London, Ontario
The goal of this study is to to examine the feasibility of a full-scale trial on Helping Hand, a new Joint Protection Program for Hand Osteoarthritis and to examine the acceptability of the new Joint Protection Program.
This study will not assess the effectiveness of the program, as it is not designed or powered to do so. Instead, the information gathered will be used to refine the trial design and ensure the future full-scale trial that will assess the effectiveness of the program is robust and successful. The acceptability of the new Joint Protection Program will be assessed through a survey that will be administered to the intervention group at the end of the trial, which will be based on a standardized acceptability framework
Participants will:
Gain access to an online Joint Protection Program or continue to receive usual care for 12 weeks Visit the clinic or complete online assessments once every 4 weeks Keep a diary of their symptoms and the number of times they used other interventions to manage their symptoms (i.e. painkillers)

Brain Stimulation + Yoga for Osteoarthritis
London, Ontario
People with knee arthritis often experience constant pain, and current treatments aren't very effective. This can lead to limited movement and more health problems. Knee arthritis is a big part of healthcare costs in Canada, and its pain is a major reason people see doctors. The pain is linked to complex nervous system changes, making current treatments, like exercise, not very successful.
To address this, researchers suggest a new approach combining two things: a brain stimulation technique called Transcranial Direct Current Stimulation (tDCS) and yoga. TDCS helps with pain by changing how the brain works, and yoga, a safe practice, focuses on overall well-being. Together, the investigators aim to improve how the nervous system works from top to bottom.
The research project wants to change how the arthritis pain is being managed by focusing on how it works. The investigators plan to test this combo in a study comparing real tDCS plus yoga with fake tDCS plus yoga. The investigators will look not only at pain but also at other measures related to pain and how the nervous system works. This new mix could be a meaningful way to reduce pain for people with knee arthritis.

Synovectomy for Osteoarthritis
London, Ontario
Osteoarthritis (OA) is the most common joint disease, causing severe pain due to joint inflammation (synovitis). While total knee arthroplasty (TKA) is commonly performed to reduce pain, 20% of patients are dissatisfied with their outcome post-surgery. This dissatisfaction is caused by persistent pain post-TKA due to synovitis that is not routinely removed during surgery. To address this problem, a synovectomy can be performed during TKA, which involves resecting the inflamed layer of tissue lining the joint, called the synovium, and its associated sensory nerve endings. Since the synovium will regenerate in the months post-surgery, synovectomy only transiently reduces pain after TKA. The proposed study will help ascertain the benefits and effects of synovectomy in patients who are more likely to experience poor satisfaction (driven mostly by pain) post-TKA. This study will include 62 patients undergoing TKA due to end-stage OA who have moderate to severe synovitis, as determined by ultrasound assessment. Patients will be randomized (1:1) to undergo a TKA with synovectomy or without synovectomy. Primary and secondary outcomes will be assessed through patient-reported levels of pain and function, results from physical performance tests, and quality of life (QOL) scores. These measures will be recorded pre- and post-surgery for comparison. Through demonstrating that synovectomy can at least transiently reduce pain post-TKA, this study will provide evidence for the development of medical therapies that target the synovium to slow its regrowth. This will be transformative for the long-term management of joint pain and synovitis post-surgery, thus significantly improving patients' overall QOL.

Technology & Exercise Programming for Osteoarthritis
London, Ontario
Many individuals with osteoarthritis (OA) (up to 45%) are referred to an orthopaedic surgeon for a joint replacement prematurely or will not be candidates for surgery. These individuals need appropriate (non-operative) care to help reduce their pain and enhance their mobility. We are studying the use of innovative technology to help physicians give physical activity advice for patients to become more active and provide free online resources to help patients understand OA self-management and exercise, especially when they have barriers to accessing formal care. Individuals with OA that are referred to a specialized clinic will receive one of three interventions: usual care (handout on resources), a physical activity prescription by a doctor, or the prescription and a link to a free web-based platform (website) on non-operative management of OA with patient education and exercise videos. Our goal is to help with non-operative management strategies to improve quality of life, reduce pain, improve mobility, and possibly delay or prevent a joint replacement.
Osteoarthritis is a condition where people feel joint pain or stiffness. Joints are the body parts where two bones join together with softer material (cartilage) between them. In osteoarthritis, this cartilage wears down. It is the biggest cause for disability worldwide. Helping people with osteoarthritis starts with education, physical activity, and physiotherapy. Doctors can also prescribe braces, injections or medications. For severe osteoarthritis when nothing else helps, surgery can be done to replace the joint.
Doctors often refer patients for surgery too soon. Skipping steps of care may mean unnecessary surgery and longer wait times. The Musculoskeletal Rapid Access Clinic (now called Clinic) in London was set up to solve these problems. They screen patients before referring them to a surgeon, and do not refer almost half of patients. Our goal is to support these patients with new ways to make their non-surgical treatment better.
The first way is through physical activity 'prescription'. It works well for other chronic conditions and patients say it helps. We don't know how well it works for people with osteoarthritis. Most doctors have little time, training or experience for prescribing physical activity. Technology can make it easier for doctors and patients. We have designed a tool to help doctors prescribe physical activity and a smartphone app to track patient activity. We have also created a free website. This includes patient education, exercise videos, and virtual physiotherapy. This can be important for individuals who can't access in-person care.

