Active clinical trials for "Osteoarthritis"

This study will evaluate the efficacy of two doses of Intra-Articular Injection of Ampion™ in Adults with pain due to osteoarthritis of the knee.

The aim of this study is to evaluate the cortical excitability in pain of knee osteoarthritis (OA), as well as the effect of one session of a kind of electroacupuncture (deep needling intramuscular stimulation therapy - DIMST) in this pain and the cortical excitability after the intervention. The hypothesis is that cortical excitability is altered in this condition, confirming the findings already described in other chronic pain conditions. The investigators also believe that a session DIMST can reduce pain and alter cortical excitability, restoring its previous activity will occur from chronic pain.

This trial is a multi-center, randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled, parallel, phase II clinical trial and aimed at osteoarthritis of the knee. Patients who signed informed consent voluntarily and eligible for this study are assigned randomly to one of 3 groups after 2 week-Washout period. st group (experimental) : WIN-34B 450mg BID nd group (experimental) : WIN-34B 900mg BID rd group (Comparator) : Placebo BID Patients will take WIN-34B or Placebo BID for 12 weeks. Based on baseline, after 4 weeks(Visit 3) and 12 weeks(Visit 5), Researchers check patients' physical examination, questionnaire, laboratory experiment. After 8 weeks(Visit 4), researchers check adverse effects and current medication status via telephone interview. After 12 weeks(Visit 5) patients stop taking drugs and after 16 weeks(Visit 6) researchers check patients' physical examination, questionnaire, adverse effects and current medication status.

The purpose of this study is to find out how effective and feasible an 8-week course of Swedish massage is, for reducing pain and increasing function in adults who are VA healthcare users, with osteoarthritis (OA) of the knee.

This study aims to study use of viscosupplementation as a treatment of pain for young individuals who are active. Typically viscosupplementation is considered an intervention for knee osteoarthritis often for older patients who are less active. Many young active patients can also develop knee osteoarthritis after trauma or surgery or for congenital reasons. Treatment of these patients commonly are steroid injections which have more biologically detrimental effects for cartilage compared to viscosupplementation Synvisc One injections which are a single injection will be used to determine effectiveness of reducing pain and maintaining an active healthy lifestyle for younger patients aged 30-50 years old.

The purpose of this study is to translate a proven pain coping skills intervention for osteoarthritis (OA) patients into an engaging and easy-to-use Internet-based intervention that uses innovative technologies to mimic traditional, in-person training sessions.

Osteoarthritis is a common disease that causes muscle weakness, stiffness and instability. The disease reduces the opportunities for an active lifestyle. Exercise Therapy provides a well-documented effect on pain and function in patients with osteoarthritis of the hip. It is sought an optimal dose of exercise, in which this study will help to investigate. We hypothesize that an exercise program designed to have a high number of repetitions will benefit the outcome of the training in a more positive way than a low-repetition based program.

Computer assistance in prosthetic hip surgery is able to improve the accuracy of the surgery: Associating hip navigation and EOSTM imaging pre-operatively could simplify the procedure of hip navigation in lateral decubitus while maintaining the accuracy of the technique

The purpose of this study is to evaluate the relative osseomechanical strength of a novel coated pin/screw in a clinical model.

The purpose of this study is to evaluate the efficacy and safety of Transdermal therapeutic system (TTS) fentanyl patches (transdermal patch containing a drug that is put on the skin so the drug will enter the body through the skin) in knee osteoarthritis (disorder, which is seen mostly in older persons, in which the joints become painful and stiff) participants with moderate to severe pain.
