Hypnosis Intervention for the Management of Pain Perception During Joint Lavage
The purpose of this study is to determine whether hypnosis intervention added to usual care is more effective than usual care alone to control pain during lavage procedure in patients with knee osteoarthrosis
Evaluation of Mobility in Subjects With Severe Knee Osteoarthritis Who Are to Undergo Total Knee Replacement
Osteoarthritis (OA) is the most common joint disease. It is characterized by a progressive destruction of all the components of the joint, especially the cartilage. This leads to pain, loss of mobility and can be a major handicap for some patients. Gonarthrosis, or osteoarthritis of the knee, affects 30% of …
Diet Interventions, by Race, Evaluated as Complementary Treatments for Pain
Knee osteoarthritis (OA) is the most prevalent form of arthritis and race is a risk factor for poor outcomes. Non-Hispanic Black individuals (NHB) report greater disability and pain severity compared to Non-Hispanic Whites (NHW). These differences are reinforced through social and biological mechanisms, ultimately resulting in disparities in pain experience …
Fluoroscopic Versus Ultrasound Guidance for Cooled Radiofrequency Ablation of Geniculate Nerves in Knee Osteoarthritis: A Randomized Control Trial
Cooled radiofrequency ablation (cRFA) of the knee geniculate nerves is a promising treatment option for knee osteoarthritis, but has variable efficacy. Fluoroscopy is the typical guidance of choice, but uses bony landmarks to target these nerves which have variable positions around the knee. Alternatively, ultrasound allows for targeting based on …
Comparison of Custom and Standard Total Knee Replacements
Total knee arthroplasty (TKA) is the most common surgery in North America and the second most common in Europe. One of the most critical issues for stability and durability of the interventional is the prosthesis-bone geometric fit, where a required a perfect match; the recent availability of custom 3D implants …
Effect of Sarcopenia on Clinical Outcome of Total Knee Arthroplasty
As human life expectancy increases, the prevalence of degenerative osteoarthritis of the knee joints is steadily rising, leading to a significant surge in the frequency of total knee arthroplasty (TKA). However, research on sarcopenia in the population that comprises the primary recipients of these orthopedic joint surgeries has been notably …
Evaluation of the Structural Modification Effect of Diacerein (Artrodar®) in Knee Osteoarthritic Patients
This study evaluates the structure-modifying effect of Diacerein (Artrodar ®) in knee osteoarthritic (OA) patients by measuring total cartilage volume from magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) of the knee. Half of participants will receive Diacerein (Artrodar ®), while the other half will receive a placebo.
Effects of Gait Retraining on Lower Extremity Biomechanics
The purpose of this proposed study is to investigate both the acute and chronic response of frontal plane knee moment after gait retraining and to assess the effects on the biomechanics of the contralateral side. Fifty-one patients diagnosed with tibiofemoral joint osteoarthritis (TFJ OA) will be recruited to participate in …
Investigation of the Effect of Proximal and Distal Adductor Canal Block in Knee Replacement Surgery
to investigate the effect of adductor canal block applied with two different approaches in the treatment of pain after TKA surgery on pain control and functional mobility.
Investigating the Role of Motivational Interviewing in Swedish Patients Undergoing Knee Arthroplasty
Knee arthroplasty is a successful surgical treatment for end-stage osteoarthritis. Most patients are satisfied with the result, however, 10% of the patients have remained dissatisfied over the last decades despite the advantages of the surgical procedure. Previous studies suggest that rehabilitation needs to be individualized and that some patients request …
