What is being measured

The primary outcome is the main question the study is designed to answer.

  1. Pain score on visual analogic scale

    Pain was self-evaluated by patient on visual analogic scale (VAS: 0-100, 0 = no pain at all; 100 = worst pain appendix 1). Such pain is widely used and validated in the literature for the evaluation of knee osteoarthritis treatment outcome.

    Measured: Baseline

  2. Pain score on visual analogic scale

    Pain was self-evaluated by patient on visual analogic scale (VAS: 0-100, 0 = no pain at all; 100 = worst pain appendix 1). Such pain is widely used and validated in the literature for the evaluation of knee osteoarthritis treatment outcome.

    Measured: Baseline + 5 weeks

Secondary outcomes (2)
  1. Evaluation of the functional capacities: KOOS questionnaire.

    Measured: baseline

  2. Evaluation of the functional capacities: KOOS questionnaire.

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A study testing PROTEOR Internal unicompartmental knee brace in people with Knee Osteoarthritis, run by Centre Hospitalier Universitaire Dijon at 1 site in France.

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 8 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 24 Jun 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 France. 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. 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?

Pain score on visual analogic scale (time frame: Baseline). The study lists 2 primary outcomes in all. 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 24 Jun 2013.
