Trial summary

Background: The effect of exercise on knee osteoarthritis (OA) is often evaluated with patient-reported scales. The Minimal Clinically Important Difference (MCID) values of these scales are needed to understand the change in patients after treatment and to manage the treatment. Read more about this study

About this study

Official title: Estimation of The Minimal Clinically Important Difference (MCID) for Commonly Used Outcome Measures in Patients With Knee Osteoarthritis

Background: The effect of exercise on knee osteoarthritis (OA) is often evaluated with patient-reported scales. The Minimal Clinically Important Difference (MCID) values of these scales are needed to understand the change in patients after treatment and to manage the treatment.

It is also one of the most important data in calculating the MCID sample size. Aim: In the literature, MCID studies for exercise applied to knee OA are limited especially for those who did not undergo surgery. Thus new studies are needed.

Method: 100 patients who were diagnosed with knee osteoarthritis will be recruited for the study. Participants will be included in an exercise program tailored to their needs for 15 sessions. WOMAC, OKS, LEFS scales will be used also knee range of motion will be assessed in the baseline, after treatments and in the 4th month follow up.

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A study testing Exercise in people with Knee Osteoarthritis, run by Istanbul 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 6 inclusion and 6 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 9 Jan 2024. 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?

WOMAC (time frame: Baseline, after 15 session and 4 months follow up). The study lists 4 primary outcomes in all. It is what the study was designed to measure, not a finding.

Where can I read the original study information?
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 9 Jan 2024.
