Hemophilic arthropathy

This study tested whether analyzing a patient's DNA and RNA could help doctors pick the right drug for inflammatory diseases that don't fit standard categories. 32 adults with at least two affected organs (including skin) received one of six targeted therapies based on their mole…

This study looked at the long-term safety and effectiveness of the Birmingham Hip Resurfacing System, a metal hip implant, in 329 adults with arthritis. The main goal was to see how many patients needed a revision (replacement or removal) within 10 years. The study also measured …

This study looked at how well a specific knee replacement (balanSys UNI) works over time. 116 people with knee arthritis got the implant and were followed for at least 2 years. Doctors measured knee function using the Knee Society Score and checked X-rays for any problems.

This study looked at how well a new, quick finger-prick test (LumiraDx CRP) measures CRP levels compared to a standard lab test. CRP is a marker of infection, inflammation, or tissue injury. 79 adults with symptoms of these conditions took part. The goal was to see if the new tes…

This study tested a Turkish version of the Johns Hopkins In-Room Independence Scale, which measures a patient's ability to move, use the toilet, and think clearly while in their hospital room. Researchers worked with 100 adults who had conditions like stroke, Parkinson's, or ampu…

This early study tested a new radioactive tracer called 18F-FDS in 16 people with suspected bacterial or fungal infections. The tracer is designed to light up infection sites on PET/CT scans, helping doctors see exactly where an infection is. The goal was to check how the tracer …

This pilot study looked at whether passive static stretching can increase hip flexibility in three groups: people who had hip replacement, those with long-term hip pain, and healthy volunteers. Twelve participants followed a 4-week stretching program three times a week under supe…

This study tested a physical therapy technique that uses a cuff to slightly restrict blood flow during exercise. The goal was to see if it could safely improve muscle strength and reduce pain in people with hemophilia who have ankle joint damage. 31 adults with hemophilia A or B …

This study tested a personalized program of exercise and manual therapy (like stretching and massage) in 10 adults with severe hemophilia who had multiple damaged joints. The goal was to see if it could reduce pain, improve joint movement and strength, boost heart-lung fitness, a…

This study looked at how common muscle and posture problems are in physiotherapy students and whether a special physiotherapy program could help. 44 students with back pain and muscle tightness received treatments like trigger point release, stretching, and joint mobilization. Th…

This study looked at whether letting patients control their own sedation during arm surgery under regional anesthesia leads to higher satisfaction compared to having an anesthesiologist control it. 70 adults having upper limb orthopedic surgery were randomly assigned to either pa…

This study compared robotic-assisted total knee replacement to the conventional technique in 95 patients with knee arthritis. The goal was to see if robotic surgery leads to better knee function, less pain, and higher satisfaction two years after the operation. Researchers also c…

This completed study looked at how the social networks of caregivers affect their stress and health when caring for someone with an inherited disease. Researchers surveyed over 680 participants, including family members and formal caregivers, to understand caregiving burden and s…

This study translated the Generic Functional Index, a questionnaire that measures how well people can do daily activities, into Turkish. Researchers tested it with 200 adults who have muscle or joint problems to see if it is accurate and reliable. The goal is to give Turkish-spea…

This study looked at DNA methylation patterns in stored samples from 90 patients with rare skeletal disorders, sarcomas, or inflammatory arthritis. The goal was to better understand these patterns and explore their potential for diagnosis and treatment. The research aimed to impr…

This study tested whether specially trained physiotherapists can safely diagnose and treat non-urgent muscle and joint pain in the emergency room, compared to standard care from doctors. 102 patients with back, neck, or shoulder pain were randomly assigned to either a physiothera…

This study looked at why people with hemophilia and damaged knee or ankle joints feel ongoing pain. Researchers measured pain sensitivity, fear of movement, and anxiety in 146 adults. The goal was to better understand central sensitization—a condition where the nervous system sta…

This completed study compared how well people with complex regional pain syndrome (CRPS), people with other muscle or bone pain, and healthy individuals can imagine movements. Researchers used a questionnaire called the MIQ-RS to measure motor imagery skills. The goal was to see …

This completed pilot study tested whether training doctors to ask personalized questions (individuation) could improve care for Black and lower-income patients with rheumatic diseases like lupus and arthritis. Over 200 patients and their rheumatologists took part. The goal was to…

This study surveyed 116 adults with chronic pain at a rehabilitation clinic to understand how their pain beliefs, spiritual well-being, and attitudes toward complementary and alternative medicine are related. Participants filled out several questionnaires about their pain, mood, …

This study looked at two different designs of knee replacement implants in 60 people with arthritis. The goal was to see how much each implant moved inside the bone over two years using a special X-ray technique called RSA. The findings could help surgeons pick the better implant…
