Osteoarthritis of the Knee
Prospective single-masked (study participant will be masked), randomized controlled trial to examine the influence of BMAC on patient-reported outcomes (PROs) in patients with primary knee osteoarthritis.
Osteoarthitis · Osteoarthritic Knee Pain · Osteoarthritis (OA)
The primary purpose of this study is to find out if there is a difference in pain experienced in patients with knee arthritis of the inside of their knee if they get a steroid injection on the inside or outside of their knee. Participants will: 1. Be randomly divided into getting their steroid injection on the inside or outside of their knee. 2. Answer a pain survey before their injection as well as over the phone 2 weeks, 6 weeks, and 12 weeks after their injection.
Osteoarthritis Shoulder
Some patients may experience persistent pain in the front of their shoulder after reverse shoulder replacement. One of the possible reasons for this is that the surgery causes a change in the alignment of the shoulder joint, which may cause increased tension and compression on one of the biceps tendon called the conjoint tendon. The purpose of this study is to evaluate whether conjoint tendon lengthening, a surgical procedure that involves cutting and lengthening the conjoint tendon in order to reduce tension and compression, is able to prevent or reduce the risk of anterior shoulder pain at one year after surgery.
Knee Osteoarthritis
This is a single-center, prospective, randomized, single-blind, comparator therapy, parallel group study for symptomatic patients diagnosed with knee osteoarthritis. The aim is to demonstrate superior efficacy of platelet-rich plasma (PRP) as compared to hyaluronic acid (HA) in treating knee osteoarthritis. This aim will be objectively measured by endpoint consisting of changes in cartilage thickness from baseline in the MRI. The Knee Injury and Osteoarthritis Outcome Score (KOOS) Questionnaire will be used to calculate The Western Ontario and McMaster Universities Osteoarthritis Index (WOMAC) total score. It will measure changes in pain and function from baseline. Approximately 100 subjects will be treated at NorthShore University HealthSystem (NorthShore) as part of this study. This study has the potential to improve outcomes in a very common chronic degenerative disease, osteoarthritis, which can have a significant effect on individuals' quality of life.
Knee Osteoarthritis
This is a clinical trial of people who have pain due to knee osteoarthritis at Northwestern University Feinberg School of Medicine. The study will last for about 20 weeks. 180 qualified participants will be randomly assigned in a 1:1:1 ratio (60 participants per group) to one of three treatment groups: duloxetine, celecoxib, or placebo. Participants will have a knee Xray, (optional) MRIs of the brain and knee, blood draws, pain sensitivity testing, and asked to fill out questionnaires. The purpose of this study is to try to predict which participants will respond to the treatment.
Osteoarthritis, Knee · Chronic Pain
The main purpose of this study is to test the safety and efficacy of study drug for the treatment of knee pain due to osteoarthritis (OA). This trial is part of the chronic pain master protocol H0P-MC-CPMP (NCT05986292), which is a protocol to accelerate the development of new treatments for chronic pain.
Osteoarthritis · Overweight or Obesity
The YDAN master protocol will support two independent studies, J3R-MC-YOA1 and J3R-MC-YOA2. Each study will investigate how well and safely Eloralintide (LY3841136) works in adults with obesity or overweight who have osteoarthritis (OA) of the knee with pain. Participation in the study will last about 75 weeks, including screening.
Osteoarthritis, Knee · Diabetic Neuropathic Pain · Chronic Low-back Pain
The purpose of the chronic pain master protocol is to compare independent pain interventions and establish an overarching structure for the disease-state addenda (DSA) and intervention-specific appendices (ISAs). The ISAs may start independently of other ISAs as interventions become available for clinical testing.
Knee Osteoarthritis
This is a multicenter, prospective, randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled, parallel-arm, Phase 3 study of intra-articular administration of PTP-001 (MOTYS) for the treatment of knee osteoarthritis. The purpose of the trial is to evaluate the efficacy, safety, and tolerability of a single intra-articular injection of PTP-001 compared to placebo over a 52-week period in participants with radiographic and symptomatic knee OA.
Knee Osteoarthristis
The goal of this observational study (prospective registry) is to collect long-term real-world data on the effectiveness and safety of genicular artery embolization (GAE) for knee osteoarthritis in adults aged 18 years or older with symptomatic KOA that has not responded to medical therapy. The main questions it aims to answer are: 1. Does GAE lead to sustained improvement in pain (WOMAC, VAS) and quality-of-life scores over 12-36 months? 2. What patient or procedural factors are associated with better outcomes after GAE? Participants will: * Undergo GAE as part of their routine clinical care. * Complete clinical follow-up assessments at 1, 3, 6, 12, 18, 24, and 36 months after treatment, including symptom and quality-of-life questionnaires. * Have safety outcomes tracked according to Society of Interventional Radiology guidelines. There is no comparison group; results will be analyzed to identify predictors of success and inform best practices for patient selection and treatment.
Chronic Pain · Low Back Pain
The main purpose of this study is to test the safety and efficacy of study drug for the treatment of chronic low back pain (CLBP). This trial is part of the chronic pain master protocol H0P-MC-CPMP (NCT05986292), which is a protocol to accelerate the development of new treatments for chronic pain.
