Active clinical trials for "Osteoarthritis"

The aim of the study is to evaluate at 3 months the effect of a supplementation with extracts of Curcuma longa, Boswellia serrata and Porphyra umbilicalis on the acceptability of pain for patients suffering from gonarthritic pain.

It was previously proved an association of TGF-β1 and PDGF-BB with the pathogenesis of osteoarthritis (OA) by experiments of OA animal models. In this study, we aimed to determine whether serum concentrations of TGF-β1, PDGF-BB and CTX-1 were related to the knee OA. knee OA cases were collected from the first affiliated hospital of Shihezi university and healthy controls were recruited from the community. The severity of knee OA was defined as kellgren-lawrence (K-L) classification criteria.Serum levels of chemical biomarkers were compared between knee OA cases and controls or among K-L grade 2 to grade 4 groups. The serum concentrations of the TGF-β1, PDGF-BB and CTX-1 were determined by ELISA .

As the use of Aquamid Reconstruction as an intraarticular device on humans is a relatively novel treatment, it is relevant to assess the safety profile of the device in a safety study to evaluate the safety of the device. This is a retrospective single center cohort study of patients with osteoarthritis of the knee(s) that have been treated for knee OA referred to a clinical evaluation at our department. The study consists of one clinical visit, at which the patients medical history will be taken and upon informed consent adverse events data is collected from medical records. The study is retrospective.

The principal objective of the study is to compare between CT and MRI diagnostic performance (sensibility and specificity) in the preoperative assessment of neurogenic para-osteo-arthritis. The second objectives of the study are: besides the diagnostic performance (sensibility and specificity), to evaluate the imaging par MRI in visual and descriptive manner heterotopic ossification and connection with vascular and nervous structures. to study the concordance (two by two) of results of preoperative obtained by MRI and by CT and operative reports. to study the characteristics of patients with discordant findings (two by two) by MRI, CT scan and operative report.

The purpose of this study is to evaluate if applying a compression bandage on the leg alters early outcome following TKA. The primary objective of this study is to evaluate leg swelling by measuring leg circumference following simultaneous bilateral total knee arthroplasty (TKA) with and without the application of compression bandage.

This study is in response to the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) call to all manufacturers with 510(k) clearance for metal-on-metal (MoM) total hip arthroplasty (THA) devices to conduct postmarket surveillance studies. MicroPort has various acetabular shells, acetabular liners, fixation screws, femoral heads, femoral stems, modular necks, and proximal bodies currently cleared for MoM indications. Together these components comprise the Wright Medical Technology (WMT) MoM THA System. The primary objective of the study is to determine the incidence of adverse local tissue reactions (ALTR) in each THA implanted with the WMT MoM THA System overall and to create cross-sectional epochs of ≤ 8 years and > 8 years, since implantation.

In this longitudinal prospective cohort study including young people with anterior cruciate ligament reconstruction (ACLR), the aims are to 1) study the association between different measures of muscle function and early future of knee osteoarthritis (OA) assessed as patient-reported pain, 2) explore potential associations between muscle function and features indicative of early radiographic OA measured with MRI, and early detection of OA in biomarker profiles, respectively, 3) monitor the patients' functional status, and early OA development over time and 4) investigate the prevalence of early knee OA in individuals 1 and 3 years post ACLR, respectively, compared to non-injured controls.The main hypothesis is that knee extensor weakness predicts future symptomatic OA of the knee (KOOS pain).

This study is conducted to study the efficacy and safety of Niselat in patients with osteoarthritis.

This is a two week,single-blind study evaluating pain response and changes in brain imaging upon treatment with placebo in people with knee OA.

The goal of this observational study is to learn about the association between pain characteristics and cognitive functions in chronic knee osteoarthritis. The main questions it aims to answer are: If pain characteristics affect cognitive functions in severe knee OA patients? If concentration of neuroinflammation mediators were raised in severe knee OA patients with comparing with control group participants? Participants will receive pain and cognition questionnaire before surgery and their blood and CSF will be collected for further analysis of neuroinflammation mediators.
