Active clinical trials for "Osteoarthritis, Knee"

The primary purpose of this study is to determine if duloxetine reduces pain severity in patients with osteoarthritis knee pain.

The primary purposes of this study are the following: To evaluate whether the presence of inflammatory knee osteoarthritis as determined by ultrasonography can be used as a clinical predictor of patient response to intra-articular corticosteroids. To prospectively evaluate clinical responsiveness of intraarticular corticosteroids with the inflammatory phenotype of knee OA using a randomized, placebo controlled clinical design. To evaluate whether lower extremity strength is improved with intraarticular corticosteroid injection. The investigators hypothesize that patients with signs of inflammation by ultrasonography such as synovitis and effusion will respond better to intraarticular corticosteroid injection.

To demonstrate that new drugs work, many complex multidose studies are often required. The intent of this study is to use Ibuprofen as an example of a marketed pain relief drug to validate a simpler single dose model for future assessment of new pain drugs.

The aim of the study is to analyse and to compare the quality of fixation of a femoral implant with or without cement. One hundred thirty patients will be operated on and included with 2 groups, the first one with TKA all cemented and the second one with TKA with a cementless femoral implant. The study criteria include the IKS (International Knee Society) score and the analysis of a radiolucent line at the femur. Patients will be reviewed at 2, 6 and 12 months.

A Study to Assess Etoricoxib versus Diclofenac in Chinese Patients with Osteoarthritis of the Knee or Hip

This prospective cohort study was conducted with the aim of comparing relevant clinical outcomes which included intra (surgical time and blood loss), post-operative outcomes (range of motion, function, complications and revisions) and return to activity between imageless and image-based surgical system in medial unicondylar knee arthroplasty

The purpose of this study is to document the clinical outcomes of partial knee replacement surgery using robotic-arm assisted knee joint surgery at 3 weeks, 6 weeks, 12 weeks, 6 months, 1 year, 2 years, 5 years and 10 years post operative.

The purpose of this study is to compare the pain, functioning and pain medication consumption of knee osteoarthritis (OA) patients who have allogenic cytokines derived from human amniotic membranes (HAM) and allogenic mesenchymal stem cells derived from human umbilical cord Wharton's Jelly (HUMCWJ) implanted into the affected knee with knee OA patients who self-select to be in a non-intervention control group.

To determine if the use of patient-specific custom cutting blocks for implantation of total knee components results in improved limb alignment and component positioning compared to regular instrumentation.

This proposal aims to provide crucial knowledge about the neurobiological mechanisms underlying Tai Chi mind-body therapy for knee osteoarthritis (OA). The central mechanism of knee OA pain will be investigated using brain imaging technology to evaluate how brain function and structure change in response to mind-body exercise over time. Sixty eligible individuals who meet the American College of Rheumatology criteria for knee OA will be randomized into Tai Chi or wellness education interventions for 12 weeks. The investigators will compare changes in resting state functional connectivity of the cognitive control network, and functional magnetic resonance imaging responses to pressure pain and brain morphometry, as well as their association with clinical outcomes. The findings will lead to the establishment of a new treatment paradigm in OA and have broad application to the management of chronic musculoskeletal pain.
