Clinical Trial Summary

This clinical study evaluates the effect of taking a hydrolyzed collagen-based supplement on pain, function and quality of life in a moderately physically active population. Non-pathological knee pain is a common occurrence in many healthy people and can limit the quality of life. Therefore, the resolution of this problem can bring many benefits in terms of quality of life.

Outcome

Type	Measure	Description	Time frame	Safety issue
Primary	Intensity of knee pain	It will be measured using a 100 mm long horizontal visual analogue scale (VAS) on which the participant must mark the pain he/she feels with 0 being "none" and 100 being "the most intense pain he/she can imagine". Once the level of pain is marked on the horizontal line, the length is measured from 0 in millimetres with a millimetre ruler.; The results will be evaluated according to three levels of pain based on the marked values: <40 mm: Values below 40 mm indicate mild or mild moderate pain; 40-60 mm: If the measurement is between 40 and 60 mm, the pain is considered moderate to moderate-severe; >60 mm: If the values are greater than 60 mm, the pain is considered severe to unbearable.	Throughout study completion, an average of 12 weeks
Secondary	Physical activity data	Intensity by applying the IPAQ questionnaire and type (running, cycling, climbing, tennis, football...).	The following data will be recorded during the baseline visit
Secondary	Demographic data	Age, sex, employment status (active, unemployed, retired, student ....).	The following data will be recorded during the baseline visit
Secondary	Frequency of alcohol and tobacco consumption	Alcohol consumption and tobacco consumption (grams of alcohol and cigarettes per week)	The following data will be recorded during the baseline visit
Secondary	Weight	It will be measured by means of a precision balance (kg)	The following data will be recorded during the baseline visit
Secondary	Height	It will be measured by means of a stadiometer (cm)	The following data will be recorded during the baseline visit
Secondary	Body mass index	It will be calculated by the following formula kg/m2	The following data will be recorded during the baseline visit
Secondary	Clinical data	Symptoms are unilateral (Yes/No), Other joint problems (back, hand, neck, feet, shoulder, hip)	The following data will be recorded during the baseline visit
Secondary	Current analgesic medication:	Medication that has been taken at least once a week during the previous month. The name or active ingredient of the drug, dosage and frequency should be indicated.	The following data will be recorded during the baseline visit
Secondary	Number of participants taking medication	During the study, both the increase or reduction of chronic analgesic medication taken by the participant for pain management and the intake of new rescue medication, which is medication taken occasionally for symptomatic or symptom management, treatment of crises or exacerbations, will be recorded.	Throughout study completion, an average of 12 weeks
Secondary	Knee range of motion (ROM)	To assess ROM, the participant will be placed in a prone position on a stretcher. An electrogoniometer will then be placed on the leg to be assessed (affected leg) and the participant will be asked to voluntarily flex as far as possible or until pain is felt.	Throughout study completion, an average of 12 weeks
Secondary	WOMAC scale to measure pain, functional capacity and impact on quality of life	The WOMAC (Western Ontario and McMaster Universities Osteoarthritis Index) questionnaire is used to assess participants' perceived clinical changes in knee pain, stiffness and function.	Throughout study completion, an average of 12 weeks
Secondary	Quality of Life Questionnaire SF-36	The SF-36 health questionnaire is composed of 36 items that aim to collect all relevant aspects to characterize the health of an individual.	Throughout study completion, an average of 12 weeks
Secondary	KOOS Questionnaire for Knee Assessment	The Knee Injury and Osteoarthritis Outcome Score (KOOS) has been developed as an instrument to assess the patient's opinion of their knee and associated problems. The scores for each dimension are calculated by summing the responses to the relevant questions. The resulting scores are transformed into a scale from 0 to 100.	Throughout study completion, an average of 12 weeks
Secondary	Sleep quality using the Pittsburgh test	Sleep quality is assessed using the Pittsburgh sleep quality questionnaire. This questionnaire has 19 self-assessment questions and 5 questions addressed to the roommate or bed partner, with only the first 19 being used to obtain the overall score.	Throughout study completion, an average of 12 weeks
