Knee Osteoarthritis Clinical Trial
Official title:
Exploring the Value of the Veterans Affairs (VA) and Department of Defense (DoD) Clinical Practice Guidelines for Non-Surgical Management of Knee Osteoarthritis in the Military Health System
This study will compare two different treatment approaches for the management of knee osteoarthritis (OA). All subjects will receive a standardized approach consistent with the core set of recommendation from the Department of Defense (DoD) and Veterans Administration (VA) Clinical Practice Guidelines for Non-Surgical Management of Knee Osteoarthritis. Follow-up will occur over a 1 year period.

Type | Measure | Description | Time frame | Safety issue |
---|---|---|---|---|
Other | Healthcare Utilization from Electronic Medical Records (EMR) | Healthcare utilization will be extracted for all participants for the 2 year period following . enrollment. Drug prescriptions, medical procedures, and specialty referrals will be identified. | 2 years | |
Other | Credibility Expectancy Questionnaire (CEQ) | The CEQ, a 6-item self-report evaluating treatment credibility and expectations for improvement, will be assessed at baseline after treatment group assignment is revealed to provide descriptive information about participants' perceptions of their treatment assignment and optimism for improvement. The CEQ may be used as a covariate if perceptions differ meaningfully between groups as participants' initial perceptions of treatment credibility can impact outcomes. | 2 years | |
Other | Marcus 5 Item Exercise Self Efficacy Scale (MESE) | The MESE is a 5 item self report measure of exercise self efficacy with good validity and reliability. Higher scores reflect higher self efficacy. Participants rate their confidence in the ability to participate in regular exercise when faced with barriers and obstacles such as fatigue, vacation or poor weather. | 2 years | |
Primary | Patient Reported Outcomes Measurement Information Systems (PROMIS) - Physical Function | The PROMIS is managed and endorsed by the NIH, and will be based on the Computer Adaptive Test, which does not have a set number of questions but instead "adapts" the test and number of questions based on prior answers it receives. | 2 years | |
Secondary | Western Ontario & McMaster Universities Osteoarthritis Index (WOMAC) | The WOMAC Osteoarthritis score, which consists of 24 questions, and 3 different subscales: pain (Q1-5), stiffness (Q6-7) and physical function (Q8-24) | 2 years | |
Secondary | Patient Acceptable Symptom Scale (PASS) | The PASS is a global, dichotomized single-item score indicating if patients are satisfied with the current state of their symptoms. This tool has been validated in patients with OA. The PASS asks the patient; "Taking into account all the activities you have during your daily life, your level of pain, and also your functional impairment, do you consider that your current state is satisfactory?" Response options are "yes" or "no". | 2 years | |
Secondary | EuroQoL (EQ-5D) | The EQ-5D is a generic quality of life questionnaire that will assess quality of life on a scale that can be referenced to other disease conditions. The EQ-5D covers 5 domains: mobility, self-care, usual activities, pain/discomfort, and anxiety/depression. Each domain has 3 response categories: level 1, "no problems"; level 2, "some problems"; and level 3, "inability or extreme problems." Responses are combined to give a 5-digit descriptive health state classification (e.g., 11222). The EQ-5D yields a total of 243 possible health states. Valuations for each health state are available. The EQ-5D is commonly used in economic evaluation of interventions and cost-effectiveness analysis. | 2 years |
