About this study

The study is a prospective observational study designed to determine the effects of central sensitization on pain and functional status of patients before and after total knee joint replacement surgery.

The aim of this study is to evaluate whether there is a difference in preoperative and postoperative pain and functional status between patients with and without central sensitization with knee osteoarthritis.

When the literature was reviewed, it was seen that central sensitization was one of the important mechanisms that caused pain in knee osteoarthritis, and it was determined that this had negative consequences in terms of postoperative pain and improvement in functional status. In this study, the effect of central sensitization on the results will be investigated by evaluating pain and functional status before and after knee total joint prosthesis in two groups of knee osteoarthritis patients, with and without central sensitization, and by comparing the groups.

What is being measured

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

  1. Knee pain

    Knee pain will be assessed with numerical rating scale, where the patients rate their pain on a scale from 0 to 10 where 0 means no pain and 10 means the most severe pain they can imagine.

    Measured: Preoperative, 1 month postoperative and 3 months postoperative

Secondary outcomes (1)
  1. Functional Status

    Functionality of the patients will be assessed with WOMAC (Western Ontario and McMaster Universities Osteoarthritis Index). Responses are typically rated on a scale from 0 (none) to 4 (extreme). Higher scores indicate greater impairment.

    Measured: Preoperative, 1 month postoperative and 3 months postoperative

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

An observational study of Central Sensitisation and Postoperative Pain, run by Istanbul University.

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 3 inclusion and 5 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: status not confirmed, as of the sponsor's last update on 15 Aug 2024. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

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?

Results are not available in the source record.

How can a doctor refer a patient or contact the research team?

Contact Fatma Merih Akpınar (+905333558843, merihcaliskan@gmail.com), or a site near the patient. AzTrials does not enrol participants or take referrals.

What does the primary outcome measure?

Knee pain (time frame: Preoperative, 1 month postoperative and 3 months postoperative). 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 15 Aug 2024.
