Current Clinical Studies
OA of the Knee
Welcome to our dedicated page on knee osteoarthritis (OA) clinical studies at Elite Clinical Studies in Phoenix, Arizona. If you’re among those facing the challenges of knee osteoarthritis, we’re here to provide you with valuable insights into this condition and how our research is striving for improved treatments and solutions.
Understanding Knee Osteoarthritis (OA)
Knee osteoarthritis (OA) is a prevalent joint disorder characterized by the degeneration of the knee’s cartilage and underlying bone. It leads to pain, stiffness, and reduced joint function. Our clinical study in Phoenix is committed to shedding light on:
- Causes and Risk Factors: Investigating the underlying causes and potential risk factors contributing to the development and progression of knee osteoarthritis.
- Effective Interventions: Exploring interventions aimed at managing pain, improving knee function, and enhancing overall quality of life for individuals with knee OA.
- Enhanced Joint Health: Working towards strategies to promote better joint health and mobility for those dealing with knee osteoarthritis.
Symptoms of Knee Osteoarthritis (OA)
Joint Pain: Persistent pain and discomfort in the knee joint, often worsened by activity.
Stiffness: Reduced flexibility and increased difficulty in moving the knee joint.
Swelling: Inflammation and swelling around the affected knee area.
Limited Range of Motion: Difficulty in fully bending or straightening the knee.
Our Approach to Knee Osteoarthritis (OA) Clinical Studies
At Elite Clinical Studies in Phoenix, we recognize the significant impact that knee osteoarthritis can have on your life. Our research and clinical trials are focused on:
Innovative Treatments: Exploring novel methods to manage knee osteoarthritis symptoms, reduce pain, improve joint function, and enhance overall mobility.
Therapeutic Approaches: Investigating the effectiveness of various therapeutic approaches, including medications, physical therapies, and lifestyle modifications, in addressing knee OA.
Personalized Care: Recognizing the individuality of each participant’s experience, our experts provide tailored care to address specific needs and optimize treatment plans.

Type I or Type II Diabetes
Type I and Type II diabetes are both chronic metabolic disorders characterized by high blood sugar levels. Type I diabetes, often diagnosed in childhood or adolescence, on the other hand, Type II diabetes, typically diagnosed in adulthood.
Lipoprotein (a)
Lipoprotein (a), often abbreviated as Lp(a), is a type of lipoprotein particle that circulates in the blood. Elevated levels of Lp(a) in the blood have been associated with an increased risk of cardiovascular diseases, including heart attack and stroke.
Active Rotator Cuff Tendinopathy
Active rotator cuff tendinopathy refers to a condition characterized by inflammation and degeneration of the tendons in the rotator cuff muscles of the shoulder. It commonly occurs as a result of repetitive overhead activities or age-related wear and tear.
Acid Reflux
Acid reflux, also known as gastroesophageal reflux disease (GERD), is a condition characterized by the backflow of stomach acid into the esophagus. This occurs when the lower esophageal sphincter (LES), a muscular ring that separates the stomach from the esophagus, weakens or relaxes inappropriately.
Heartburn
Heartburn is a common symptom of acid reflux, characterized by a burning sensation in the chest or throat. It occurs when stomach acid flows back into the esophagus, causing irritation and discomfort.
Atopic Dermatitis
Atopic dermatitis, also known as eczema, is a chronic inflammatory skin condition characterized by dry, itchy, and red patches on the skin. It commonly affects individuals with a personal or family history of allergies, asthma, or hay fever.
Migraines
Migraines are a neurological condition characterized by recurring episodes of severe headaches. They typically cause throbbing or pulsating pain, often on one side of the head, and can be accompanied by other symptoms such as nausea, vomiting, sensitivity to light and sound, and visual disturbances.
Asthma
Asthma is a chronic respiratory condition characterized by inflammation and narrowing of the airways, leading to recurrent episodes of wheezing, coughing, chest tightness, and shortness of breath. It is a condition that can range from mild to severe, and its symptoms can vary in frequency and intensity from person to person.
Erosive Esophagitis
Erosive esophagitis is a condition characterized by inflammation and damage to the lining of the esophagus. It is commonly caused by gastroesophageal reflux disease (GERD), where stomach acid flows back into the esophagus, leading to irritation and erosion of the tissue.
COPD
COPD, or chronic obstructive pulmonary disease, is a progressive lung disease characterized by persistent airflow limitation. It is often caused by long-term exposure to irritants such as cigarette smoke, air pollution, and occupational hazards.
COPD with Exacerbations
COPD with exacerbations refers to the worsening of symptoms and a sudden increase in the severity of chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD). Exacerbations can be triggered by various factors, such as respiratory infections, exposure to irritants, changes in weather, or failure to adhere to treatment plans.
MACE
MACE stands for Major Adverse Cardiovascular Events. It is a term used to describe a group of serious cardiovascular events that can have significant health implications. MACE typically includes events such as heart attack, stroke, cardiovascular death, and the need for coronary revascularization procedures like angioplasty or bypass surgery.
Major Depression
Major depression, also known as clinical depression or major depressive disorder, is a mental health condition characterized by persistent feelings of sadness, hopelessness, and a loss of interest or pleasure in activities. It is more than just feeling down or having a “bad day.”
Hypertension
Hypertension, also known as high blood pressure, is a common medical condition characterized by elevated pressure in the arteries. It is often considered a silent or asymptomatic condition, but it can have serious health implications if left untreated.
Obesity w/Type II Diabetes
Obesity and Type II diabetes often go hand in hand and can have a significant impact on an individual’s health. Obesity is defined as having excess body fat, typically resulting from an imbalance between calorie intake and expenditure.
Obesity w/Cardio Vascular Disease
Obesity is a significant risk factor for cardiovascular disease (CVD), which refers to a group of conditions affecting the heart and blood vessels. Excess body weight, particularly central obesity (excess fat around the abdomen), contributes to various mechanisms that increase the risk of CVD.
OA of the Knee
Osteoarthritis (OA) of the knee is a degenerative joint disease that affects the knee joint. It occurs when the cartilage, which acts as a cushion between the bones, gradually wears away, leading to friction and damage to the joint.
GERD
GERD, which stands for gastroesophageal reflux disease, is a chronic digestive disorder characterized by the backflow of stomach acid into the esophagus. It occurs when the lower esophageal sphincter (LES), a muscular ring that separates the stomach from the esophagus, becomes weak or relaxes inappropriately.
