This study aims to evaluate the effectiveness of an oral methylprednisolone taper in reducing postoperative pain, opioid consumption, and nausea following primary total knee arthroplasty (TKA).
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.
The primary aim of this study is to investigate whether low-dose radiotherapy is an effective treatment to reduce the pain of knee osteoarthritis. A secondary aim is to determine whether patients experience any more measurable side effects than those receiving sham treatments.
Prospective, multicenter, two-arm, 2:1 randomized controlled trial (RCT) comparing the benefits in subjects with medial knee osteoarthritis who are treated with either the MISHA Knee System or with non-surgical treatment. This is the first randomized head-to-head study comparing outcomes from subjects treated with the MISHA Knee System.
This is a Pilot Study which is randomized, prospective, open label, dose escalation, non-controlled evaluating safety and feasibility of intra-articular Wharton's Jelly (WJ) allograft will be evaluated in patients suffering with knee osteoarthritis. The participants will be randomized to one of three dosing treatment arms that will consist of one intra-articular knee injection containing either low dose, medium dose or high dose WJ allograft tissue.
The objective is to conduct an early-stage clinical trial in order to provide data required to support a future clinical trial to demonstrate the effectiveness of a culturally acceptable treatment program to increase exercise and regular physical activity among Hispanics with knee osteoarthritis (OA). Hispanic patients with knee OA paired with a chosen family member/close friend will be recruited for study participation. A pilot randomized controlled trial will be conducted. Study pairs will be randomized to receive either: 1) an intervention that will be administered by live video consultations and will include educational sessions about OA, a muscle strengthening program, and a program that will aim to promote regular physical activity involving study pairs; or 2) a control treatment that only includes live video educational sessions about OA. Study participants will fill out a survey before the start of the study and 3 months after.
The aim of this research study is to test the feasibility of a physical and mental health intervention (Positive Minds, Strong Joints or PMSJ) for Black adults with knee osteoarthritis (OA).
A Phase 2 Randomized Study to Evaluate the Effects of triamcinolone acetonide extended-release (TA-ER; Zilretta) vs. triamcinolone acetonide immediate-release (TA-IR; Kenalog) on Blood Glucose Levels in Diabetic Subjects with Knee Osteoarthritis. Subjects should have Type 2 Diabetes Mellitus (T2DM) with HbA1C ≤9 that is managed without insulin and have been diagnosed with symptomatic unilateral or bilateral osteoarthritis (OA) of the knee, based on clinical and radiological criteria (if bilateral, then a target knee will be selected).Total study duration for individual subject will be about 4 months, which includes 3 weeks of Screening period, 10 days of pretreatment phase, treatment day, and 12 weeks of post-treatment period.
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.
The goal of this clinical trial is to learn about how fatigue affects the risk of falling in adults aged 55-70 years with and without knee osteoarthritis. The main questions this trial aims to answer are: * Does fatigue increase the risk of tripping while walking? and * Does fatigue increase the risk of falling in response to a trip while walking? Participants will * Complete questionnaires * Wear a device that measures physical activity for 5-7 days * Complete a 30 minute walk on a treadmill * Complete the following before and after the treadmill walk: * Computer test to measure mental fatigue * Maximal strength testing * Balance test Researchers will compare adults with and without knee osteoarthritis to see if fall risk in adults with knee osteoarthritis is affected more by walking activity compared to adults without knee osteoarthritis.
