Ischemic Preconditioning in Osteoarthritis and Back Pain
We are examining the use of restricted blood flow, through full occlusion, on a single thigh for 50 minutes (5 minutes on, 5 minutes off), completed every other day for 2 weeks to improve function in individuals with knee osteoarthritis and low back pain.
Hip Abductor Strengthening Exercises in Knee Osteoarthritis
The aim of this randomized controlled trial is to find the effect of hip abductor strengthening exercises on pain, range of motion, functional disability and balance in patient with knee osteoarthritis.
Acupuncture vs Sham Acupuncture for Hand Osteoarthritis
The investigators plan to conduct this multicentered, sham-controlled randomized clinical trial to evaluate the efficacy and safety of acupuncture for clinical symptomatic improvement of hand OA.
Platelet-rich Plasma in Symptomatic Knee Osteoarthritis
Intro Platelet rich plasma (PRP) is largely used in various musculoskeletal disorders such as chronic tendinopathies but also osteoarthritis (OA). Several therapeutic trials evaluating the effectiveness of intra-articular PRP injections in knee OA as well as meta-analyses have already been published. Most of them have compared PRP to Hyaluronic Acid …
Positive Minds Strong Joints for Knee Osteoarthritis
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).
Individual Differences in Gait and Osteoarthritis Pain
The goal of this observational study is to look at inter-individual differences in knee osteoarthritis (OA) walking pain and performance. The main questions this study aims to answer are: Why do some people with knee osteoarthritis have more severe disabling pain than others, even though the degenerative changes in their …
HILT Dose Optimization for Knee Osteoarthritis Pain
This study aims to find the best settings (dose) for High-Intensity Laser Therapy (HILT) to reduce pain and improve function in people with moderate knee osteoarthritis. Participants will be randomly assigned to receive one of three different doses of HILT (low, medium, or high) or a sham (placebo) laser treatment, …
Perineural Prolotherapy in Chronic Knee Osteoarthritis Pain.
The aim of this study is to test whether the addition of dextrose to perineural injections is superior to local anesthetic alone, as some initial data have indicated. To enhance the potential therapeutic effect, we will proceed to a 4-point injection technique, targeting 4 genicular nerves (superomedial, superolateral, inferomedial, recurrent …
Effect of Probiotic Supplements on Osteoarthritis Outcomes
Dysbiosis of the gut microbiota is believed to contribute to the development and progression of osteoarthritis (OA), suggesting a role for probiotics in the treatment of OA. Animal studies have shown that certain probiotic strains decrease the inflammatory responses, pain sensitization and OA progression. There are, however, few clinical studies …
Early Feasibility Study of Cartilage Defect Repair
Any patient aged 14 or older up to 64 years of age with hip disease, resulting in loss of articular cartilage integrity on the femoral head (e.g., femoroacetabular impingement or other structural deformity), has failed conservative care, and is a candidate for surgical intervention to treat.
