PEMF Therapy for Postoperative Pain After Orthopedic Surgery
Recruiting0 awards5 criteria
Redwood City, California
This trial is testing whether PEMF therapy can help reduce pain in patients who have had shoulder or knee surgery. PEMF therapy uses electromagnetic waves to interact with the body's cells, which may reduce pain and speed up healing. The study will measure pain levels, medication use, and physical function after surgery. PEMF therapy has been evaluated as a therapeutic strategy for pain management in several clinical scenarios, showing positive efficacy and safety profiles.

Bicruciate-retaining vs Posterior-stabilized Knee Replacement for Osteoarthritis
Recruiting1 award
Montréal, Quebec
This trial will compare the clinical and radiological results of patients undergoing total knee replacement surgery according to the type of prosthesis used. It is anticipated that the bicruciate-retaining prosthesis will result in better function of the operated knee than the posterior-stabilized prosthesis.

Recruiting2 awardsPhase 4
Chicago, Illinois
This trial is testing if duloxetine can help reduce pain and opioid use in patients after knee replacement surgery. It focuses on patients who often have severe pain or heightened pain sensitivity. Duloxetine may work by altering brain chemicals to lessen pain signals. Duloxetine has been shown to have significant pain-relieving effects for managing chronic pain associated with conditions like fibromyalgia and diabetic peripheral neuropathic pain.

Frequently Asked Questions
Do I need insurance to participate in a trial?
Almost all clinical trials will cover the cost of the 'trial drug' — so no insurance is required for this. For trials where this trial drug is given alongside an already-approved medication, there may be a cost (which your insurance would normally cover).
Is there any support for travel costs?
Many of the teams running clinical trials will cover the cost of transportation to-and-from their care center.
Will I know what medication I am taking?
This depends on the specific study. If you're worried about receiving a placebo, you can actively filter out these trials using our search.
How long do clinical trials last?
Some trials will only require a single visit, while others will continue until your disease returns. It's fairly common for a trial to last somewhere between 1 and 6 months.
Do you verify all the trials on your website?
All of the trials listed on Power have been formally registered with the US Food and Drug Administration. Beyond this, some trials on Power have been formally 'verified' if the team behind the trial has completed an additional level of verification with our team.
How quickly will I hear back from a clinical trial?
Sadly, this response time can take anywhere from 6 hours to 2 weeks. We're working hard to speed up how quickly you hear back — in general, verified trials respond to patients within a few days.
