What is being measured

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

  1. Change in self-reported pain intensity

    Measure of knee pain intensity with the Visual Analogue Scale (0-100mm), with higher scores reflecting higher perceived pain intensity

    Measured: Pre-exercise (pre), immediate post exercise (post), and 10 min after exercise (post 10min)

  2. Change in pressure pain thresholds

    Measured with a mechanical algometer (Wagner Instruments, Greenwich, CT, USA) in three sites (vastus medialis of the affected limb, vastus medialis of the unaffected limb, and distal to the non-dominant arm lateral epicondyle)

    Measured: Pre-exercise (pre), immediate post exercise (post), and 10 min after exercise (post 10min)

Secondary outcomes (4)
  1. WOMAC questionaire

    A self-administered questionnaire for patients with hip or knee osteoarthritis. contain 24 items grouped into three dimensions: pain (5 items), stiffness (2 items) and physical function (17 items). Higher scores on the WOMAC indicate worse pain, stiffness, and functional limitations.

    Measured: pre-exercise

  2. Tampa Scale of Kinesiophobia (TSK 11)

    Measure fear of movement and its score ranges from 11-44 with higher scores indicate an increasing degree of kinesiophobia

    Measured: pre-exercise

  3. Chronic Pain Self-Efficacy Scale

    Measures three domains of pain self-efficacy: pain management, physical functioning, and coping with symptoms management, physical functioning, and coping with symptomsmanagement, physical functioning, and coping with symptoms. A higher score suggests higher self-efficacy

    Measured: pre-exercise

  4. Pain Catastrophizing Scale

    People are asked to indicate the degree to which they have certain thoughts and feelings when they are experiencing pain using the 0 (not at all) to 4 (all the time) scale. A total score is yielded (ranging from 0-52), along with three subscale scores assessing rumination, magnification and helplessness, with higher scores reflecting worse condition.

    Measured: pre-exercise

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A study testing Resistance Exercise in people with Knee Osteoarthritis, run by University of Valencia at 1 site in Spain.

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: finished, as of the sponsor's last update on 30 Oct 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 Spain. 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?

Change in self-reported pain intensity (time frame: Pre-exercise (pre), immediate post exercise (post), and 10 min after exercise (post 10min)). 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?
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 30 Oct 2024.
