Active clinical trials for "Osteoarthritis, Knee"

This clinical trial is for patients who have been diagnosed with Kellgren-Lawrence (K&L) Grade 2 or 3 knee osteoarthritis on radiographic examination. Only subjects who voluntarily agree to participate by filling out the written Informed Consent document will undergo screening for subject selection (inclusion/exclusion) criteria, at which time the severity of OA in each knee will be used to determined which knee will be treated (index knee - i.e., the more severely affected knee), and enroll in this study.

To assess the benefits of using semiconductor (germanium and carbon) woven knee sleeves products in patients with osteoarthritis of the knee. To compare patients in a blinded randomized trial with and without the semiconductor knee sleeves product during the first 3 months period after initial contact at the outpatient clinic. Aims: The hypothesis of the study is that the semiconductor sleeve will reduce pain and improve knee function in active group when compared to the placebo group.

Age-related hip and knee osteoarthritis is the leading cause of pain and locomotor problems worldwide. There is no definitive solution in the treatment of hip and knee osteoarthritis. In the guidelines of the American Rheumatology Association, pharmacological and non-pharmacological treatment methods are recommended for the treatment of hip and knee osteoarthritis. The effectiveness of different exercise programs for the periarticular muscles in hip and knee osteoarthritis has been proven, but there is no consensus on the superiority of exercise protocols over each other. With the increase in home isolation of individuals due to the COVID-19 pandemic, telerehabilitation applications have gained popularity.In the literature, there is a need for studies investigating the effectiveness of core stabilization exercises in patients with hip and knee osteoarthritis. Therefore, our study will help develop alternative exercises for individuals with hip and knee osteoarthritis. In the literature, there is no study investigating the effectiveness of core stabilization exercises applied with the telerehabilitation method in patients with knee osteoarthritis and comparing them with conventional exercise. According to the data to be obtained as a result of the study, the use of core stabilization exercises in the treatment of hip and knee osteoarthritis will contribute to the literature as an alternative exercise method. The application of these exercises with the telerehabilitation method in the treatment of hip and knee osteoarthritis will highlight new studies in the literature as a unique methodology. Thus, it will contribute to the development of cost-effective rehabilitation methods in the treatment of hip and knee osteoarthritis. The hypotheses of this study are as follows: H0:There is no difference between the effects of combined exercise with telerehabilitation (conventional exercise + core stabilization exercise) and the effects of conventional exercise in the treatment of hip and/or knee osteoarthritis. H1:Combined exercise with telerehabilitation application (conventional exercise + core stabilization exercise) is more effective than conventional exercise in the treatment of hip and/or knee osteoarthritis. Main Purpose: To compare the effects of conventional exercise and core stabilization exercises by telerehabilitation on pain, postural control, functional level, and fear of falling in patients with hip and/or knee osteoarthritis. Secondary Purposes: To evaluate the effects of core stabilization exercises on pain, postural control, functional level, fear of falling in female patients with hip and/or knee osteoarthritis. To evaluate the effectiveness of telerehabilitation exercise in female patients with hip and/or knee osteoarthritis. To determine the possible limitations that may be encountered in the application of exercise by telerehabilitation in female patients with hip and/or knee osteoarthritis and to provide appropriate conditions for the patients.

The purpose of this study is to determine the effects of active transcranial direct current stimulation (tDCS) paired with active mindfulness-based meditation (MBM) on clinical pain,osteo arthritis (OA)-related clinical symptoms, physiopsychological pain processing and participant satisfaction with treatment in patients with knee OA.

PPV-06 immunotherapy targets interleukin-6 (IL-6), a key molecule of the immune system whose overproduction is implicated in many inflammatory and autoimmune diseases such as rheumatoid arthritis and osteoarthritis. The benefit of vaccination with PPV-06 is to induce, in response to immunizations, the production of antibodies directed against IL-6. The antibodies produced will neutralize the biological activity of IL-6 involved in the body's inflammatory process. The primary objective is to evaluate the safety/tolerability of vaccination with PPV-06.

The need for exploration of more definitive and cost effective non-arthroplasty treatments of osteoarthritis (OA) has been demonstrated by the orthopedic and health economic research. Embolotherapy of neovessels associated with OA joints has been shown to be promising in patients with knee OA. There is a need for level one evidence drawn from randomized clinical trials to prove the safety, feasibility and efficacy of knee embolotherapy compared to standard of care. This randomized pilot study will assign 10 patients with mild-moderate OA to undergo geniculate artery embolization plus standard of care (defined in this study as: physical therapy and oral anti-inflammatory medications, with a maximum of 1 joint injection at the time of enrollment) and 10 patients to receive only medical standard of care (also having had a maximum of 1 joint injection prior to enrollment). The goal of this pilot study is to obtain preliminary estimates of safety and efficacy of embolotherapy to provide sustained symptom control and modify disease progression in patients with mild to moderate knee OA.

The objective of this investigation is to evaluate the safety of the geniculate artery embolization (GAE) procedure with HydroPearl® Microspheres in 30 patients with knee pain caused by osteoarthritis with 24 months follow-up. The GAE procedure is an arterial embolization procedure that blocks abnormal blood vessels caused be knee arthritis in order to evaluate the effect on knee pain.

The primary purpose of this study was to determine if cannabinoid use decreases narcotic consumption in patients undergoing total knee arthroplasty (TKA).

This study aims to compare the efficacy of Umbilical Cord Mesenchymal Stem Cell and secretome between arthroscopy and without arthroscopy intervention in OA patients. This study has 4 arms namely Arthroscopy + Booster, Arthroscopy + Pre-conditioning, Non-Arthroscopy + Booster, Non-Arthroscopy + Pre-conditioning.

This is a randomized clinical study, in which 150 patients with end-stage osteoarthritis will be enrolled to ROSA®-assisted knee arthroplasty or conventional knee arthroplasty. Patients are recruited at Zuyderland Medical Center, enrolled pre-operatively and followed up for 12 months post-surgery. In- and exclusion criteria are stated below. After recruitment, participants will be invited for a pre-operative visit. During this pre-operative visit Informed Consent is signed and completion of patient-reported outcome measures (PROMs) is checked. Additionally, measurements regarding body composition, strength and fitness and metabolic outcomes are performed. Participants will have a blood sample taken. Scans, adverse event and medication use will be confirmed. Participants will receive a ActiGraph for collecting data from physical activity. Of all patients, 72 will undergo additional measurements (gait, proprioception). During surgery ROSA- and surgery-data will be collected. Post-operative participants will have a 6-weeks, 3-month and 12-month visit. During these visits pre-operative measurements are repeated.
