Total knee replacement (TKR) is a common and costly procedure widely used to relieve pain and improve function in patients with symptomatic advanced knee osteoarthritis (OA). As of 2013, the annual incidence of TKR was over 680,000 surgeries and annual costs exceeded $11 billion. Growing evidence suggests that while pain and functional status improve following TKR, physical activity (PA) typically does not surpass pre-TKR levels. Engagement in PA can meaningfully improve quality of life (QoL), pain, and function. Given the large investment in TKR, the effectiveness and cost-effectiveness of TKR could be substantially increased if TKR recipients became more physically active.
The Knee Arthroplasty Activity Trial (KArAT) is a randomized controlled trial and participants will be randomly assigned to one of three arms. Participants across all arms will receive usual post-operative care for TKR surgery. Participants in the first arm will complete basic study activities, such as responding to surveys and attending two in-person clinic visits. Participants in the second arm will do the same and also receive a wrist-based physical activity tracker intervention. Participants in the third arm will receive a telephonic active coaching (motivational interviewing) and financial incentives (for reaching physical activity goals) (TAC(MI)+FI) based intervention, as well as a wrist-based physical activity tracker intervention. The second and third arms will be eligible to receive lottery-based financial rewards for wearing a wrist-worn activity tracker for twenty-four months during the study.

Articulating Spacers for Knee Infections
Chicago, Illinois
In the US, if an infection in an artificial knee joint doesn't heal with antibiotics alone, the standard treatment is a two-stage revision of the artificial knee. In the first stage, the surgeon will remove the artificial knee and clean out the area around the knee. They will then place an antibiotic spacer. An antibiotic spacer is a type of artificial joint that will release antibiotics into the knee space continuously over time. The spacer allows only very basic function of the knee. The patient may need to use crutches or a walker while the antibiotic spacer is in place. After surgery to place the antibiotic spacer, the surgeon may prescribe a course of antibiotics as well. Because the antibiotic spacer is not as durable as a regular artificial joint, after the infection is gone, another surgery is required to take the spacer out and put a new artificial knee joint in.
There is another way for artificial joint infections to be treated. This is a one-stage revision. In this treatment, the surgeon will remove the artificial knee and clean out the area around the knee. Then the surgeon will place a new artificial knee in using a special kind of cement that contains antibiotics. The cement will release antibiotics into the knee space continuously over time (the surgeon may prescribe a course of antibiotics as well). The new artificial joint with antibiotic cement will function almost the same as the original artificial knee. This means that while the infection is healing the patient will be able to do most of the regular daily activities. However, the antibiotic cement is not as durable as what is normally used to implant an artificial knee. The artificial knee with the antibiotic cement may need to be replaced with a regular artificial knee. When replacement will need to be done is dependent on patient weight, bone strength and activity level, among other things. When it is time to replace the antibiotic cement artificial knee, the patient will have another surgery where the surgeon will take the antibiotic cement artificial knee and put a new artificial knee joint in.
Investigators know that both the one- and two-stage revision work equally well to heal the infection, but investigators don't know which patients prefer or which provides better function after many years. This study will randomly assign patients to receive either a one-stage or two-stage revision and then follow them for 5 years to ask them about pain, function, and satisfaction.

Treadmill Training for Fall Prevention After Knee Replacement
Chicago, Illinois
The goal of this clinical trial is to learn about preventing falls in people who have total knee replacement surgery using treadmill perturbation training. Perturbation training involves adjusting to rapid speed changes on a treadmill. The main questions it aims to answer are:
* Does perturbation training improve the way that people who are planning to have total knee replacement surgery recover after treadmill test that reproduces a trip to the front or side?
* Does perturbation training reduce the incidence of preventable gait-related falls during the first year after total knee replacement?
Participants will:
* complete surveys about their condition and fall history and take part in testing of walking ability and balance.
* have a baseline gait analysis test to measure the motion of their body during normal walking.
* Be randomized into two groups. One will receive fall-prevention literature. The other will receive the same literature and then take part in a two-week treadmill perturbation training program.
* be contacted every two weeks for one year, and asked questions about whether they have fallen during that time.
* wear a Fitbit activity monitor on their wrist for one year. Researchers will compare the number of falls from the group that only received literature to the treatment group to see if the training group has fewer falls during the year after surgery.

