Osteoarthritis Paid Clinical Trials in Virginia

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

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. Read Less

The purpose of this study is to evaluate performance of the Vanguard 360 revision knee system utilizing offset on either the tibial component, femoral component, or both in terms of the restoration of mechanical alignment, clinical outcomes and survivorship. Read Less

The purpose of this proposed study is to investigate both the acute and chronic response of frontal plane knee moment after gait retraining and to assess the effects on the biomechanics of the contralateral side. Fifty-one patients diagnosed with tibiofemoral joint osteoarthritis (TFJ OA) will be recruited to participate in the proposed study. Participants will complete baseline trials to assess gait kinematic and kinetic parameters. Following baseline, each participant will perform six conditions of the foot progression gait or three conditions of the trunk lean gait modifications to determine which strategy is most effective in reducing frontal plane knee moment. Participants will then be randomized to either the control or experimental group based on their identified preferred strategy. Participants will complete eight gait retraining sessions using patient-specific gait modifications (tailored foot progression and tailored lateral trunk lean), or normal gait (control) during the training period. A fading feedback design will be implemented. Real-time haptic biofeedback will be provided on every step during the first two weeks and reduced by 25% every subsequent two weeks. No feedback will be provided during baseline and at testing sessions. Measures of pain and function will also be collected at all testing sessions. Variables of interest include ankle, knee, hip sagittal and frontal plane moments. In addition, sagittal and frontal plane impulse will also be assessed. Descriptive statistics will be calculated for foot progression angle, trunk lean angle, frontal and sagittal plane hip, knee, and ankle angles as well as moments. Descriptive statistics for frontal plane knee impulse will also be calculated. A multivariate analysis of variance (MANOVA) will be conducted to compare frontal plane knee moment, frontal plane knee impulse and the absolute sagittal plane moment will be compared across three groups at four different time points. Repeated measures analysis of variance (ANOVA) will be conducted to compare both sagittal and frontal plane joint biomechanics for the contralateral limb. The p-value will be set at .05. Read Less

This study will investigate a video assisted, home therapy program where participants complete hand therapy on their own following thumb arthroplasty. In this program, participants will receive prerecorded informational videos. Half of the participants in this study will do standard of care, in-person therapy. The other half will be enrolled in the home therapy program. Participants will fill out an assessment of their physical ability before surgery and again three months after surgery. These assessments will be compared between groups. The study team hypothesizes that the video-assisted, home therapy program will be noninferior to traditional in-person therapy. Read Less
