OBJECTIVE: To study the efficacy of hylan G-F 20 in the treatment of osteoarthritis (OA) of the hip joint. DESIGN: Prospective within-group study. SETTING: Musculoskeletal rehabilitation clinic. PARTICIPANTS: Twenty-two patients (25 hips) with hip joint OA who had failed to find pain relief from conservative methods such as physical therapy, exercises, and steroid injections. Demographics included 14 men and 11 women (mean age, 56.4y), 21 of whom had mild to moderate OA and 4 of whom had severe OA of the hips. INTERVENTION: Each hip joint was injected with 2mL of hylan G-F 20 at 2, 3, and 4 weeks and fluoroscopic lavage with 100mL of normal saline at week 1. All patients had standard hip exercise regimen after the injection. MAIN OUTCOME MEASURES: American Academy of Orthopaedic Surgeons (AAOS) Lower Limb Core Scale score and visual numeric pain score. RESULTS: At 1-year follow-up, the AAOS Lower Limb Core Scale score improved from a preinjection mean of 44.2 to a follow-up mean of 86.1 (P<.05). The mean visual numeric pain score improved from a preinjection mean of 8.7 (range, 6.4-10) to a follow-up mean of 2.3 (range, 0-7.2). The overall success rate was 84%. In patients with mild to moderate OA, the mean pain score decreased from a preinjection value of 7.8 to a follow-up value of 1.7. The success rate was 90.5% in that subgroup. In patients with severe OA, the mean pain score decreased from a preinjection value of 9.1 to a follow-up value of 3.8. The success rate was 50% in that subgroup. There were no complications related to the injection. CONCLUSION: Use of hylan G-F 20 injection is a viable option for treatment of mild to moderate OA of the hip joint. 相似文献

The objectives of this study were to investigate the effects of Hylan G-F 20 (Synvisc; Genzyme Biosurgery, Ridgefield, New Jersey, USA) injections on clinical and biomechanical gait characteristics of patients with knee osteoarthritis. The design was a before-after trial, set in the gait laboratory of the rehabilitation unit of a university hospital. Twelve patients participated with an average age (+/-SD) of 63.2+/-4.4 years, and Kellgren and Lawrence grade II or III knee osteoarthritis. The main outcome measures were the Western Ontario McMaster Universities Osteoarthritis Index, and time-distance, kinematic and kinetic parameters of gait. The intervention used was a single course of three bilateral intra-articular injections of 2 ml Hylan G-F 20. One week after the treatment, the pain subscore and total score of WOMAC decreased from 9.2+/-2.7 to 4.8+/-3.1 and from 42.1+/-15.2 to 37.9+/-13.5, respectively. There was improvement in sagittal plane excursions of the knee (from 40.2+/-8.1 to 43.3+/-8.5), in extensor and adductor moments (from 0.26+/-0.2 to 0.14+/-0.1 and from 0.45+/-0.1 to 0.41+/-0.1, respectively), and in scaled vertical forces (from 85.8+/-4.5 to 88.4+/-5.4). All these differences were statistically significant.In conclusion, intra-articular Hylan G-F 20 injections not only decrease pain in patients with knee osteoarthritis, but can alter the natural history of the disease by decreasing excessive loads in the knees. 相似文献

OBJECTIVE: To assess the difference in efficacy between knee lavage plus the standard hylan G-F 20 (a derivative of hyaluronan) protocol and the standard hylan G-F 20 as per standard usage protocol alone for the treatment of knee osteoarthritis (OA). DESIGN: Nonrandomized prospective study in which patients chose their treatment group. Follow-up averaged 1.1 years. SETTING: Faculty practice of a single physician at a major teaching hospital. PARTICIPANTS: Eighty-one patients with documented knee OA on magnetic resonance imaging. INTERVENTIONS: Group 1 (n=44) received a single-needle lavage 1 week before the standard hylan G-F 20 protocol; group 2 (n=37) received the standard hylan G-F 20 protocol alone. MAIN OUTCOME MEASURES: Pre- and posttreatment scores on the Lysholm-II Questionnaire and a visual analog scale (VAS) were documented for each patient. The Wilcoxon signed-rank test was used for statistical analysis. RESULTS: A successful outcome was noted in 79.5% of group 1 patients and in 54% of group 2 patients (P<.05). CONCLUSIONS: In the management of knee OA, the use of knee lavage before viscosupplementation with hylan G-F 20 yields better results than using hylan G-F 20 alone. The presence of radiologic grade IV knee OA or moderate to severe patellofemoral arthritis are negative prognostic factors. 相似文献

