Clinical Trial Summary

1.

2. To evaluate fidelity of delivery of individual components of this complex package of care for knee pain

3. To assess the acceptability of the intervention by exploring participant satisfaction with nurse-led complex package of care of knee pain.

4. To explore and resolve possible challenges to delivery of individual components within a complex package

5. To examine the feasibility of a definitive cohort randomised controlled trial of nurse-led care versus usual care of knee pain in terms of recruitment rate, drop-out rate, reasons for dropping out and completeness of outcome data

6. To explore whether such a trial should provide analgesia before non-pharmacologic interventions or vice versa
