NCT07544693
This study aims to examine the effects of moderate-intensity strength training, performed with or without an unloading knee orthosis (valgus-corrective or sham mode), on muscle function, motor unit behavior, and force modulation in patients with moderate knee osteoarthritis
NCT07036003
The goal of this clinical trial is to see if people with knee osteoarthritis would be willing to comply and adhere to incorporating Recombinant Human Growth Hormone (rHGH), specifically Saizen Somatropin solution, into their treatment plan. Participants will be asked to: * Self-inject the treatment solution (placebo or somatropin) into the abdominal or gluteal area once per day for a total of 6 weeks. * Complete questionnaires related to their knee pain and activities of daily living. * Provide blood tests. * Complete various measurements including: circumference of thigh, calf, and abdomen; strength of thigh and knee; range of motion of both knees; and gait analysis.
NCT07302724
The aim of this prospective randomized controlled study was to determine whether the timing of drain removal in relation to continuous passive motion (CPM) application influences postoperative residual hematoma formation following primary total knee arthroplasty (TKA). Our primary hypothesis was that removing the drain after initiating CPM would result in less residual hematoma, as CPM-induced intra-articular fluid and blood mobilization would be evacuated through the drain before its removal, thereby reducing postoperative fluid accumulation.
NCT06758388
The goal of this prospective randomised controled study is to investigate the effect of 8-weeks brisk walking exercise on irisin levels, physical and psychosocial parameters in individuals with knee osteoarthritis, and the relationship between irisin levels and physical and psychosocial parameters. The main question it aims to answer is: does 8-weeks brisk walking exercise increase irisin levels and imoroves physical and psychosocial parameters and is the irisin level in relation with the physical and psychosocial parameters.
NCT07078149
This study, called the RATKA-EARLY trial, was designed to compare two surgical techniques used in total knee replacement (also known as total knee arthroplasty or TKA). The aim was to determine whether the use of a robotic surgical system (ROSA® Knee System) offers short-term clinical advantages over the traditional manual technique. A total of 68 adult patients with advanced knee osteoarthritis scheduled for TKA were enrolled. Participants were randomly assigned to one of two groups: 34 patients underwent robot-assisted TKA (RATKA), and 34 underwent conventional manual TKA (mTKA). All surgeries were performed by the same experienced surgical team, using the same type of implant. Researchers assessed intraoperative and perioperative variables (such as surgical duration and blood loss), and evaluated early clinical outcomes at 3 months postoperatively by comparing pain levels, implant alignment, knee function, mobility, and overall patient satisfaction with baseline values. The study was conducted at Hospital Universitario Santa Cristina in Madrid, Spain. It was approved by the local ethics committee and carried out in accordance with the Declaration of Helsinki and international research guidelines. By comparing these two surgical approaches, the study aims to help patients and healthcare professionals make informed decisions regarding total knee replacement options.
NCT04833946
Sponsor aimed to study hydroalcoholic extract of Andrographis paniculata (for its effect on OA disease progression in OA patients with moderate to severe knee OA. Hydroalcoholic extract of Andrographis paniculata (standardized for 50% bioactive andrographolides).Andrographis paniculata may have an effect on increasing the expression of collagen type II protein and also mitigate the migration of inflammatory cells or angiogenesis
NCT06870656
This study compares the effects of three different intensities of Muscle Isometric Contraction (MIC) on balance ability, proprioception, muscle strength, KOA symptoms, and inflammatory factors in synovial fluid among elderly individuals with Knee Osteoarthritis (KOA).
NCT06674759
The clinical trial has a research cycle of 24 weeks. The first 12 weeks are multicenter, randomized, double-blind, controlled trials. A total of 72 patients with knee osteoarthritis with liver-kidney deficiency syndrome and/or cold-dampness arthralgia syndrome are planned to be enrolled and randomly assigned to the control group (Tongren-Dahuoluo Bolus) and the treatment group (Tongren-Dahuoluo Bolus Placebo) in a 1:1 ratio. The purpose is to compare the safety and efficacy of Tongren-Dahuoluo Bolus and placebo in treating knee osteoarthritis. A long-term blind extension study will be conducted in the next 12 weeks. All subjects will take Tongren-Dahuoluo Bolus orally to evaluate the long-term safety, tolerability, and efficacy of Tongren-Dahuoluo Pills in treating patients with knee osteoarthritis.