Osteoarthritis · Knee Osteoarthritis
Patients will be asked to take part in this research study because they have mild-to-moderate knee osteoarthritis (OA) and were referred clinically for a procedure called Genicular Artery Embolization (GAE). Osteoarthritis is the most common form of arthritis. It occurs when the protective cartilage that cushions the ends of the bones wears down over time. The symptoms of OA include pain or aching, stiffness, decreased range of motion, and swelling. The purpose of this study is to evaluate the safety and effectiveness of GAE for the treatment of knee pain attributed to OA. Research participants will be in this research study for about 3 years. The study includes a screening visit, GAE procedure, and six follow-up visits. At the screening visit, a review of their medical history, demographics, and medications will be collected; physical examination will be completed; knee x-ray will be done; and two questionnaires on your knee pain will be administered. The GAE procedure will involve receiving sedation or medication to help them relax, lidocaine injected under the skin in the area of the body where catheters will be inserted into one of your arteries and then using x-ray, a catheter will be directed to the arteries supplying the lining of the knee. Then tiny microspheres will be injected into the artery to decrease the blood supply to this knee joint tissue. The follow-up visits up to 12 months will include a focused physical examination of the treated knee, documentation of medications, and two questionnaires will be administered. The follow-up visits at year 2 and 3 will include documentation of medications and any new treatments for OA as well as completion of two questionnaires. Follow-up visits maybe conducted in clinic or remotely.
Thumb Osteoarthritis
Thumb carpometacarpal (CMC) osteoarthritis (OA) is common, seen frequently in middle-aged and elderly women. While a variety of surgical treatments have been described with none superior to any other, there is no consensus on the optimal duration of postoperative immobilization. Immobilization following surgery is critical for wound healing, pain control, and aid with activities of daily living in the early recovery period, though the duration of this must be weighed against the negative impacts of immobilization, such as stiffness, contracture, and delay in return to full function. The information gained in this study may allow hand surgeons to use an evidence-based postoperative rehabilitation protocol. Thus, our goal is to compare varying durations of postoperative immobilization after thumb CMC arthroplasty in a randomized trial design. Subjects will be randomized to treatment with non-removable thumb spica plaster postoperative splint immobilization for 2 weeks or non-removable thumb spica plaster splint transitioned to cast for a total of 6 weeks immobilization following base of thumb arthroplasty. Patient-reported outcome measures (PROs) and objective metrics will be tracked in the follow-up period.
Knee Osteoarthritis · Knee Arthropathy
Knee replacement surgery can be performed in one of two ways. Traditionally the goal was for the new joint to be in a neutral position with respect to the femur (thigh bone). This is called Mechanical Alignment (MA). The neutral position is different than the human knee's natural position, so MA often requires the surgeon to make additional cuts to the ligaments and other soft tissue around the knee. More recently surgeons have started to place the new joint in a position that more closely replicates the natural alignment of the human knee. This is called Kinemetic Alignment (KA). KA can be done without additional soft tissue dissection but the procedure requires a higher level of precision that can be difficult to achieve in every case. Some studies have found no difference in outcomes between MA and KA, whereas others have found KA to be superior. But these were small studies or studies that did not consider patient-rated outcomes.
CRPS (Complex Regional Pain Syndromes) · Radiculopathy · Peripheral Neuropathy
This study seeks to evaluate the use of intermittent dosing as an alternative paradigm for patients with DRG stimulation in place for at least 1 year and minimum 50% pain relief in the targeted area. Patients will be prospectively randomized to one of two stimulation paradigms both of which involve intermittent dosing at 30 seconds ON and 90 seconds OFF. Group 1 will have their frequency set at 20 Hz with amplitude levels adjusted in order to remain in the therapeutic window (subthreshold stimulation). Group 2 will have their frequency set at 5 Hz with amplitude levels adjusted in order to remain in the therapeutic window (subthreshold stimulation) This study will be performed in a crossover fashion, meaning patients will be changed to the alternate dosing regimen at the 13-week time period. Patients will be seen and evaluated prior to randomization and reprogramming, and thereafter evaluated at 4, 8, and 12-weeks. At the 12-week time period, patients will begin a 1-week washout period of continuous stimulation. At the 13-week time period, patients will be evaluated, crossed over to the other study arm and thereafter evaluated at 17, 21, and 25-weeks.
Obesity · Overweight · Osteoarthritis, Knee
This study is being done to look at the safety and effect of NNC0487-0111 in people with excess body weight and knee osteoarthritis when compared to placebo. There are 2 study treatments in this study taken as injections under the skin once a week. Participants will either get NNC0487-0111, (the treatment being tested) or Placebo (a treatment that has no active medicine in it). Which treatment participants get is decided by chance.
Knee Cartilage Defects
To establish the efficacy and safety of CARTISTEM®, a combination product composed of allogeneic human umbilical cord blood-derived mesenchymal stem cells (hUCB-MSCs) formulated with a cross-linked sodium hyaluronate (HA) hydrogel, CARTISTEM® compared to the surgical comparator of debridement in Subjects with knee cartilage lesions and osteoarthritis. This trial is intended to provide evidence of the superiority of CARTISTEM® to reduce knee pain and improve knee function compared to debridement for Subjects with knee cartilage lesions and osteoarthritis at 2-years post-treatment. Additionally, this trial is intended to intended to explore whether CARTISTEM® may have disease-modifying effects on osteoarthritis progression through the use of semi-quantitative MRI assessment.
