About this study

Official title: Additional Therapeutic Effects of Dextrose to Hyaluronic Acid on Knee Osteoarthritis: a Double Blind, Randomized-controlled Clinical Trial

Using double blind, randomized controlled design to study the immediate, short-term and intermediate-term therapeutic effects of ultrasound guided hyaluronic acid injection and hyaluronic acid combined dextrose injection to patients with knee osteoarthritis.

Read the detailed description

A total of 106 patients will be collected. The participants will be randomized into two groups, including hyaluronic acid group and hyaluronic acid combined dextrose group.

The hyaluronic acid group will receive 3 times of hyaluronic acid injection per week in three weeks; the hyaluronic acid combined dextrose group will receive 3 times of hyaluronic acid combined dextrose injection per week in three weeks.

The pain, physical activity, and functional performance will be evaluated.

All the evaluations will be re-evaluated at one week after injection, one month after injection, three months after injection, and six month after injection.

Subjects and the evaluator will be both blinded to the group's classification during the whole course of study.

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 4 study testing dextrose and hyaluronic acid in people with Physical Activity and Functional Disturbance, run by Taipei Medical University at 1 site in Taiwan.

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 1 inclusion and 1 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: status not confirmed, as of the sponsor's last update on 3 Aug 2017. 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 Taiwan. 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.

What does this phase mean?

Phase 4 studies take place after a treatment is approved, to learn more about its long-term benefits and risks in everyday use.

Not every study follows the same path, and some studies (observational studies, device studies) have no phase.

Are results available for this study?

Results are not available in the source record.

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

Contact Ru-Lan Hsieh (228332211, M001052@ms.skh.org.tw), or a site near the patient. AzTrials does not enrol participants or take referrals.

What does the primary outcome measure?

physical activity-on level walking time (time frame: changes from baseline to at one week after injection, one month after injection, three months after injection, and six month after injection). The study lists 3 primary outcomes in all. It is what the study was designed to measure, not a finding.

Where can I read the original study information?

On the ClinicalTrials.gov record for NCT03238183, which also lists 1 linked publication.

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 3 Aug 2017.
