About this study

Official title: Effect of Clinic-based and Tele-monitored Home-based Intervention on Pain Intensity, Function and Quality of Life in Patients With Knee Osteoarthritis

This study assessed and compared the effects of clinic-based and telemonitored home-based interventions on pain intensity, function and quality of life in patients with knee osteoarthritis (KOA). This was with a view to providing evidence for the validation of the effectiveness of home-based intervention on knee osteoarthritis

Read the detailed description

This study was a quasi-experiment involving forty two patients with KOA. They were randomly allocated into two groups equally; clinic-based group (CBG) and telemonitored home-based group (THG).

The CBG received exercises to strengthen the quadriceps and hamstring muscles using thera band while THG received same treatment regimen but at home and were monitored on phone by the researcher. The subjects performed four sets of eight repetitions for each of the exercises three days in a week for eight weeks. Pain intensity was assessed with Quadruple Visual Analog Scale, function was assessed with the Western Ontario and McMaster University Osteoarthritis Index and quality of life was assessed with WHO Quality of Life-BREF at pretreatment, 3rd week, 6th week and 8th week of intervention. Data was analysed with descriptive and inferential statistics. Repeated measure ANOVA was used to compare the mean value of variables within the group and between the groups. Alpha level was set at 0.05.

What participants receive

What participants receive. In a randomised study each person is assigned to one group by chance.

  • Clinical Based Isometric contraction strengthening Exercises using Thera bandOther

    Also called Clinical Based intervention

    Patients did isometric contraction exercises using thera band in the clinic physically. They did not need to be monitored by telephone

  • Telemonitored Home based Isometric Cntraction strengthening exercises using Thera bandOther

    Also called Telemonitores Home based Intervention

    Patients did isometric contraction exercises using thera band at home, they were monitored by telephone three times in a week for 8 weeks

Study groupRoleWhat they receive
Clinical Based Isometric contraction strengthening Exercises using Thera band" CBGExperimentalParticipants underwent strengthening exercises to the quadriceps and harmstring using thera band at the hospital. The band was attached around the ankle for strengthening of the quadriceps and hamstring muscles using isometric muscle contraction using a standard protocol. The patient performed four sets of eight repetitions for each of the exercises.

What is being measured

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

  1. Quadruple Visual Analog Scale (QVAS)

    This was used to assess pain intensity experienced by the participants at the time of assessment, typical or average pain, pain at its best, and pain at its worst, respectively (Von Korff et al, 1993).It consists of 4 items with each item numbered 0 to 10. With 0 indicating no pain and 10 is worst possible pain. A Yoruba translated version of the QVAS was used for participants who had preference for the Yoruba language

    Measured: 1-8 weeks

Secondary outcomes (1)
  1. The Western Ontario and McMaster Universities Osteoarthritis Index

    WOMAC is a self-administered health-status instrument for patients with KOA, consists of 24 items within three subscales: pain (5 items), stiffness (2 items) and physical function (17 items). The Yoruba version of WOMAC translated was used for participants who do not understand English. Minimum is 0 and maxmum is 4

    Measured: 1-8 weeks

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?

Quadruple Visual Analog Scale (QVAS) (time frame: 1-8 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 NCT05832866, which also lists 3 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?
