NCT07073911
This will be a clinical trial of a standardized group exercise intervention, Les Mills Thrive, and determine if it alters muscle activation patterns and improves strength, balance, and symptoms in those with knee osteoarthritis (OA). Muscle activation patterns will be assessed using surface electromyography, strength will be assessed using isokinetic dynamometry, balance will be measured using the Community Balance and Mobility Scale (CB\&M), and symptoms and typical activity will be measured using two questionnaires: the Western Ontario and McMaster Universities Osteoarthritis Index (WOMAC), and the Physical Activity Scale for the Elderly (PASE). These outcome measures will be measured at baseline and after a 12-week group exercise intervention (Les Mills Thrive) for 42 older adults with knee OA. Results of this study will be disseminated via a report to Les Mills International, in community presentations, at relevant academic (e.g. Osteoarthritis Research Society International (OARSI) annual conference) and industry (e.g. Medical Fitness Association annual meeting) conferences, in an academic journal publication (e.g. Arthritis Care \& Research), and through press releases or other media publications.
NCT05487053
Total knee replacement (TKR) is considered the most effective and safe method of radical treatment of late stages of knee osteoarthritis. A well-known problem of TKR is a severe postoperative pain syndrome, which is observed in more than 50% of patients. Femoral nerve block (FNB) is the "gold standard" for continuous postoperative analgesia after total knee replacement, as it is effective in reducing the frequency of use of opioid analgetics and reduce the duration of hospitalization. At the same time, the negative effect of this method is the motor blockade of the quadriceps femoris muscle which leads to functional impairment and is associated with an increased risk of falling. Adductor canal block (ACB) provides adequate analgesia comparable to femoral nerve block. Moreover, ACB doesn't affect the motor function of the quadriceps femoris muscle. The possibility of enhanced recovery after total knee replacement is the reason to compare single-shot adductor canal block and continuous femoral nerve block.
NCT06118892
Prospective evaluation of the safety and effectiveness of the MISHA Knee System. The study will collect data on the procedural and long-term adverse events, WOMAC pain and function scores, KSS satisfaction, subsequent surgical interventions, BMI levels, range of motion, UCLA activity level of the subjects, and perform radiographic/x-ray evaluations at clinical visits through 5 years post-procedure. The primary analysis of this study is freedom from device- and procedure-related SSIs at five (5) years post-implantation. This study will also assess device performance in subjects with intact and retained devices and subjects with devices removed prior to study termination and freedom from conversion to arthroplasty through 5 years. Study subjects will be followed over a five-year post-implant period.

NCT07383740
The aim is to evaluate the test-retest reliability of the primary care-adapted Ekblom-Bak submaximal ergometer bicycle test in patients with hip- and/or knee osteoarthritis (OA). Forty patients with hip- and/or knee OA eligible for the Swedish national OA treatment program in primary care are to be recruited. After screening for contraindications, participants will perform the aEB-test twice within 1-2 weeks. The investigators hypothezise that the test will demonstrate acceptable test-retest reliability in patients with hip- and/or knee OA. To establish reliability is essential for future studies using this test in this population and may support its integration into routine clinical assessment.
NCT06685120
"PRP+HA-23" is a double-blind randomized controlled clinical trial with 1:1:1 allocation. The objective of the study is to evaluate by a randomized controlled, double-blind clinical trial the efficacy and safety of viscosupplementation-associated PRP infiltration compared with PRP-only or HA-only infiltration for the treatment of patients with knee osteoarthritis.
NCT03940950

NCT05931367
The main purpose of this study is to evaluate the safety and efficacy of retatrutide once-weekly in participants who have obesity or are overweight and have osteoarthritis (OA) of the knee. The study will lasts about 77 weeks.
NCT05642260
the aim of the proposed research is to investigate the short and long-term effects of integrating a comprehensive fall prevention programme into conventional physiotherapy on the number of falls, balance, and functional ability among elderly following TKR. the investigator hypothesize that conventional physiotherapy integrated with a fall prevention program is more effective than conventional physiotherapy alone in improving balance and functional ability and preventing the occurrence of falls among elderly following TKR. Study type: The proposed study is a parallel group prospective (24 weeks) randomised single-blinded pragmatic controlled trial. Participants: Older adults operated for TKR at Al-Razi orthopedic hospital, who met the inclusion criteria.

NCT05827003
Osteoarthritis, a chronic and degenerative joint disease, is the most common type of arthritis and affects more than 300 million adults worldwide. Osteoarthritis, which is characterized by joint pain and stiffness, has negative consequences for function, participation and quality of life, which are important components of health. The knee joint is the most common joint in terms of osteoarthritis and is more common in individuals over 50 years of age. There is no proven definitive treatment in today's literature for common osteoarthritis, which is one of the important causes of the global disease burden. However, since it is a progressive disease with varying degrees of severity, it is a chronic problem that requires long-term treatment. According to current clinical guidelines prepared by the working groups of the International Osteoarthritis Research Society (OARSI) and the European Society for Clinical and Economic Aspects of Osteoporosis, Osteoarthritis and Musculoskeletal Diseases ESCEO , treatment typically includes physiotherapy interventions with the use of non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs) and analgesics, including intra-articular injections of corticosteroids; In more severe cases, joint replacement surgery is recommended. The aim of this research project is to examine the effectiveness of a supervised exercise program applied in combination with NSAID-specific topical agents, in comparison with groups receiving only topical agents or only exercise treatments.

NCT04331158
Introduction: Knee osteoarthritis (KOA) is the biggest cause of pain and disability worldwide. As a non-pharmacological approach, ventosatherapia has been used to control pain, improve function and quality of life. However, there is a lack of high-quality scientific evidence regarding its effects on this condition. Objective: To evaluate the effects of dry cupping on pain, function and quality of life in women with KOA. Methods: This is a randomized, blinded placebo-controlled protocol. 62 women diagnosed with KOA will be recruited, based on the clinical criteria of the American College of Rheumatology, who will be randomly divided into two groups (31 per group): dry cupping and dry cupping sham.

To describe changes in knee extensor muscle strength up to one year after surgery. To study the relationship between changes in knee extensor muscle strength and changes in physical function, self-reported function and physical activity level and the relationship between changes in knee extensor muscle strength and satisfaction. Methods: A prospective observational study and comparison with controls. 50-55 individuals aged 65 or older, scheduled for total knee arthroplasty will be recruited to the study group. Measurement of study group 0-2 weeks before surgery and 3, 6 and 12 months following surgery. Comparison with 50-55 healthy age-matched controls.
