Osteoarthritis Paid Clinical Trials in Maryland

The goal of this clinical trial is to examine the effect of a single autologous, intra-articular injection of MFat versus saline injection for the treatment of pain and function associated with K/L grade 2/3 knee Osteoarthritis. Participants will receive an injection of MFat or saline. Read Less

A randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled, multi-center, phase 3 study to determine the safety and efficacy of TG-C in subjects with Kellgren and Lawrence Grade 2 or 3 Osteoarthritis of the Knee, Osteoarthritis Research Society International (OARSI) medial joint space narrowing (JSN) Grade 1 or 2 of the knee joint. TG-C is to be administered by a single intra-articular injection to the damaged joint area via ultrasound guidance. Patients will be followed for 24 months for safety and efficacy. Read Less

This study evaluates the addition of duloxetine to aerobic exercise in the treatment of symptomatic knee osteoarthritis and depressive symptoms in adults. All participants will receive the receive the treatment protocol, which will first be evaluated in terms of feasibility and then pilot tested. Read Less

This multicenter, prospective, interventional trial is designed to assess the outcome of subjects with symptomatic knee osteoarthritis (OA) that are randomized to treatment with either genicular artery embolization (GAE) using Embosphere Microspheres or steroid injection over a period of 24 months.

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.

The H3 TAR Prosthesis was approved by FDA (P160036) on June 4, 2019. Continued approval of the premarket approval application (PMA) is contingent upon the submission of periodic reports (Annual Report), required under 21 CFR 814.84. In order to provide continued reasonable assurance of the safety and effectiveness of the PMA device, data from this post-approval study must be submitted to FDA in a PMA Post-Approval Study Report per the requirements set forth in the approval.

The registry will capture prospective data on patients receiving pain management for chronic pain due to knee osteoarthritis (OA) or pain optimization for knee arthroplasty due to knee OA. The OA pain therapies may include cryo nerve block, radiofrequency ablation (RFA), intra-articular (IA) corticosteroids, viscosupplementation, opioids, and others (e.g., non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs [NSAIDs]).

This study is being conducted to evaluate the efficacy and safety of ASA compared to placebo in the management of osteoarthritis (OA) symptoms of the knee. Read Less

Shoulder arthroplasty provides successful improvement in pain and function for the treatment of end stage osteoarthritis (OA) of the shoulder in the older patient population (Sanchez 2008, Sampson 2010, Kon 2012, Fitzpatrick 2017). However, the optimal non-operative treatment for shoulder OA in the young active duty and civilian populations has yet to be determined. Although corticosteroid injections (CSI) are a viable option with diagnostic and short-term therapeutic benefit in glenohumeral OA, steroid does little to address the underlying pathology and confers risk of adjacent tendon failure (Kon 2009, Gosens 2011, Monto 2014, Tietze 2014). Platelet-rich plasma (PRP) derived from autologous blood, however, has the potential to enhance soft tissue healing as previously observed in muscles and tendons (Sanchez 2005, Randelli 2008, Hall 2009). PRP contains growth factors purported to safely facilitate local tissue regeneration as corroborated in multiple clinical studies investigating tendinopathy (Virchenko 2006, Kesikburun 2013, Fitzpatrick 2017, Schwitzguebel 2019). PRP is a promising concept to bridge the gap between conventional non-operative measures and surgical arthroscopy or arthroplasty options in a high functioning patient population with refractory disease. However, clinical literature elucidating the effects of intra-articular leukocyte-poor PRP (LP-PRP) injections in large joint degenerative OA has been slower to emerge, lacking substantiated data due to small sample sizes and treatment variability. Therefore, high level evidence-based studies remain critical in ascertaining the therapeutic value and clinical efficacy of LP-PRP in glenohumeral OA in order to establish standard of care protocols and guide systematic implementation.

In order to continue progressing towards outpatient total hip arthroplasty (THA), methods to adequately manage postoperative pain is of paramount importance. The purpose of this study is to quantify the effectiveness of the pericapsular nerve block in total hip arthroplasty in comparison to the fascia iliaca nerve block. Read Less

Patients with degenerative joint disease can effectively be treated with a primary total knee replacement to reduce pain and improve function in their daily lives. Theoretically, achievement of normal knee motion using a medial pivot design in total knee replacements can be recreated in comparison to single radius designs, which could lead to an improvement in post-surgical outcomes and satisfaction with the procedure. The aim of this study is to compare two types of implant designs (medial pivot and single radius) in a total knee replacement using clinical outcomes, patient reported outcomes, and overall function assessed by a specialized gait laboratory.

Post-acute sequelae of SARS-CoV-2 infection can cause multiple system function disorders, and complicated symptoms last for an extended period. The virus can cause this continued infection, or the virus causes immune system function disorder and post-infectious autoimmune disease. The clinical symptoms can be smell loss, taste loss to liver function disorder, kidney function failure, different. No matter how complicated the systems showed in the clinic, all of the symptoms are due to the specific cells being damaged. Our clinical study is focused on recovering the damaged structure and function of the cells that could restore the organ function back to normal or close to normal Read Less