Mindfulness Meditation for Knee Surgery
New York, New York
The goal of this pilot study is to develop a randomized control trial study with sufficient power to definitely address if a preop mindfulness meditation intervention can improve post-total knee arthroplasty mental well-being or physical health compared to controls, and if a preop mindfulness meditation intervention can train resilience. The main questions it aims to answer are:
1. Is this preoperative mindfulness meditation study feasible at Hospital for Special Surgery?
2. Can we estimate a control and intervention group central tendency and variability to be used to determine sample size in future study?
3. Does a preoperative mindfulness meditation interventions improve post-total knee arthroplasty mental well-being or physical health compared to controls? Can preoperative a mindfulness meditation intervention train resilience (as measured by increased resilience score)?
Participants will be randomly assigned to be in the intervention group or the waitlist control group. The intervention group gets the mindfulness mediation intervention prior to their day of surgery, and the control group will be given the mindfulness meditation intervention 90 days after their day of surgery.
The waitlist control group allows for comparison between those who got the mindfulness meditation intervention prior to surgery and those who did not while still offering the potential benefits of the intervention after 90 days.

Robotic-Assisted Knee Replacement for Osteoarthritis
New York, New York
Total knee replacement surgery is a conventional approach to alleviating the pain and lack of function resulting from arthritis of the knee. While conventional knee replacement surgery is highly successful, incidences of improperly installed replacement parts are not uncommon. To improve outcomes, robotic-assisted total knee replacement surgery has recently become available, and has been shown to be extremely effective for partial knee replacement surgery. However, further research is needed to determine if this same technology can be equally effective for total knee replacement surgery. The present study will evaluate outcomes of robotic-assisted versus conventional total knee replacement surgery in patients between 40 and 85 years old with end stage arthritis of the knee. Other than surgical technique, patients will receive the same operative care and knee replacement implants. In addition to standard x-rays, subjects will be asked to complete several short-term clinical and functional tests and questionnaires to determine outcomes of their surgery.

tDCS + Cognitive Behavioral Therapy for Postoperative Pain
Charleston, South Carolina
The purpose of this study is to determine whether a new medical technology can help reduce post-operative total knee or hip pain when combined with a Cognitive-Behavioral intervention (CBI).
This new medical technology, is called transcranial direct current stimulation (tDCS), it uses a very small amount of electricity to temporarily stimulate specific areas of the brain thought to be involved in pain reduction. The electrical current passes through the skin, scalp, hair, and skull and requires no additional medication, sedation, or needles.
This study will investigate the effects of tDCS, the Cognitive-Behavioral (CB) intervention and their combination on pain among veterans following total knee arthroplasty (TKA) or total hip arthroplasty (THA). The Veteran may benefit in the form of decreased pain and opioid requirements following knee or hip replacement surgery. However, benefit is only likely if Veterans are randomized to one of the 3 (out of 4) groups.
This study hopes to determine the effects of these interventions and combined effect on post-operative pain, opioid use and functioning during the 48-hour post-operative period following a total knee or hip replacement.

Nerve Block Techniques for Postoperative Pain from Knee Surgery
Montreal, Quebec
Total knee replacement surgery can be associated with a significant postoperative pain burden and an inability to mobilize adequately, which can lead to the failure of the ambulatory course.
Indeed, early mobilization is beneficial in this context in order to prevent complications related to immobility.
The optimization of postoperative analgesia is therefore a key issue for the success of this intervention in an outpatient setting or during a short-term hospitalization since an adequate pain relief facilitate the earlier mobilization of the operated joint. Modern postoperative analgesia protocols recommend a multimodal approach, including the use of acetaminophen, anti-inflammatories, opioids and others as well as the use of nerve blocks.
Some nerve blocks used for total knee replacement surgery, such as the femoral nerve block, do not preserve the motor skills of the operated limb, which may alter the clinical trajectory due to delayed mobilization due to weakening of the quadriceps, one of the extensor muscles of the knee. Currently, one of the blocks used to spare the motor functions is the block of the femoral triangle.
Unfortunately, this block of the femoral triangle does not fully cover the skin component of the surgical incision used for a total knee arthroplasty. A solution to obtain a better quality of pain relief at the level of the cutaneous incision would be to add a block of the para-sartorial compartment, which makes it possible to cover the nerve territories not covered by the femoral triangle block.
The hypothesis of this study is that the addition of the para-sartorial compartments (PACS) block, which aims to block the intermediate cutaneous femoral nerve, will improve the postoperative analgesia after total knee replacement surgery, compared to the classical isolated approach of the femoral triangle block (FTB).

