Active clinical trials for "Osteoarthritis"

Abstract Objective: To compare effect of PNF therapy with manual therapy on pain, associated symptoms, range of motion and functioning in patients with cervical spine osteoarthritis. Design: Parallel group, single-center, double-blinded randomized controlled trial. Setting: Outpatient clinic in hospital KCRiO. Subject: Eligible patients were female adults with chronic pain of cervical spine due to osteoarthritis of vertebral body and intervertebral disc confirmed by X-ray. Interventions: Group I (PNF group) was treated according to PNF concept, while Group II according to manual therapy (manual therapy group). Both groups received 10 days of treatment, 45 minutes each day. Main measures: Primary outcomes measures were Oswestry scale and range of motion (ROM). Secondary outcomes measures were subjective evaluation of cervical pain according to VAS scale and associated symptoms (headache, vertigo, ROM of shoulder joints, balance). For each scale results were measured at baseline, after two weeks of intervention and after a three-month follow-up period without therapy. Keywords: neck pain, PNF, manual therapy

The Zimmer Hip Resurfacing System Post-Market Clinical Follow-up study will examine the safety and efficacy of this device in the young and/or active patient with advanced hip disease.

Randomized clinical trial in patients with knee osteoarthritis. Sixty patients will be evaluated, divided in three groups (20 in each). One group A will be treated by dry needling in the vast internal, other group B will be treated with a standardized treatment protocol (electrotherapy and manual therapy), and group C will be treated with hialuronic acid. The investigators want to observe which technique is the most effective in osteoarthritis.

This study compares analgesic effect between two techniques of adductor canal nerve block after total knee arthroplasty. The first group of the patients will receive intraoperative adductor canal nerve block; and the other group post operative ultrasound guided adductor canal nerve block. Investigators will measure postoperative opioid consumption, pain management and rehabilitation goals.

The primary aim of our study is to evaluate the validity and reliability of the Fullerton Advanced Balance (FAB-T) scale in individuals with osteoarthritis. The secondary aim of this study is to evaluate the responsiveness of the FAB-T scale to change in patients with osteoarthritis.

This study aims to compare the effects of hyaluronic acid injection and platelet rich plasma injection in terms of pain, physical function and femoral cartilage thickness in short term treatment in patients with knee osteoarthritis.

Participants will be enrolled in a prospective clinical trial to assess outcomes in 2 cohorts of patients undergoing unicompartmental versus more extensive biologic OCA transplantation of the knee using MOPSTM-preserved allografts (including menisci), anatomically-shaped allografts, autogenous bone marrow aspirate concentrate (BMC)-treated donor bone, and treatment-specific postoperative rehabilitation.

The purpose of this study is to determine the feasibility and preliminary efficacy of a two-week self tDCS and mindfulness-based meditation for pain in older adults with knee osteoarthritis (OA).

Clinical trial with medical device, multicenter, single-blind (blind third party evaluation), randomized, comparative and in two paralell groups, to demonstrate the treatment according to usual clinical practice, of the combination of 50 mg Sodium Hyaluronate and 50 mg Chondroitin Sulfate (ENKO 1) in a single administration, has non-inferiority efficacy vs the comparator (Durolane; 60 mg HA crosslinked) in patients with symptomatic knee osteoarthritis after three months of follow-up.

This study is being performed to assess the relative effectiveness of genicular nerve ablation with the COOLIEF* Cooled Radiofrequency probe to manage moderate to severe knee pain in patients with osteoarthritis (OA) of the knee when compared to radiofrequency ablation using a Standard Radiofrequency probe.
