Key requirements
Who can take part, as listed by the sponsor. Only the study team can confirm whether you are eligible, so take this list to your doctor.
- Ages 50 to 70 years
- All sexes
- No healthy volunteers
- Adult, Older adult
Who may be able to join
- Any gender and age from 50 to 70 years
- Symptomatic osteoarthritis (OA) of the knee with mild joint discomfort for at least 6 months prior to enrollment, following ACR criteria with history and physical examination (1). Subjects diagnosed with bilateral knee OA will be asked to specify the most affected knee at baseline, and this knee will be evaluated throughout the study period.
- Available confirmatory X-ray (performed within the previous 6 months) diagnosis (Kellgren/Lawrence score 2) at the evaluated knee joint (2).
- Subjects experienced pain for at least 15 of the 30 days prior to the start of the study.
Who cannot join
- Subjects who have any inflammatory arthritic condition (different from the OA of the knee), fibromyalgia, multiple sclerosis or autoimmune disorder.
- Treatment with oral corticosteroids within 4 weeks before screening.
- Intra-articular injections of HA or corticosteroids in the target joint within 3 months before screening.
- Treatment with anti-inflammatory or chondroprotective drugs (chondroitin sulfate, glucosamine, methylsulfonylmethane, HA, diacerein) 2 weeks before the selection.
- HA-containing nutritional supplements or cosmetics during the month before the study.
- Previous surgical treatment of knee joint(s) or its necessity; complication(s) necessary for hospitalization and surgical treatment.
Show all 12Show fewer
- Significant injury to the target joint within the past 6 months prior to screening (identified from medical history).
- Subjects following an energy-restricted diet for weight loss.
- Pregnant women, nursing mothers, or women (only if childbearing potential) not using adequate methods of contraception.
- Subjects with cardiovascular, hepatic, renal, respiratory, or hematologic illness, or other medical or psychiatric condition that, in the opinion of the investigator, would compromise participation or be likely to lead to hospitalization during the course of the study.
- Participation in an interventional clinical study in the previous 30 days.
- Presence of any clinically significant medical condition judged by the investigator to preclude the patient's inclusion in the study.

About this study
Official title: Pilot, Open Non-controled Trial to Assess the Feasibility of Implementing Objective Parameters as Primary Endpoints in a Clinical Trial With Patients Affected by Knee Osteoarthritis
Pilot, open non-controlled trial to assess the feasibility of implementing objective parameters as primary endpoints in a clinical trial with patients affected by knee osteoarthritis.
Read the detailed description
- to assess the feasibility of implementing ultrasonography and Range of motion (ROM) as objective measurements to correlate the improvement of the knee mobility with the pain reduction of the affected knee in the patients assuming nutraceutical containing HA.
The secondary objectives of the trial are:
- to assess the feasibility of implementing Actigraphy as objective measurements to correlate the improvement of the knee mobility with the pain reduction (optional).
- to evaluate the enrollment range in one month.
The explorative objectives of the trial are:
- Preliminary data on efficacy of the tested product
- Conditions
- Knee Osteoarthritis
- Being tested
- patients assuming nutraceutical containing HA
- Medical subject headings
- Osteoarthritis, Knee
What participants receive
What participants receive. In a randomised study each person is assigned to one group by chance.
patients assuming nutraceutical containing HADietary supplement
pain reduction of the affected knee in the patients assuming nutraceutical containing HA
| Study group | Role | What they receive |
|---|---|---|
| nutraceutical containing HA | Other | pain reduction of the affected knee in the patients assuming nutraceutical containing HA Receives: Dietary Supplement: patients assuming nutraceutical containing HA |
What is being measured
The primary outcome is the main question the study is designed to answer.
synovial effusion reduction
Correlation between reduction in VAS (at rest) and ultrasonography parameters
Measured: week 4 and 8
Secondary outcomes (1)
pain reduction
Correlation between reduction in VAS (at rest; on moving; on pressing) and Actigraphy parameters.
Measured: week 4 and 8
