About Arthritis

What is Arthritis?

Osteoarthritis is the most common form of arthritis. It involves breakdown of cartilage and changes in the bone and tissues of a joint, most often in the knees, hips, hands and spine, and can cause pain, stiffness and reduced movement.

How is Arthritis usually assessed?

Clinicians usually assess osteoarthritis through a history, physical examination of the joint and, in some cases, X-rays. Blood tests may help rule out other types of arthritis.

What kinds of treatments are studied for Arthritis?

Registered studies cover medicines, medical devices (such as nerve stimulators), procedures (such as nerve blocks or injections), physical and movement therapies, psychological approaches (such as cognitive behavioural therapy), education programs and digital tools. Being studied in a trial does not mean a treatment works or is approved. The interventions listed on this page come directly from the registry records.

How can I find Arthritis clinical trials in Canada?

This page lists 6 registry records for this term with at least one site in Canada, recruiting studies first. Each trial page links to the official ClinicalTrials.gov record, which lists the study contacts.
