About this study

Official title: Lateral Wedge Insole With Subtalar Strapping for Knee Osteoarthritis: a Randomized Clinical Trial

This is a clinical study to evaluate the efficacy of a lateral wedge insole with subtalar strapping in knee osteoarthritis treatment.

Read the detailed description

The objective of this study is to evaluate the efficacy of a lateral wedge insole with subtalar strapping in knee osteoarthritis treatment. Fifty-eight patients with knee osteoarthritis were randomized to use either a lateral wedge or a neutral insole. VAS, Western Ontario and McMaster Universities Osteoarthritis Index (WOMAC) and Lequesne questionnaires were applied at baseline, and weeks two, eight, and 24.

    Measured: 24 weeks

Secondary outcomes (1)
  1. Ankle pain

    Number of patients that reported ankle pain related to the use of the insole as a measure of tolerability

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A study testing Lateral wedge insole with subtalar strapping in people with Osteoarthritis, run by University of Sao Paulo General Hospital at 1 site in Brazil.

The full registered description is in the About this study section and the official record.

Who may be eligible to take part?

The sponsor lists 8 inclusion and 3 exclusion criteria. Eligibility is decided by the study team after screening, so read the full criteria and contact a listed site.

Is this clinical trial currently recruiting?

The record says: finished, as of the sponsor's last update on 11 Sep 2013. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

Where is the study taking place?

The record lists 1 site in Brazil. Whether a site is taking part right now should be confirmed with that site. See every site.

What are the possible benefits and risks?

They depend on the study and the treatment, and no study can promise a benefit. Some participants in this study may receive a placebo. The study team explains the known risks during informed consent, before anyone joins; the record itself does not list them.

Are results available for this study?

The study is completed, but results are not available in the source record. That does not mean the treatment did or did not work.

How can a doctor refer a patient or contact the research team?

The record lists no contact. The official record names the sponsor, who can be asked directly. AzTrials does not enrol participants or take referrals.

What does the primary outcome measure?

Symptoms (time frame: 24 weeks). It is what the study was designed to measure, not a finding.

Where can I read the original study information?
Does a listing mean the treatment is approved or proven to work?

No. A listing means the study is registered. It does not show that the treatment is safe, works, or is approved by a regulator.

How often is this information updated?

AzTrials copies changed records from ClinicalTrials.gov every night and reloads the whole registry every week. The sponsor last updated this record on 11 Sep 2013.
