Active clinical trials for "Osteoarthritis, Knee"

The purpose of the study is to compare the effects of compressive myofascial release and conventional knee osteoarthritis treatment to correct lateral patellar tracking. A randomized control trial was conducted at Railway General Hospital, Ahad Medicare clinics and physiotherapy Centre and The Health Professional physiotherapy clinic Bahria town phase 6. The sample size was 52 calculated through open-epi tool. The participants were divided into two interventional groups each having 26 participants. The study duration was six months. Sampling technique applied was non probability convenient sampling for recruitment and group randomization using sealed enveloped method. Only participants who were 50 years above with grade 2 and 3 knee osteoarthritis were included in the study. Tools used in this study are Q angle, numeric pain rating scale, goniometry and WOMAC questionnaire, Self structured Questionnaire. Data was collected at baseline, at the end of 3rd session and 6th session. Data analyzed through SPSS version 23.

The purpose of this research is to study how well the adductor canal pain catheters works after a total knee arthroplasty or replacement of the knee joint. The catheter works by using either an intermittent bolus injection to provide a large dose of medication or continuous infusion of pain medicine, ropivacaine 0.2%, compared to a single-shot adductor canal block.

This study will include 3 different groups of intervention. First group of knee osteoarthritis patients will be applied both strengthening and 30 minutes bicycle exercises in the same session, 2 days strecthing exercises and 30 minutes walking will be given in seperate days as home program, Second group of knee osteoarthritis patients will be applied both stretching and 30 minutes bicycle exercises in the same session, strengthening exercises and 30 minutes walking will be given in seperate days as home program.Third group of knee osteoarthritis patients will be applied all stretching, strengthening and 30 minutes bicycle exercises in the same session, only 30 minutes walking will be given as home program. The primary outcome measures include the pain, function and the secondary outcome measures include the joint proprioception. The aim of this study is to investigate the effects on outcome measures increasing number of exercises in one session and to determine which exercise types are more suitable to prescribe as a home program.

Knee osteoarthritis (OA) is a disease with significant levels of socioeconomic burden to the society. P The non-pharmacologic interventions in knee OA include weight loss, exercise, and physical therapy. In this study, we aimed to to compare the cost-effectiveness of inpatient and outpatient physical therapy programs in patients with knee osteoarthritis.

The aim of this prospective, randomized, controlled multi-centre study is to compare the effectiveness and safety of three and five injections of standard linear hyaluronic acid (HA) versus single HA injection in terms of pain intensity and functional status in patients with knee osteoarthritis.

One-year follow-up prospective observational study involving male and female patients (over 18-years-old) with unilateral or bilateral knee osteoarthritis treated with intraarticular injection of stromal vascular fraction (SVF) treatment. Clinical, biological and radiological data before the treatment and 1-month, 6-month and a year after are collected. The research hypothesis supports that SVF treatment enhance functionality and quality of live, relieves pain and improves magnetic resonance images of joint cartilage in patients with knee osteoarthritis.

This is a single-site, two-arm, parallel-group randomized clinical trial (RCT). The feasibility, acceptability, and clinical effects of the nurse-led, very brief, preoperative mindfulness based intervention for hip and knee replacement patients will be investigated relative to nurse-led preoperative pain psychoeducation. A secondary sub-analysis will compare two different styles of mindfulness practice (mindfulness of breath vs. mindfulness of pain) relative to preoperative pain psychoeducation.

The main objective of the study is to compare the effects of Blood flow Restriction training vs. traditional exercises on knee pain , knee functional disability and on quadriceps strength in patient with knee osteoarthritis.

The aim of this research is to compare the effects of Graston Technique, active release technique and PNF stretching on hamstring flexibility in Patients with Knee Osteoarthritis. Randomized controlled trials done at Riphah International University, Islamabad.. The sample size was 45. The subjects were divided in three groups, 15 subjects in Graston Technique group, 15 subjects in active release technique group and 15 in PNF stretching group. Study duration was of 6 months. Sampling technique applied was non probability purposive sampling technique. Male and female patients greater than 30 years of age, with unilateral or bilateral OA of grade 1 and 2 in Kellegren and Lawrence criteria for knee OA, having UL/BL hamstring tightness, Pain > 3 on NPRS, ROM > 200 from AKE test were included. Tools used in the study are NPRS, AKE test by goniometer, Lower extremity functional index (LEFI) and WOMAC.

This study compares and evaluates differences in patient-reported outcome, survivorship and radiological analysis between patients undergoing total knee arthroplasty with use of either Zimmer Biomet PERSONA Posterior Stabilized (PS) system and Smith&Nephew Journey II Bi-Cruciate Stabilized (BCS) system
