About this study

Official title: Use of Hyaluronic Acid Injection After Arthroscopic Lateral Release in Patellar Compression Syndrome With Degenerative Cartilage Changes: Randomized Control Trial

Ninety patients are involved in this study, who underwent arthroscopic lateral patellar release for lateral patellar compression syndrome and they had patellofemoral degenerative lesion, which diagnoses by MRI preoperatively and proved by arthroscopic examination to be early stages of degenerative changes with no loss of articular surface. The patients were divided in to two groups (A and B). Group A (45 patients) were treated by local injection of Hyaluronic acid intraarticularly, and Group B (45 patients) were no injection intraarticular.

Read the detailed description

This study was done by one orthopedic surgeon in two hospitals. Ninety patients are involved in this study, who underwent arthroscopic lateral patellar release for lateral patellar compression syndrome and they had patellofemoral degenerative lesion, which diagnoses by MRI preoperatively and proved by arthroscopic examination to be early stages of degenerative changes with no loss of articular surface. The patients were divided in to two matched groups (A and B) regarding the age and gender; Group A (45 patients) were treated by local injection of Hyaluronic acid intraarticularly, 2 weeks after arthroscopy and were followed by VAS of knee pain for one year at (3) months, (6) months and (12) months, and Group B (45 patients) were no injection intraarticular. The study started on June (2017) and ends on March (2020). injection of Hyaluronic acid was used and followed in the same way. All patients presented with anterior knee pain which failed to respond to conservative treatment for 6 weeks or recurrent of symptoms after stopping of conservative treatment which involved changes of life style and NSAID. MRI done for all patients before operation.

What is being measured

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

  1. Visual analogue score of knee pain

    Visual analogue score of knee pain describe knee pain from degree 0 where no pain to degree 10 where is severe pain

    Measured: The VAS for knee pain was measured 24 months after operation

  2. Kujala score

    Kujala score questionnaire up to 100

    Measured: Preoperative assessment and 2 year postoperatively

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A study testing Hyaluronic acid injection and No injection of Hyaluronic acid in people with Anterior Knee Pain Syndrome, run by Hawler Medical University at 1 site in Iraq.

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 4 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 Jun 2020. 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 Iraq. 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?

Visual analogue score of knee pain (time frame: The VAS for knee pain was measured 24 months after operation). 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?

On the ClinicalTrials.gov record for NCT04134611, 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?
