Active clinical trials for "Osteoarthritis"

The objective of this study is to determine the comparison of Graston technique versus muscle energy technique to improve hamstring flexibility and ADL among patient of knee O.A.

The primary objective is to investigate the active extension six months after implantation of the CapFlex-PIP© arthroplasty, comparing the dorsal with the volar approach. This is a randomized controlled trial including 70 patients with PIP OA indicated for CapFlex arthroplasty.

The proportion of patient successes with the Carbon Modular Radial Head at the 2-year evaluation is no lower than the proportion of patient successes with the Metal Radial Head.

This study will look at patients with post-operative treatment of a meniscal tear or degenerative joint disease (degenerative arthritis). They will be randomized into one of three groups: Euflexxa injection, saline (placebo) injection, or no injection. Those who are randomized into the injection group will receive a series of three injections (one a week for 3 weeks), then a "booster" injection at 6 months post-op. Several questionnaires will be given after the first set of injections, then again at a one year follow-up. The hypothesis is that patients receiving hyaluronic acid injections will have better pain and function scores as compared with placebo and no further treatment at all time points.

Long-Term Follow-up Study of Subjects with Knee Osteoarthritis who had administered FURESTEM-OA Kit Inj. in K0701 study

The goal of this observational study is to evaluate the technique of subchondroplasty in patients with advanced knee osteoarthritis. The main question it aims to answer is: • Does the subchondroplasty technique with the administration of AccuFill Porous Bone Substitute Material (BSM) is effective in the relief of mechanical pain in patient with knee osteoarthritis ? Participants will go under a minimally invasive surgery procedure (subchondroplasty) and fulfil 3 validated questionnaires to assess pain, functional impairments and subjective improvement. This study will be conducted for 4 years.

The main goal of this sham-controlled clinical trial is to learn the excitability levels of the muscles around the knee and balance using objective measurement methods in patients with knee osteoarthritis of non-immersive virtual reality application. The secondary aims of the study are to investigate in which direction the proprioception, physical function level, independence level in activities of daily living, muscle endurance around the knee and patient satisfaction change with non-immersive virtual reality application in patients with knee osteoarthritis. In this study, main questions are to answer: Are non-immersive virtual reality-based knee exercises effective on muscle excitability around the knee and balance in patients with knee osteoarthritis? Are non-immersive virtual reality-based knee exercises effective in improving the level of physical function in patients with knee osteoarthritis? The data collection part of this study will be carried out on volunteers, male and female, who have been diagnosed with knee osteoarthritis by a Physical Medicine and Rehabilitation specialist at Erzurum Atatürk University Training and Research Hospital. After informing the participants about the study, the consent form will be signed. Participants will be patients receiving routine outpatient physical therapy. The study was planned as a randomized controlled trial with a sham-control group. The study group will receive non-immersive virtual reality in addition to traditional physiotherapy, and the control group will receive sham virtual reality exercise in addition to traditional physiotherapy.

Osteoarthritis symptoms can be managed with non-drug treatments such as patient education, exercise or weight loss interventions. Cryotherapy is one of the effective method to reduce joint inflammation, pain and improve function. Another method is joint mobilization, which can also reduce pain and improve function. Based on this theory, it was hypothesized that cryotherapy will have better effect on pain and the quality of life, whereas joint mobilization will be more effective on knee function. The aim of the study was to compare the effects of different physiotherapy methods on pain, knee joint function and quality of life in individuals with osteoarthritis.

the aim of this study is to investigate the efficacy of Combination Therapy on Knee Osteoarthritis Pain in Postmenopausal Women