Shoulder Surgery Techniques for Shoulder Osteoarthritis
London, Ontario
Osteoarthritis (OA) of the shoulder is a disease resulting from the wearing down of cartilage over time. OA can produce pain and dysfunction at the affected joint and is a growing occurrence in an aging population. Total shoulder arthroplasty (TSA) is a surgical treatment used to treat patients with shoulder OA which involves replacing the worn-out ball and socket shoulder joint with prosthetic components. TSA is performed today with high success rates, however, complication rates associated with TSA remain prevalent particularly when the arthritis is associated with bone erosion on the glenoid (socket).
Given the high rate of revisions associated with TSA treatment in the setting of glenoid bone erosion, a number of surgical strategies have been developed. These surgical techniques include eccentric reaming which involves removing bone from the front of the socket, augmented glenoid component implantation, and posterior bone grafting to compensate for glenoid bone loss, and reverse shoulder arthroplasty. Few research studies have compared these different surgical techniques to one another. Previous studies have been limited to case series with small sample sizes and respective designs. This study is being conducted to determine which approach produces better outcomes. For the purpose of this study we will be comparing total shoulder arthroplasty techniques a) augmented glenoid component and eccentric reaming and b) augmented glenoid component and bone grafting in participants with advanced glenohumeral osteoarthritis.

Coated vs. Standard Knee Implants for Osteoarthritis
London, Ontario
Metal hypersensitivity is a recognized complication in some patients following total joint arthroplasty. This can result in a reaction to metal particles from the implants placed in the joint and cause tissue injury. The Evolution® NitrX™ (MicroPort Orthopaedics, Memphis, TN) knee implant was designed with the addition of a coating meant to create a barrier against the release of metal ions. The primary purpose of this study is to compare the Evolution and Evolution NitrX implant (implants your surgeon uses in total knee arthroplasty surgery). This study will compare the stability of these knee implants (any movement the implant makes after surgery) through the use of specialized xrays, called "radiostereometric analysis" (RSA for short). The investigators will also compare levels of circulating metal particles with blood draws and the effects of any circulating metal with MR imaging. The investigators will also be looking at the participants clinical outcomes using joint function and patient satisfaction questionnaires. A total of 50 patients will be enrolled into the study.

Anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) ruptures are very common knee injuries amongst youth involved in sports and are often treated through ACL reconstruction surgeries. Unfortunately, up to 50% of individuals who undergo ACL reconstruction develop post-traumatic osteoarthritis (PTOA) in their injured knee by 20 years post-reconstruction causing pain, decreasing mobility, and impacting quality of life in young active individuals. Much remains unknown regarding the secondary prevention of PTOA, and more investigation is necessary to better understand its disease progression post-ACL reconstruction and types of conservative interventions that can prevent or delay its onset.
Physical activity has improved patient-reported outcomes across many different chronic diseases including knee osteoarthritis (OA), and physical activity prescription has been shown to be an effective way to increase patients' levels of physical activity. It has not yet been heavily investigated in the context of post-ACL reconstruction, and individuals often exhibit decreased physical activity after ACL reconstruction which causes suboptimal cartilage health. Thus, physical activity prescription may improve habitual joint loading, leading to improved cartilage health and patient-reported health outcomes.

LET + ACL Reconstruction for Knee Injuries
London, Ontario
From 2014-2017, across 7 Canadian and 2 European sites, we randomized 618 patients at high-risk of re-injury, to anterior cruciate ligament reconstruction (ACLR) with or without a lateral extraarticular tenodesis (LET) and demonstrated that the addition of the LET reduced the risk of instability (RRR=0.38; 95% Confidence Interval (CI), 0.21-0.52; P=0.0001) and graft re-rupture (RRR, 0.67; 95% CI, 0.36-0.83; P=0.001). As a result, practice has changed; there has been a large increase in the proportion of orthopaedic surgeons recommending the addition of an LET at the time of ACLR and an increase in the number of patients requesting an LET from their surgeon. There is some weak evidence suggesting that in the longer term, the LET may increase the risk of developing osteoarthritis (OA) in that knee. Knee OA affects over 4.4 million Canadians and the number of younger adults being diagnosed with knee OA is growing and is a primary reason for seeking healthcare in Canada. The impact of OA in Canada is enormous and projected to cost Canada $17.5 billion annually in lost productivity alone by 2031. This study will use imaging and patient-reported Knee Outcomes Osteoarthritis Score (KOOS) to evaluate the incidence of OA at 10-years post ACL reconstruction with and without LET. We will also collect information about overall knee health, patient-reported outcomes, costs associated with knee injury, rehabilitation and disability, clinical failure, functional ability, and sport participation. It is crucial that we understand the risks of developing knee OA associated with the addition of an LET to an ACLR so that surgeons and patients can make informed decisions, not just for their immediate post injury treatment of the failed ligament, but for the potential long-term consequences of that decision.

