Active clinical trials for "Osteoarthritis"

The aim of the proposed study is to perform a comparative pilot, randomized controlled trial of hip arthroscopy versus definitive total hip arthroplasty (THA) for the treatment of early hip osteoarthritis (Tönnis Grade 1-2) in patients between the ages of 40-60 years.

The primary objective of this study is to evaluate the safety and efficacy of CNTX-6970 for the treatment of pain related to OA of the knee compared to placebo. CNTX-6970 is being developed as a new treatment for chronic pain, including painful osteoarthritis of the knee.

This is a randomized, single-blind, parallel, active-controlled study to evaluate the efficacy and safety of bone marrow mesenchymal stem cells (BM-MSCs), Chondrochymal®, in subjects aged 40 to 80 with knee OA.

The purpose of this study is to see if cannabidiol (CBD) orally dissolving tablets (ODTs) can lessen pain, improve function, and improve patient satisfaction in cases of knee osteoarthritis. CBD comes from the cannabis plant and is non-psychoactive (i.e. does not produce a 'high' or altered mental state) as compared to tetrahydrocannabinol (THC), another compound found in cannabis. Researchers are studying different forms of CBD for potential use in treating pain, inflammation, and illnesses.

In patients with early to mid-stage knee osteoarthritis (OA), a conservative treatment is indicated. In medial knee OA (when mainly the medial compartment of the knee is affected by OA), lateral wedge insoles have been promoted as cost effective and simple solution. However, clinical trials report conflicting results, with some reporting no benefit while others reported a small decrease in knee pain. Recent studies reported medial OA patients to have a tendency to a plano-valgus foot deformity, which is associated with a varus lower limb alignment and an internal rotation of the tibia. Some authors thus proposed the correction of plano-valgus deformity with foot deformity correcting insoles instead of lateral wedge insoles. Until today, only one study investigated the effect of foot deformity correcting insoles (e.g. with medial arch support) as alternative to lateral wedge insoles and reported encouraging results. However, they used lateral wedge insoles with custom arch support instead of foot deformity correcting customized insoles along (without lateral wedge). Furthermore, they did not perform any biomechanical analyses. The primary object of this study is to compare the effect of foot deformity correcting insoles for plano-valgus foot deformities and lateral wedge insoles on knee load distribution, knee pain and patient reported outcome measures in early to mid-stage medial knee OA patients after 6 and 12 months.

The purpose of this study was to investigate the effects of obesity on knee degenerative arthritis on body composition after dietary control and elastic resistance exercise; and whether persistent exercise habits and dietary control can relieve pain and strengthen muscle strength. Improve the quality of life and the decline of other risk factors.

To demonstrate the efficacy of the combined use of platelet-rich plasma (PRP) with lipoaspirate and/or bone marrow aspirate in osteoarthritis of major joints, and to compare the outcomes achieved using three combinations: PRP plus lipoaspirate, PRP plus bone marrow aspirate, and PRP plus both lipoaspirate and bone marrow aspirate.

In this clinical trial the investigator assess the safety and efficacy of a single injection of a combination of cross-linked hyaluronic acid (HA) with autologous platelet-rich plasma (PRP) obtained with the RegenMatrix medical device to improve symptoms of moderate to severe knee osteoarthitis (grade III-IV Kellgren-Lawrence).

The aim of this study was to compare the effects of anti-gravity treadmill training and traditional treadmill training treatments combined with strengthening exercises on patients' pain levels, quality of life, distal femoral cartilage thickness, and functional capacity in patients with moderate and severe knee OA. In addition, it was aimed to compare the compliance of the patients to aerobic exercise.

Introduction: Osteoarthritis (OA) of the knee is a musculoskeletal disorder and is associated with significant implications related to public health and socioeconomic factors resulting in leave from work. Currently, there are several types of conservative treatment for this pathology, such as medications and mainly muscle strengthening, recommended by international guidelines. It can be associated with neuromuscular electrostimulation (NMES) as with the Aussie Current, for example, which aims to increase strength and function earlier. Objective: To determine whether the effectiveness of adding NMES to the Aussie Current in patients with knee OA who receive treatment based on the principles of conventional physiotherapy, in relation to pain relief, improvement of functional disability and muscle strength. Materials and Method: Forty individuals will be randomly distributed in two groups, with group 1 (G1) exercises and placebo application of electrostimulation and group 2 (G2) exercises and application of NMES with the Aussie current in the quadriceps femoris muscle. In the treatment, 24 sessions will be carried out in a period of 12 weeks based on the gold standard for the treatment of knee OA. Clinical outcomes of pain intensity, functional disability and muscle strength will be measured at baseline, immediately after 12-week treatment and after 24-week follow-up by a single blinded evaluator at all stages. All statistical procedures will be carried out following the principles of "intention to treat" and the comparison between groups will be carried out through the test of Mixed Linear Models. Expected Results: It is expected that there will be improvement in the variables: pain, functional capacity and strength in both the groups, however in the group that carried out the application of the Aussie Current, the gains would be more precocious, when compared to the group that did not carry out the NMES.
