by the KneeAlign system to strongly correlate with the radiographic alignments measured postoperatively.

The purpose of this study is to compare two methods of pain control used during total knee joint replacement surgery. The pain medication that will be used for this study is not experimental. The investigators will compare the single shot femoral nerve block (SSFNB) and Femoral Nerve Block (FNB) plus continuous femoral nerve catheter (CFNC) to determine which method gives patients better pain control, increasing the capability to participate in physical therapy and decreasing the consumption of other pain medication. With either the single shot or the catheter the local numbing medication called ropivacaine will be used.

The purpose of this research is to determine whether computer-based telephone counseling will improve adherence to strength training in a population of elders with knee osteoarthritis.
