Arthritis Paid Clinical Trials in Texas

This study learn how easily patients can use an educational tool that will be created for patients with melanoma and pre-existing autoimmune diseases who receive or will receive immune checkpoint inhibitor drugs. Patients will be asked their opinions about the design, accessibility, and content of the tool. Researchers will use the information collected to improve the educational materials that will help patients make future decisions about their treatment. Read Less

The purpose of this study is to evaluate the clinical functional results of the Triathlon All-Polyethylene Tibia Knee Device. Read Less

To understand the severity and nature of participants experiences during irAEs following immune checkpoint inhibitor immunotherapy. Read Less

The main objective of this study is to evaluate the safety, performance, and clinical benefits of the Persona Keel cementless and cemented knee. Read Less

This study is designed to investigate whether non-invasive ultrasound (US) that is optimized for stimulation and can elicit an anti-inflammatory response in people with Inflammatory Arthritis as compared to a sham intervention. The primary endpoint is the change in pro-inflammatory cytokines in blood drawn before and after US. Each participant receives 4 experimental US sessions, one of which is randomly assigned to be placebo. Read Less

The objective of this consecutive series PMCF study is to collect data confirming safety, performance, and clinical benefits of the Taperloc Complete stems when used for primary or revision total hip arthroplasty (implants) at 1,3,5,7 and 10-year follow-up\*. Since Taperloc Complete was introduced to the EU in 2010, all available retrospective data will be collected from each patient and a prospective aspect to the study will be necessary to reach the 10-year time point.

The main objective of the study is to evaluate the safety, performance and clinical benefits of the Persona implant and its instrumentation in primary total knee arthroplasty Read Less

The purpose of this study is to compare two different antibiotic regimens and techniques during total ankle arthroplasty (TAA). Primary Objective: Comparable levels of vancomycin will be found in bone, soft tissue, and systemic samples between patient groups. Secondary Objective: Compare 30 day and 90 day post-operative complication rates (infection) between the control (standard IV administration of vancomycin) vs the interventional group (intraosseous administration of vancomycin). The investigators hypothesize that there will be no difference in complication (infection) rates between groups. Read Less

The objective of the study is to explore the effects of arm exercise (UE, arm ergometer) vs. leg exercise (LE, cycling ergometer) on exercise-induced hypoalgesia (EIH), central pain mechanisms and knee pain in people with knee osteoarthritis (OA). Furthermore, we will explore relations of socioeconomic status, racial discrimination, acculturative stress, and autonomic function to exercise effects on EIH, central pain mechanisms, and knee pain. This will be a pilot randomized cross-over study where all participants undergo Day 1 (baseline assessments), Day 2 (UE or LE), and Day 3 (UE or LE). Read Less

The goal of the study is to learn if Epidiolex (cannabidiol) works as a additional pain medication in patients who have had orthopedic shoulder surgery. It is also to learn about safe dosages and identify any side effects after surgery. Researchers will compare Epidiolex to a placebo solution to see if Epidiolex lowers pain after shoulder surgery. Participants will: * track their pain and what medications they use every day in a provided pain diary. A researchers will call every seven days to check on the participant and diary. * Complete two short surveys. Once before surgery and once after. * Have bloodwork tested after surgery Read Less

The trial is an open-label randomized study that will examine whether switching to a selective IL23 inhibitor (guselkumab) is more effective than switching to a second TNFi (golimumab) among patients with PsA who have an inadequate response to a TNFi. Read Less

This is a Pilot Study which is randomized, prospective, open label, dose escalation, non-controlled evaluating safety and feasibility of intra-articular Wharton's Jelly (WJ) allograft will be evaluated in patients suffering with knee osteoarthritis. The participants will be randomized to one of three dosing treatment arms that will consist of one intra-articular knee injection containing either low dose, medium dose or high dose WJ allograft tissue.
