The city of Gainesville, Florida, currently has 6 active clinical trials seeking participants for Osteoarthritis research studies.
Pain Relief for OsteoArthritis Through Combined Treatment (PROACT)
Recruiting
This mechanistic clinical trial proposes to test whether a five-day course of mindfulness meditation training (MMT) and tDCS, and their combination, can enhance pain modulatory balance and pain-related brain function, reduce clinical pain, among African Americans and non-Hispanic whites with knee osteoarthritis (OA). This approach will provide evidence that targeting stress and pain-related brain function will reduce OA-related pain and ethnic group differences therein.

Understanding Cognition, Oxytocin & Pain in Elders
Recruiting
Osteoarthritis (OA) represents a significant cause of disability worldwide and the knee is the most commonly affected joint. Oxytocin (OT) is a mediator of endogenous analgesia in animal and human studies. This proposal will test the efficacy and safety of self-administered intranasal OT over 4-weeks in older individuals relative to placebo (P) evaluating its effects on pain and function in aging and testing potential underlying neurobiological mechanisms.

A Sequenced Strategy for Improving Outcomes in People With Knee Osteoarthritis Pain
Recruiting
There is an urgent public health need to reduce reliance on opioids for effective long-term pain management, particularly in knee osteoarthritis (KOA). This effectiveness trial will compare commonly recommended treatments to reduce pain and functional limitations in KOA.These results will lead to improved patient selection for treatment and inform evidence based guidelines by offering well-tested, effective, non-surgical alternatives.

Exactech Shoulder Post Market Clinical Follow-up Study
Recruiting
The objective of this study is to collect and evaluate long-term clinical and radiographic outcomes data in order to better understand the safety and performance of the shoulder arthroplasty over time. This study will follow subjects long-term for a minimum of 10-years, without an early-term restriction on the amount of time they will be followed.

Thumb Osteoarthritis Mechanisms
Recruiting
This study examines carpometacarpal osteoarthritis (CMC OA) and aims to elucidate the biomechanical, neuromuscular, and somatosensory mechanisms that contribute to CMC OA symptoms by using orthopaedic biomechanics and quantitative pain testing. Completion of this study will provide a comprehensive dataset describing how movement strategies (muscle activity and joint posture) as well as experimental and clinical pain differ between individuals with CMC OA and age-matched controls.
