Osteoarthritis Paid Clinical Trials in New Jersey

Subchondral bone marrow lesions (BMLs) in knee osteoarthritis (OA) are strongly associated with presence and severity of knee pain, structural deterioration, disease progression with an increased risk of total knee arthroplasty. OA-related BMLs may regress or resolve within 30 months which could be associated with long lasting disability. It has been reported that BMLs persist in the majority of knee OA patients. Different treatment strategies have been proposed including rest and protected weight-bearing, bisphosphonates, subchondroplasty and intraosseous orthobiologic injection. However, conservative treatment response takes a long time and other interventions may be considered invasive procedures that show varying results with several side effects. Focused extracorporeal shockwave therapy (f-ESWT) has been established as a safe non-invasive treatment with positive results in different bone disorders that share the same pathological features of BMLs. This is an exploratory, randomized-controlled, pilot study to determine the efficacy and safety of f-ESWT compared to the standard-of-care (analgesics and protected weight bearing) for the treatment of BMLs in patients with knee OA. Thirty subjects with knee OA who have history of knee pain at rest and during walking with the confirmed diagnosis of subchondral BML(s) on magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) despite at least 4 weeks of conservative treatment will be enrolled into this study. Subjects will receive a total of 4 sessions (at high energy level) over 4 consecutive weeks. Participants will be evaluated for adverse events and changes in pain intensity and knee function, using an 11-point numerical rating scale (NRS; 0-10, with anchors "no pain" and "pain as bad as you can imagine") and; the Knee injury and Osteoarthritis Outcome Score, respectively. Subjects will be assessed with these outcome measures at baseline, 1 month, 2 months, 3 months, and 6 months after the treatment. MRI of the involved knee will be performed prior to treatment (baseline) and 3 months and 6 months after treatment. Read Less

The purpose of this study is to determine if the use of the HIT Reverse Hip Replacement System is safe and effective in patients undergoing total hip replacement. We will determine whether it is safe and effective by comparing it to the control devices. 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.

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 \[NSAIDs\]).

The study will evaluate the performance, clinical benefits and safety of the Persona Revision Knee System in patients who have received primary or revision total knee arthroplasty (TKA) treatment. This will be done using a multicenter, single-arm, consecutive series, retrospective cohort study with prospective follow-up. Read Less