OBJECTIVE: To investigate the local effects of hylan G-F 20 on locally administered corticosteroid-induced experimental Achilles' tendonitis. DESIGN: Before-after trial. SETTING: Institutional practice. ANIMALS: Convenience sample of 18 male Wistar white rats (weight range, 322-375 g). INTERVENTIONS: After performing Achilles' degeneration with local corticosteroid injections, the rats were divided into 4 groups. The right Achilles' tendon of the rats served as the hylan injection group and the left tendon as the control group, which was injected with saline at 5-day intervals. The tendons and paratenons were excised at the end of 60 or 75 days and evaluated histopathologically and statistically. MAIN OUTCOME MEASURE: Histopathologic changes, including staining affinity, nuclear appearance, fibrillar appearance for tendon and thickness, occurrence of fibrosis and edema, capillary changes, and inflammation for paratenon, were assessed according to a semiquantitative scoring system. The Mann-Whitney U test was used for statistical analysis, with a P value of.05 or less considered statistically significant. RESULTS: Semiquantitative scoring of histopathologic changes showed that histologic appearances differed between the hylan and saline groups and between 2 hylan groups. Hylan-injected tendons and paratenons demonstrated significantly lower scores, especially after 75 days. CONCLUSIONS: Hylan G-F 20 has a promising curative effect on the tendon and paratenon and can be used in Achilles' tendonitis. This finding should be supported by biomechanical and biochemical studies. 相似文献

The objective of this 12-week, double-masked, randomized, multicenter study was to compare the elastoviscous properties of a high-molecular-weight viscosupplement, hylan G-F 20 (polymer concentration, 0.8%), with those of a lower-molecular-weight hyaluronan (LMW HA) product (polymer concentration, 1%) and to determine the relationship of elastoviscosity to efficacy in the treatment of patients with osteoarthritis (OA) of the knee. Patients had radiographically confirmed primary idiopathic OA of the knee (Larsen grades I to V) with pain despite other treatments. After a 2-week washout period, 70 patients (73 knees) received three 2-mL intra-articular injections of test solution at 1-week intervals. Thirty-eight patients (38 knees) received hylan G-F 20, and 32 patients (35 knees) received LMW HA. During the 12-week follow-up period, the primary outcome measures assessed by patients (using a visual analogue scale) were weight-bearing pain, most painful knee movement, and overall treatment response; the primary outcome measures assessed by study evaluators were weight-bearing pain and overall assessment of treatment. The dynamic elastoviscous properties of the test solutions were measured on an oscillating Couette-type rheometer. Hylan G-F 20 was more elastoviscous than the LMW HA at all frequencies measured (0.001 to 10 Hz). At the final evaluation, patients who received hylan G-F 20 had significantly better results on all primary outcome measures compared with those who received LMW HA. No systemic adverse events were reported. Local adverse events consisted of pain or swelling, noted in 2 of 38 knees injected with hylan G-F 20, and pain, noted in 1 of 35 knees injected with LMW HA (adverse event rates per injection, 1.8% and 0.9%, respectively). The difference in the incidence of adverse events between groups was not statistically significant. The higher-molecular-weight, more elastoviscous hylan G-F 20 had significantly greater pain-relieving effects than did the lower-molecular-weight, less elastoviscous hyaluronan. 相似文献

We report a prospective controlled trial, comparing acupuncture with no treatment, in patients with advanced osteoarthritis of the knee awaiting total knee replacement. Knee function was assessed at the beginning of study and at the end of two months, using four parameters: HSS score, time to walk 50 metres, time to climb 20 steps, and degree of pain. Acupuncture was given at four local points around the knee and at one distal point. The acupuncture group improved in all parameters, whereas the control group deteriorated, a finding that was highly statistically significant (p < 0.0002). Further randomised-controlled trials with longer follow-up are required to confirm these findings. 相似文献

OBJECTIVE: Continuous passive motion (CPM) has been shown to increase significantly the amount of knee flexion for patients with total knee arthroplasty in the acute care hospital. Whether there is any additional benefit to using CPM for these patients who are transferred to a rehabilitation hospital is not known. There have been no prospective, randomized, controlled studies in this area. DESIGN: Fifty-one such patients on an inpatient rehabilitation service were randomly assigned to two groups. Group 1 (n = 23) received CPM for 5 consecutive hours per day plus physical therapy, whereas group 2 (n = 28) received only physical therapy. Knee flexion was measured by a blinded physical therapist on admission, on the third and seventh days of hospitalization, and at the time of discharge. RESULTS: The results indicated no significant difference in passive range of motion between group 1 and group 2. Patients in group 1 achieved an average increase in passive range of motion of 16 degrees, whereas those in group 2 achieved an average of 19 degrees (P = 0.33). CONCLUSION: Although power analysis indicated the need for differences in results for 32 patients per group to achieve significance, the difference between the two groups suggested neither statistical nor clinical significance. We concluded that the use of CPM in the rehabilitation hospital is likely of no added benefit to patients admitted after single total-knee replacement. 相似文献

