NCT05079035
It is hypothesized that a single Intra-articular Injection of TTAX03, 100mg in 2mL of saline, will have more benefit with respect to the proportion of responders 12 weeks post-injection than an equal volume of saline, based on the OMERACT-OARSI responder criteria.
NCT06466330
The goal of this clinical investigation is to evaluate the effectiveness on pain of arterial occlusion (embolization) of neovessels by microparticle in a double-blind sham controlled randomised trial in patients with persistent pain on a total knee prosthesis (TKP), inserted for gonarthrosis, despite well-conducted medical treatment. The study patient population will consist of up to 112 subjects with knee pain for at least 3 months that is resistant to conservative treatment measures. Subjects will be treated with knee embolisation or saline in the sham arm. The efficacy of embolization will be judged on the basis of the following criteria: improvement in pain, mobility, use of pain medication, adverse effects of embolization and duration of improvement. After verification of eligibility criteria, patients with painful total knee prosthesis will be randomized to either the embolization group or the control group. Embolization will be performed using microparticles (Embozene® Microspheres 100 microns from Varian), for the treatment group. For the "sham " group, only diagnostic arteriography will be performed without injection of microparticles. Subjects will be followed up at 1, 3, 6 and 12 months.
NCT06915363
The goal of this randomized controlled clinical trial is to demonstrate the safety and effectiveness of the BioPoly® Partial Resurfacing Knee Implant for the treatment of cartilage defects of the distal femur in adult patients with knee pain and symptoms who are candidates for surgical intervention of the knee compared to outcomes for the control group. The primary effectiveness endpoint is Month 24 composite clinical success (CCS) defined by: * no secondary surgical intervention (SSI) and * an improvement from baseline in the Knee injury and Osteoarthritis Outcome Score (KOOS) total score (scaled 0 to 100) of at least 10 points. Researchers will compare the CCS for the investigational device group to a control group receiving the standard of care, either microfracture or debridement). Subjects randomized to the investigational group will receive the BioPoly Knee device and those randomized to the control group will receive the current standard of care, either microfracture or debridement.
NCT06734052
The goal of this clinical trial is to learn if a brief health coaching intervention based on an approach known as brief action planning + Fitbit can increase physical activity in employees with chronic knee symptoms who work for Advocate Aurora Health. The main questions it aims to answer are: * Will a greater proportion of people in the health coaching intervention increase physical activity to at least 150 minutes of moderate-to-vigorous physical activity per week than a group of people with an attention-control intervention (Fitbit+health education coaching)? * Can we predict who will not increase physical activity levels to at least 150 minutes of moderate-to-vigorous physical activity per week by the end of the study (3 and 6 months) based upon Fitbit data captured over the first four weeks? Researchers will compare a health education coaching intervention + Fitbit to see if providing a Fitbit + attention control will increase physical activity to at least 150 minutes of moderate-to-vigorous physical activity per week among members of the attention-control group. Participants will engage in * Online study orientation and question and answer session * Three assessment sessions (baseline, 3 months, 6 months) * A 12 week intervention with no less than four (4) and no more than twelve (12) health coaching sessions. Physical activity health coaching will make action plans for health coaching. Health education coaching will focus on educating participants on non-physical activity factors related to a comprehensive management of chronic knee symptoms, such as managing fatigue, sleep hygiene, mindfulness, etc.

NCT05656014
The goal of this observational study is to investigate the relationships between the medial longitudinal arch (MLA) height of the foot and clinical and radiological characteristics of knee osteoarthritis in adult patients 50 aged and over. The main questions it aims to answer are: * Is there any relationship between knee pain and disability in knee osteoarthritis and MLA height? * Is there any relationship between the radiologic severity of knee osteoarthritis and MLA height? * Is there any relationship between knee joint alignment in knee osteoarthritis and MLA height?
