Physical Activity Pathway for Patients With Osteoarthritis in Primary Care (OA-PCP) (R33) — OA-PCP  

Osteoarthritis Clinical Trial

Official title: Physical Activity Pathway for Patients With Osteoarthritis in Primary Care

Status Completed

Clinical Trial Summary

The purpose of this study is to test an osteoarthritis (OA) primary care Physical activity Care Pathway (OA-PCP), a scalable intervention that includes: 1) a practical process for physical inactivity screening in primary care, 2) a brief, tailored physical activity (PA) counseling intervention via telephone, 3) connection of patients with community programs and other resources to support PA, and 4) follow-up with patients to deliver additional appropriate counseling and referrals to PA resources. This program will be compared to another program that provides education on a variety of topics important to understanding osteoarthritis (OA) and its care.

Clinical Trial Description

This study will be a randomized pilot trial of the refined OA-PCP among n=240 patients age ≥65 with hip and/or knee OA recruited from primary care clinics. Participants will be assigned equally to either the OA-PCP or an attention control group. Participants will complete assessments at baseline, and 6-month and 12-month follow-up. Primary endpoint of the trial will be objectively assessed PA, measured via accelerometer and secondary endpoint will be self-reported pain and function. ;
