The purpose of this study is to measure the change in pain and function with subcutaneous injections of pentosan polysulfate sodium (PPS) compared with subcutaneous injections of placebo in participants with knee OA pain. Study details include: * The study duration will be up to 64 weeks. * The treatment duration will be 6 weeks. * The visit frequency will be twice weekly during treatment. * The visit/contact frequency will be every 4-6 weeks during the 52-week Follow-up period. * Approximately 466 participants will be enrolled into this study.
Genicular Artery Embolization for Reducing Pain in Symptomatic Knee Osteoarthritis: A Pilot Randomized Sham-Controlled Study (SHAM-PAIN) is a NIH-NIAMS funded project designed to assess enrollment feasibility and detect any differences between GAE and a similar sham intervention in reducing KOA-related pain at 3 months as measured by the Knee injury and Osteoarthritis Outcome Score (KOOS) pain subscore. Additionally, this study aims to determine the magnitude of difference in pain response between GAE and sham to adequately power a larger, more definitive randomized sham-controlled trial (RCT). The influence of psychosocial and psychocognitive factors, changes in analgesic use, and conditions of knee joint cartilage and effusion will similarly be explored to determine their impacts on perceived pain response to GAE.
This pilot randomize trial tests the feasibility of administering two different exercise programs in people with knee osteoarthritis. One group receives the exercise program administered as usual, and the other group received the exercise program with resting intervals.
The primary goal of this clinical trial is to learn if PIPE-791 is safe and well-tolerated in adults with chronic osteoarthritis pain (COAP) or chronic low back pain (CLBP). The study will also explore whether PIPE-791 lowers pain in people with COAP or CLBP. Subjects will: * Complete a washout period to stop their current pain medications. * Take a daily dose of PIPE-791 or placebo for 4 weeks, then reverse treatment assignment for another 4 weeks. * Record pain levels and track dosing in a daily e-diary. * Visit the clinic for checkups and lab tests throughout the study. * Complete phone assessments during the treatment periods.
The goal of this clinical trial is to assess the use of a generative artificial intelligence large language model chatbot in improving decision making factors in patients with hip and knee osteoarthritis. The main questions it aims to answer are: Does the use of an artificial intelligence chatbot have an effect on decisional conflict and anxiety related to decision making? Are changes in decisional conflict correlated with changes in patient reported outcomes? Are changes in decisional conflict correlated with health literacy? Participants will interact with an artificial intelligence chatbot prior to their clinic visit with an orthopaedic surgeon, using a structured prompt.
The goal of this clinical trial is to evaluate the effectiveness of Neural Ice for pain management associated with knee osteoarthritis in adults aged 22-80 years. Participants will attend study visits and complete subject diaries. Participants will be followed for 6 months after study procedure.
This is a multicenter, randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled, parallel group, 6-week trial of a formulation of AMZ001 once daily versus placebo once daily.
The purpose of this clinical trial is to compare the analgesic effects (relief of pain) of glucocorticoids (steroids) and pain medication versus pain medication alone in adult patients presenting to the emergency department with joint pain due to osteoarthritis. Steroids are drugs that can reduce inflammation and are used commonly for many different medical conditions. In brief, the central aims of the study are to: 1. Assess the efficacy of adding oral glucocorticoid medications to the standard pain medications used to treat the pain of osteoarthritis. 2. Assess the safety and tolerability of oral glucocorticoid medication for the short-term treatment of osteoarthritis pain. We hypothesize that: 1) The addition of glucocorticoids to standard pain medications will improve reported pain scores at 3 days following the initiation of treatment compared to standard pain medications alone and 2) The use of glucocorticoids will be well tolerated. Participants in the study will be randomized (like flipping a coin) into one of three groups: 1. Study Group 1 (Control) receiving placebo pills (no active ingredient) once a day for 5 days, plus ibuprofen (pain medication) for 5 days. 2. Study Group 2 (Intervention A) who will receive prednisone (steroid) once a day for 5 days, plus ibuprofen (pain medication) for 5 days. 3. Study Group 3 (Intervention B) who will receive one dose of dexamethasone (steroid) followed by placebo pills (no active ingredient) once a day for 4 days, plus ibuprofen (pain medication) for 5 days. In all groups, acetaminophen (a different pain medication) can be taken as needed for pain that is not controlled with ibuprofen. Participants will: * Receive follow up phone calls at 1, 3, 7 and 14 days. * Report pain scores related to joint pain. * Report the number of pills taken of the various medications used in the study. * Report any adverse events incurred during the follow up period.
This study is being conducted to evaluate the safety and tolerability of OA-SYS in patients with moderate to severe OA of the knee joint.
Osteoarthritis is a disease that affects millions of Americans and is the leading cause of persistent pain and physical disability in the older adult population. Many physically active Americans have reported pain-relieving effects of cannabidiol (CBD) that can reduce or eliminate use of nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs) for activity-related pain with minimal to no side effects. Long-term use of over-the-counter medications, including NSAIDs, can pose a significant health risk, and therefore clinical research on the safety and efficacy of CBD is needed.
