HIP OSTEOARTHRITIS

This study is checking how safe and effective a new hip implant, the Z1 Femoral Hip System, is for people needing hip replacement surgery. Researchers will follow 150 adults for 2 years to see how often the implant needs to be removed or causes problems. They will also ask patien…

This study follows 49 adults who are already scheduled for a total hip replacement using the DELTA Revision cup. Researchers will track safety, hip function, range of motion, and how long the implant lasts over two years. The goal is to see if this cup helps control arthritis sym…

This study looks at how well a specific hip implant (the Restoration Anatomic Acetabular Shell) works for people who need a second hip replacement because their first one failed. About 56 adults will be followed for several years to see if the implant stays in place without loose…

This study tests two kinds of platelet-rich plasma (PRP) injections for hip osteoarthritis. 230 adults with mild to moderate hip arthritis will receive either PRP with or without white blood cells. The goal is to see which type better reduces pain and improves function over 12 mo…

This study compares three versions of a nerve block (PENG block) for people aged 65 and older having hip surgery. All participants receive the same base painkiller, but some get extra medications (dexamethasone and/or dexmedetomidine) either through an IV or near the nerves. The …

This study compares three versions of a pain-blocking injection (PENG block) in 120 adults aged 65 and older having hip surgery. One group gets the standard block, while two others get an added medication (dexamethasone or dexmedetomidine) to see if pain relief lasts longer. The …

This study tests whether a pre-surgery exercise program (prehabilitation) helps people waiting for hip or knee replacement. Researchers want to see if it improves recovery time, physical function, and mental well-being. The study will include 44 adults with advanced osteoarthriti…

This study looks at whether adding progressive resistance training to a patient education program helps people with hip osteoarthritis feel better and move easier. 150 adults with hip OA will be randomly assigned to either education plus exercise or education alone. Researchers w…

This study looks at whether adding a small dose of dexmedetomidine to a standard nerve block (PENG block) can provide longer-lasting pain relief after hip surgery in adults aged 65 and older. Participants will be randomly assigned to receive either the standard block or the block…

This study tests two types of nerve blocks to see which one better controls pain after hip replacement surgery. 90 adults aged 65 and older will be randomly assigned to receive one of the two blocks. The goal is to reduce the need for strong painkillers and help patients recover …

This study compares three different nerve block techniques to see which provides the best pain relief after hip replacement surgery while allowing patients to move their legs sooner. About 93 adults aged 65 and older having elective hip replacement will be randomly assigned to on…

This study compares two injection methods for treating chronic musculoskeletal pain, including hip arthritis and headaches. About 1,036 adults aged 45 and older will receive either a trigger point injection or a joint injection. Researchers will track pain scores and function ove…

This study follows 432 golfers who have hip, knee, or shoulder replacement surgery to see when and how they return to golf. Participants are active golfers who want to play again after surgery. Researchers will check in at 6 weeks, 3 months, 6 months, and 1 year after surgery to …

This observational study looks at tissue and blood samples from 1,000 adults having hip or knee replacement surgery due to osteoarthritis. Researchers want to measure levels of rare metals, trace elements, and immune markers in the joint tissue. The goal is to find imbalances tha…

This study compares two types of anesthesia (general vs. spinal) for people having hip or knee replacement surgery. Researchers will track recovery time, pain, nausea, infections, and other complications in about 2,400 participants. The goal is to find out which method leads to b…

This study tracks 30 people getting a new Emphasys hip replacement to see how much the implant moves inside the bone over two years. Using special X-ray techniques, researchers compare these results to older hip implants. The goal is to check if the new design is stable and durab…

This study looks at how well a particular type of knee replacement (a fixed polyethylene posteriorly stabilized cemented total knee prosthesis) performs over at least one year. Researchers will review medical records and X-rays from about 960 adults who had this surgery between 2…

This study is testing a smartphone app that tracks movement and symptoms in people with knee or hip arthritis or joint replacement. The goal is to create a score that predicts who will be satisfied after surgery. About 1,250 adults in Germany will participate, using the app to sh…

This study compares two antiseptic washes used during hip replacement surgery to see which one leads to better wound healing. Researchers will enroll 420 adults with hip osteoarthritis or avascular necrosis who need a hip replacement. Participants will be randomly assigned to rec…
