About this study
Official title: Efficacy of Mesotherapy on Pain and Function in Patients With Knee Osteoarthritis
Purpose: The investigators aimed to determine whether this treatment is effective on pain and function by applying mesotherapy treatment to patients followed up with gonarthrosis.
Methods: This study is a prospective randomized controlled study. The research will be carried out between November 2021 and April 2022 in Pamukkale University Physical Medicine and Rehabilitation (PMR) After the approval of the Pamukkale University Faculty of Medicine Ethics Committee, 38 patients diagnosed with gonarthrosis will be divided into 2 groups using a table of random numbers. The first group will be the group that only applied quadriceps strength exercise and Mesotherapy will be applied to the second group along with quadriceps strength exercise.
The data will be analyzed with the SPSS package program. Continuous variables will be given as mean ± standard deviation and categorical variables as numbers and percentages. parametric test Test of Significance of Difference Between Two Means in comparison of independent group differences when assumptions are met; When parametric test assumptions are not met, the Mann-Whitney U test will be used to compare independent group differences. In addition, the relationships between continuous variables will be examined with Spearman or Pearson correlation analyzes and the differences between categorical variables will be examined with Chi-square analysis. Since there is no similar study conducted and there is no possibility to conduct a pilot study, assuming that a moderate effect size will be obtained as a result of the power analysis made in the direction of the hypothetical expectations, it was taken to obtain 80% power with 95% confidence, and it was calculated that at least 38 people should be included in the study.

Detailed Description:
This study is a prospective randomized controlled study. The research will be carried out in Pamukkale University Physical Medicine and Rehabilitation (PMR) After the approval of the Pamukkale University Faculty of Medicine Ethics Committee,38 participants will be admitted to Pamukkale University PMR clinic will be included in this study. Patients will be informed about the content, purpose, and application of the study and their written consent will be obtained.
Treatment Protocol 38 patients diagnosed with gonarthrosis will be divided into 2 groups using random numbers table. The first group will be the group that only applied quadriceps strength exercise and Mesotherapy will be applied to the second group along with quadriceps strength exercise.
Group 1: Exercise Group (Quadriceps Strength)10 repetition in three-set, 5 times a week for three weeks Group 2: Mesotherapy (MT) once a week for three weeks. Patients will receive 2 ml of 2% lidocaine, 2 ml of pentoxifylline will be used. Sterile and disposable (0.26mm × 4mm and 0.3mm × 13 mm, Terumo) will be used for mesotherapy. and injection techniques (IDP=2-4 MM) AND (IDS=1-2 MM) will be used.
Statistics The data will be analyzed with the SPSS package program. Continuous variables will be given as mean ± standard deviation and categorical variables as numbers and percentages. parametric test
Test of Significance of Difference Between Two Means in comparison of independent group differences when assumptions are met; When parametric test assumptions are not met, the Mann-Whitney U test will be used to compare independent group differences.

What is being measured
The primary outcome is the main question the study is designed to answer.
VAS
Visual analogue scale (Total scale score can be ranged between 0 to 10. 0: no pain, 10:worst pain)
Measured: 3 weeks
Secondary outcomes (1)
WOMAC scale
Western Ontario and McMaster Universities Osteoarthritis Index (Test Questions are scored on a scale of 0-4 which correpond to: none(0), mild(1), moderate (2), severe (3) extreme (4). The scores for each subscales are summed up with a possible score 0-20 for pain, 0-8 for stiffness, 0-68 for physical function.)
Measured: 3 weeks

Questions about this trial
What is this clinical trial studying?
A study testing Mesotherapy in people with Knee Osteoarthritis, run by Pamukkale University at 1 site in Turkey (Türkiye).
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 8 Nov 2023. 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 Turkey (Türkiye). 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?
VAS (time frame: 3 weeks). 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 NCT05190588, which also lists 5 linked publications.
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 8 Nov 2023.