Computer-navigated THA Surgery for Total Hip Replacement
London, Ontario
Replacing diseased hip joints with prosthetic implants in a procedure called total hip arthroplasty (THA) is associated with high rates of patient satisfaction, pain relief, and functional improvement when the implant is appropriately placed. Incorrect implant size or placement may lead to a breadth of negative outcomes, which could result in the need for implant revision. It is difficult to assess the precise orientation of patient hips on the operating table, with one study revealing that only 26% of acetabular cups placed without technological assistance are correctly positioned. Using computer navigation as a guide to achieve optimal implant alignment may improve successful placement rates. The additional incorporation of real-time modeling software may further help realize higher rates of successful implant placement. This study, therefore, aims to investigate a computer navigation system coupled with real-time modeling software to establish the benefit of such technology in the operating room, and further improve positive patient outcomes following THA. We hypothesize that including technological assistance in THAs will yield better patient outcomes compared to surgeries performed freehand.

Morphine + Vancomycin for Pain Control After Knee Replacement
Roanoke, Virginia
Study investigators propose to investigate if a bony injection of pain medication during a knee replacement will help pain levels following primary knee replacement surgery. To investigate this, 86 patients will be enrolled. Half of the patients will receive a bony injection of antibiotics with morphine (pain medication) while the other half will receive a bony injection of antibiotics with placebo (no pain medication). Following surgery, patient pain levels and pain medication consumption will be measured.
The injection is intraosseous meaning in the bone. The needle pierces the bone and the medication is injected into the bone. The site of injection is on the anterior (front) of the upper portion of the tibia. The medications are Vancomycin (antibiotic) and Morphine (pain medication) which are mixed in separate syringes and then injected. Intraosseous vancomycin is standard of care while intraosseous vancomycin with morphine is also standard of care, depending on operating surgeon.

On-Table vs Off-Table Techniques for Hip Replacement
Roanoke, Virginia
The Direct Anterior Approach (DAA) is a common way to perform total hip arthroplasty. There are two main techniques to perform total hip replacement through the anterior approach. The first method is the "on-table" method, which uses a specialized surgical table, called a traction table. This table involves placing both feet in specialized boots that are then hooked up to the table, and allows for positioning of the operative leg with aid of the table. The major limitations associated with the traction table are the need for two additional staff members and the purchase of said table. The second method is the "off-table" method. In this method the patient is placed on a standard operating room table and the operative leg is manually positioned by the surgeon during the procedure . This obviates the need for the additional staff members or purchase of a specialized table. Both the "on-table" and "off-table" techniques are routinely used both worldwide and by our joint replacement specialists at Carilion Clinic. This study will aim to compare the efficiency and efficacy of performing the DAA for total hip arthroplasty utilizing either the "on-table" or "off- table" technique. Patients will be randomized to receive their total hip arthroplasty with either the "on- table" or "off-table" method.

Meditation + Pain Management for Chronic Knee Pain
Charlottesville, Virginia
The purpose of this study is to investigate the efficacy of a positive affect enhancing intervention designed to reduce pain and augment reward system function in knee osteoarthritis (KOA) patients undergoing total knee arthroplasty (TKA). The scientific premise is that patient use of a positive emotion generative practice - savoring meditation, which has been demonstrated to reduce pain in experimental laboratory settings, enhanced with a pain neuroscience education component about reward system dysfunction as a chronic pain mechanism - is optimally suited to reduce postsurgical pain and augment reward system functioning relative to a Pain Self-Management and Education (PSME) condition. We will randomize 150 patients with KOA undergoing unilateral TKA to a brief, 4-session (20-30 minutes each) course of Savoring Meditation (SM; n = 75) or PSME (n = 75) delivered remotely by trained interventionists in a one-on-one format. We will assess pain and as well as pain-related risk and protective factors both via questionnaire and via weeklong ecological momentary assessment (EMA) data bursts on the following schedule: baseline, post-surgery, and 3-month follow-up. In addition, participants will attend laboratory testing sessions at baseline and 6-weeks post-surgery, during which affective pain modulation and electroencephalographic (EEG) brain biomarkers associated with pain and affect will be recorded. Participants in SM be encouraged to practice their savoring for 5 minutes/day during the week following surgery, as well as to use it to manage pain flares in a self-directed manner.

Frequently Asked Questions
How much do Osteoarthritis 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 Osteoarthritis 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 Osteoarthritis 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 Osteoarthritis 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 Osteoarthritis 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.