OBJECTIVES: To identify the determinants of self-report mobility measures in people with knee osteoarthritis (OA) and to compare self-report measures with physical performance. DESIGN: Cross-sectional, prospective. SETTING: Motor performance laboratory and human mobility research center. PARTICIPANTS: A convenient sample of 54 participants with medial compartment knee OA (32 women, 22 men; age 68.3+/-8.7y; range, 50-87y). Three participants were excluded because of the presence of lateral knee OA on radiographs. INTERVENTIONS: Not applicable. MAIN OUTCOME MEASURES: Self-reports were recorded by using the Western Ontario McMaster Universities Osteoarthritis Index (WOMAC) and the Medical Outcomes Study 36-Item Short-Form Health Survey (SF-36). Performance measures included the six-minute walk test (6MWT), Timed Up & Go (TUG) test, and a standardized stair-climbing task (STR). RESULTS: Stepwise linear regression analysis identified models that included pain, quadriceps and hamstrings strength, and depression to explain 62% to 73% of the variance in scores on the physical functioning subscale of the WOMAC and the SF-36. These self-report measures had a moderate relation (r range, .46-.64) with performance measures (6MWT, TUG, STR). CONCLUSIONS: Self-report measures were strongly related to pain; physical performance measures were strongly related to self-efficacy. Regression models showed that self-report scores reflect pain, knee strength, and depression. The relation between self-report and performance measures was moderate, suggesting that these examine different aspects of mobility. 相似文献

Functional performance and inflammatory cytokines after squat exercises and whole-body vibration in elderly individuals with knee osteoarthritis.ObjectiveTo investigate the effects of squat exercises combined with whole-body vibration on the plasma concentration of inflammatory markers and the functional performance of elderly individuals with knee osteoarthritis (OA).DesignClinical, prospective, randomized, single-blinded study.SettingExercise physiology laboratory.ParticipantsElderly subjects with knee OA (N=32) were divided into 3 groups: (1) squat exercises on a vibratory platform (platform group, n=11); (2) squat exercises without vibration (squat group, n=10); and (3) the control group (n=11).InterventionsThe structured program of squat exercises in the platform and squat groups was conducted 3 times per week, on alternate days, for 12 weeks.Main Outcome MeasuresPlasma soluble tumor necrosis factor-α receptors 1 (sTNFR1) and 2 (sTNFR2) were measured using immunoassays (the enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay method). The Western Ontario and McMaster Universities Osteoarthritis Index questionnaire was used to evaluate self-reported physical function, pain, and stiffness. The 6-minute walk test, the Berg Balance Scale, and gait speed were used to evaluate physical function.ResultsIn the platform group, there were significant reductions in the plasma concentrations of the inflammatory markers sTNFR1 and sTNFR2 (P<.001 and P<.05, respectively) and self-reported pain (P<.05) compared with the control group, and there was an increase in balance (P<.05) and speed and distance walked (P<.05 and P<.001, respectively). In addition, the platform group walked faster than the squat group (P<.01).ConclusionsThe results suggest that whole-body vibration training improves self-perception of pain, balance, gait quality, and inflammatory markers in elderly subjects with knee OA. 相似文献

BACKGROUND: Osteoarthritis is a highly prevalent, disabling condition that causes significant pain and suffering among older adults. Cognitively impaired elders are as susceptible to osteoarthritis as their peers. However, since they have diminished ability to communicate their pain, an alternative method to detect osteoarthritis pain in cognitively impaired elders is urgently needed. Because the late stages of osteoarthritis involve joint inflammation with a mild increase in local temperature, skin surface temperature might reasonably be expected to serve as a proxy measure of osteoarthritis pain. If knee surface temperature could be shown to predict pain in cognitively intact elders, it could be used as a proxy measure of pain for cognitively impaired elders. AIM: To test this, the study reported here assessed the relationship between knee surface temperature and pain in cognitively intact elders with osteoarthritis of the knee. METHODS: We recruited 12 cognitively intact elders with documented osteoarthritis of the knee who lived in retirement apartments. Elders' pain and knee temperature were measured three times on three separate occasions. Osteoarthritis pain of the knee was measured using the Knee Pain Scale and the Western Ontario and McMaster Osteoarthritis Index pain subscale. A YSI Model 4000 Dual Channel Display Telethermometer was used to measure knee temperature. RESULTS: We found no significant associations between knee temperature and any of the pain measures used, with one exception. However, body mass index, amount of pain medication used and activity level observed during the interview were significantly related to elders' pain. CONCLUSION: Knee temperature does not appear to predict knee pain in elders with osteoarthritis of the knee. Body mass index, use of pain medication and activity level are better predictors of this. 相似文献