Total Knee Arthroplasty is becoming an increasingly common operation. An important part of a successful overall patient outcome is regaining functional range of motion after surgery. Wearable devices for fitness have become increasingly common. This study seeks to utilize wearable technology to enhance the post-operative rehabilitation experience by allowing patients and surgeons to monitor patient recovery in real time. The Consensus TracPatch is a wearable device which utilizes an accelerometer, temperature sensor and step count to monitor patient recovery. This tool provides critical, real-time information that may offer a more complete source of data to understand a patient's postoperative clinical and rehabilitation course and guide physician postoperative management. The study hypothesizes that this new technology will improve patient postoperative mobility and patient-physician communication.

Pain Coach App for Postoperative Pain in Joint Replacement Surgery
Dartmouth, Nova Scotia
The goal of this clinical trial is to learn if the Pain Coach App will result in less opioids being prescribed to and used by patients undergoing Shoulder/Hip/Knee Arthroplasty surgery while maintaining the same or better pain control versus standard of care. The main questions it aims to answer are:
1. Will elective shoulder, hip and knee arthroplasty patients using PainCoach App be prescribed and/or use less opioids, measured by total morphine milliequivalents (MME) after surgery when compared to those treated as standard of care while maintaining similar pain control?
2. Will arthroplasty surgeons using PainCoach App write more patient-specific prescriptions resulting in a reduction in opioids prescribed after surgery with no increase in further opioids prescribed in the months following surgery?
3. Will the use of Pain Coach App lead to equal or reduced healthcare system utilization after surgery?
4. Will patients and surgeons using PainCoach App find it helpful enough to use it again and recommend to colleagues, family and friends?
Researchers will compare participants assigned to use Pain Coach App vs participants assigned to standard of care arm to see if there are differences in opioid prescriptions and self reported use.
Participants will either use the Pain Coach App or follow standard of care instructions and be followed forward for the opioid prescriptions dispensed in community and self-reported opioids use at study end.

Frequently Asked Questions
How much do Knee Replacement Surgery clinical trials pay?
Each trial will compensate patients a different amount, but $50-100 for each visit is a fairly common range for Phase 2–4 trials (Phase 1 trials often pay substantially more). Further, most trials will cover the costs of a travel to-and-from the clinic.
How do Knee Replacement Surgery clinical trials work?
After a researcher reviews your profile, they may choose to invite you in to a screening appointment, where they'll determine if you meet 100% of the eligibility requirements. If you do, you'll be sorted into one of the treatment groups, and receive your study drug. For some trials, there is a chance you'll receive a placebo. Across Knee Replacement Surgery trials 30% of clinical trials have a placebo. Typically, you'll be required to check-in with the clinic every month or so. The average trial length for Knee Replacement Surgery is 12 months.
How do I participate in a study as a "healthy volunteer"?
Not all studies recruit healthy volunteers: usually, Phase 1 studies do. Participating as a healthy volunteer means you will go to a research facility several times over a few days or weeks to receive a dose of either the test treatment or a "placebo," which is a harmless substance that helps researchers compare results. You will have routine tests during these visits, and you'll be compensated for your time and travel, with the number of appointments and details varying by study.
What does the "phase" of a clinical trial mean?
The phase of a trial reveals what stage the drug is in to get approval for a specific condition. Phase 1 trials are the trials to collect safety data in humans. Phase 2 trials are those where the drug has some data showing safety in humans, but where further human data is needed on drug effectiveness. Phase 3 trials are in the final step before approval. The drug already has data showing both safety and effectiveness. As a general rule, Phase 3 trials are more promising than Phase 2, and Phase 2 trials are more promising than phase 1.
Do I need to be insured to participate in a Knee Replacement Surgery medical study?
Clinical trials are almost always free to participants, and so do not require insurance. The only exception here are trials focused on cancer, because only a small part of the typical treatment plan is actually experimental. For these cancer trials, participants typically need insurance to cover all the non-experimental components.
What are the newest Knee Replacement Surgery clinical trials?
Most recently, we added Smart Knee Implants for Osteoarthritis, Nurse Navigator Program for High-Risk Hospital Patients and Condylar vs Stabilized Bearing for Knee Replacement to the Power online platform.