NCT04620525
Osteoarthritis (OA) is the most common form of arthritis and for 4 in 10 people pain from OA is not adequately controlled. The pain experience of people suffering from chronic pain largely depends on their individual perception of pain and on brain functions, in particular what is called "cognitive" functions. Cognitive functions include memory, attention, organisation and planning, task initiation, regulation of emotions and reflection of oneself and are important for everyday tasks, such as following a conversation or a story in a book or on TV, learning new things, remembering old and new information and making decisions. Good cognition predicts the risk of developing chronic pain after a painful event, such as surgery. Chronic pain patients report numerous cognitive impairments, with attention and memory being the two most prominent that can persist even after the original cause of pain has been treated. Little evidence exists regarding the nature and magnitude of these deficits and their underlying brain and psychological mechanisms in chronic knee OA. The investigators want to understand which cognitive functions and to what extent are associated with pain in patients with knee OA.
NCT06302218
Effect of iPACK block with Adductor Canal Block and ESPB on pain management, and NLR and PLR following knee arthroplasty
NCT04989023
The study aims to evaluate the effect of low load resistance training combined with blood flow restriction or sham blood flow restriction in patients with anterior knee pain and rotator cuff related shoulder pain in a cross-over two-arm randomized, participant and assessor blinded design. More specifically, we aim to investigate the acute and short-term hypoalgesic response (by evaluating pressure pain detection thresholds) of low load exercise with blood flow restriction or sham blood flow restriction, the effect of these interventions in pain during clinical testing, and the possibility of a placebo effect.
NCT06197958
Patellofemoral pain syndrome is due to dysfunctional dynamic knee valgus resulting from decrease in strength of hip abductors or abnormal rear-foot eversion with pes pronatus valgus. It is also associated with vastus medialis/vastus lateralis disbalance, hamstring tightness or iliotibial tract tightness.
NCT06094660
A randomised controlled triall (RCT) with three parallel arms comparing the functional outcome of chemical ablation with phenol and radiofrequency ablation (RFA) of the genicular nerves with conservative treatment in patients with chronic knee pain caused by osteoarthritis (OA).
NCT05830344
Knee pain is among the most common reasons for musculoskeletal pain consultations, accounting for nearly 4 million primary care visits annually. Knee pain can have different causes such as, tendinopathies, synovitis, bursitis, trauma, etc. Considering the importance and high incidence of musculoskeletal disorders that affect the knee joint, a variety of therapeutic modalities has been employed to alleviate pain and repair the tissue. Among these conservative treatments, photobiomodulation therapy (PBMT) has been shown to stimulate tendon and ligament healing, and decrease the pain. Therefore, the aim of this study is to determine the effectiveness of the Multi Radiance Medical® Super Pulsed Laser, manufactured by Multi Radiance Medical®, for adjunctive use in providing temporary relief of chronic knee pain of musculoskeletal origin.
NCT05871112
Analysis of patellar positioning in the trochlear groove after TKA with and without the use of dynamic tensioner.
NCT05286996
Total Knee Arthroplasty (TKA) is also known as a knee replacement. It is one of the most common orthopaedic (bone) surgeries performed and is usually very successful, but some people who have had a knee replacement feel pain that lasts for at least 3 months after surgery and thus continue to take pain control/ analgesic (opioids) medication. Opiates are medications like morphine. Pain post-surgery can make it difficult to recover and return to daily activities. A better control of pain before the surgery, can help people feel less pain, recover faster, and use less opioids after surgery. Cryoneurolysis means freezing the nerves that can cause pain. It uses very low temperatures in a specific body part (e.g., nerves to the knee) to freeze the pain nerves and therefore reduce the pain. When applied before the surgery it might help with postoperative pain after knee replacement. This study will evaluate Iovera, a cryoneurolysis handheld device commercially available in Canada that delivers freezing cold to a target nerve by using nitrous oxide. Cryoneurolysis can relieve pain and symptoms associated with osteoarthritis of the knee for up to 90 days.
NCT04670042
SPRINT PNS System will be offered to patients with postoperative knee pain following primary unilateral total knee arthroplasty (TKA) who meet eligibility criteria and consistent with established coverage policy. SPRINT PNS System will be implanted for 60 days. At the discretion of the physician, the first lead may be placed to stimulate the nerve innervating the region of greatest pain. If pain is not adequately addressed by the first lead when assessed at 10 days, a second lead may be placed approximately 2 weeks following the initial lead placement.