Aims: The aim of this study was to assess patient outcome after discontinuation of alfuzosin treatment in patients with benign prostatic hyperplasia (BPH). Methods: This study included 200 BPH patients. Alpha‐blockers were discontinued after 12 weeks of treatment when the International Prostatic Symptom Score (IPSS) was reduced to < 8 points, peak urine flow rate (Qmax) was increased to ≥ 15 ml/s, the postvoiding residual (PVR) urine volume was ≤ 100 ml and the patient agreed to discontinue treatment. Urinary symptoms of the patients were assessed at 4, 8, 12 and 24 weeks after discontinuation of medication, and surveys were performed asking whether patients wanted to restart administration of medication. Results: Of 200 enrolled patients, 142 (71.00%) received 12 weeks of treatment with 10 mg of alfuzosin. The medication was discontinued in 58 of 142 patients (40.85%) because urinary symptoms had improved. Among these patients, follow‐up observations were performed for 49 patients up to 24 weeks after treatment discontinued. Of these 49 patients, 28 (57.14%) showed correct urination without a need to restart treatment up to 24 weeks after the medication was discontinued. The discontinuation group demonstrated improved voiding symptoms, including Qmax and PVR, relative to the re‐administration group at baseline. Furthermore, the discontinuation group showed a smaller prostate volume than the re‐administration group (p = 0.045). Conclusion: When patients with BPH displayed symptomatic improvement upon treatment with alpha‐blockers, the improvements were maintained in a select subpopulation of patients without the need to re‐administer the alpha‐blockers. 相似文献

AIMS: To evaluate the effect of waiting on health-related quality of life (HRQoL), pain and physical function in patients awaiting primary total knee replacement (TKR) due to osteoarthritis. METHODS: Some 438 patients awaiting TKR were randomized to a short waiting time (WT) group (< or =3 months) or a non-fixed WT group. In the final assessment, 310 patients (213 women) with a mean age of 68 years were included. HRQoL was measured on being placed on the waiting list and again at hospital admission using the generic 15D. Patients' self-report pain and physical function were evaluated using a scale modified from the Knee Society Clinical Rating System. RESULTS: The median WTs for patients with short and non-fixed WT were 73 days (range 8-600 days) and 266 days (range 28-818 days), respectively. At admission, as assessed by the intention-to-treat analysis, there were no statistically significant differences between the groups in the 15D total score and disease-specific pain and function. CONCLUSIONS: Our study showed that longer WT did not result in worse pre-operative HRQoL. 相似文献

Although the number of patients undergoing successful liver transplants each year has increased dramatically, little information is available on the functional outcome of such patients. A survey was conducted to determine the functional and vocational outcome of patients three years after orthotopic liver transplantation. Questionnaires were sent to 45 patients who had liver transplants in 1985, of whom 31 responded. Fourteen patients (47%) reported abnormal function in at least one limb; four patients (13%) reported developing gout. All patients were independent in ADLs and mobility; assistive devices were used by four patients. Nineteen patients (61%) reported severe impairment in endurance before transplant; 15 (48%) were unable to ambulate outside the house. After transplant only two patients (6%) reported severely impaired endurance, and all but two were able to walk at least three blocks. Three years after transplant, 12 patients (39%) were working full time and eight patients (26%) were homemakers. Work performance was most commonly limited by fractures (12 patients) and lack of concentration (seven patients). Thus, despite frequent limitations in limb function, patients after liver transplant are largely independent in ADLs and mobility, have improved endurance, and can often return to work despite physical limitations. 相似文献

Functional nocturnal enuresis is a common problem which causes a great deal of stress to the suffering children and their families. Some chiropractors advocate chiropractic care as a mode of therapy for this complaint. One hundred and seventy-one enuretic children, aged 4 to 15, were treated with chiropractic adjustments, and their number of wet nights was monitored by their parents. The median number of wet nights per week was 7.0 at the onset of the study. After 2 wk without any therapy, the number of wet nights had decreased to 5.6 (p = .01) and by the end of the treatment this figure was 4.0 (p less than .0001). Following the course of treatment, 15.5% of subjects wet a maximum of 2 nights per fortnight, or, where data for the last 2 wk of therapy were unavailable, a maximum of 1 night/wk. This result is less favorable than the therapeutic success of other common types of therapy, which have reported "cure" rates well above 50%. The only variable which predicted treatment outcome was the initial estimate of bed-wetting; the more severe the condition at the onset, the less likely was the child to improve by the end of the study. In the absence of a control group there appears to be no validity in the claim that chiropractic is a treatment of choice for functional nocturnal enuresis. 相似文献
