An observational study in Osteoarthritis, Knee, Knee Arthritis and Gout Arthritis, sponsored by Iuliu Hatieganu University of Medicine and Pharmacy. Status unknown. Open to participants aged 18 Years to 90 Years. Per ClinicalTrials.gov, last updated 2023-01-10.
Sponsored by Iuliu Hatieganu University of Medicine and Pharmacy · Observational
The research study aims to evaluate the synovial fluid to highlight the presence of possible micropolymers (micro/nanoplastics) in order to better understand the pathophysiology of joint degenerative processes. For patients with liquid under tension at the joint level, the symptomatology often requires evacuation by puncture under ultrasound guidance. The intervention will be performed only for patients for whom this therapeutic indication exists anyway by their physician.
The investigators want to use this liquid for Microscopic and Spectrophotometric evaluation.
3,292 studies on the registry are indexed under Osteoarthritis, Knee; 623 are open to participants now.
This study's planned enrollment of 50 is below the median of 100 across 486 observational studies indexed under Osteoarthritis, Knee.
