Clinical Trial Summary

Osteoarthritis (OA) is the most common degenerative joint disease with pathological structural and functional disorders all over the world. 27 million patients diagnosed with osteoarthritis in the USA alone.(1-2)

Description:

Osteoarthritis (OA) is the most common degenerative joint disease with pathological structural and functional disorders all over the world. 27 million patients diagnosed with osteoarthritis in the USA alone.(1-2) The primary risk factor for OA is age however ; It is a multifactorial disease, including injury and genetic mutations.(3-6) The knee is the most commonly involved joint in OA. In the United States, about 14 million people is presumed to have symptomatic knee osteoarthritis. Typical OA manifests as joint pain which is exacerbated by activity and relieved by rest. In advanced stage, pain at rest and at night and morning stiffness lasting no more than 20-30 minutes can be seen. (2) The diagnosis is based on a detailed anamnesis, a complete physical examination, and diagnostic imaging. Imaging findings include joint space narrowing, osteophytes, pseudocyst and subchondral sclerosis in the subchondral bone.(9) Pharmacological and non-pharmacological treatments are applied. Exercise, conventional physical therapy ( hotpack, therapeutic ultrasound, tens) and kinesioband are some of the non-pharmacological treatments.

Outcome

Type	Measure	Description	Time frame	Safety issue
Primary	tampa scala of kinesiophobia	It is developed to measure the fear of movement and reinjury. The scale will be measured at the beginning of the study and at the end of the fourth week, which corresponds to the end of the treatment	four weeks
Primary	thickness of the quadriceps muscle	Muscle hypertrophy is expected with regular isometric and isotonic exercises. In order to investigate the muscle effect of the treatments, the thickness of the quadriceps muscle will be measured with an ultrasound device. Measurement will be made at the beginning of the study and at the end of the fourth week, which corresponds to the end of the treatment	four weeks
Secondary	western ontario and mcmaster universities osteoarthritis index	The Western Ontario and McMaster Universities Osteoarthritis Index (WOMAC) is a widely used, to evaluate the condition of patients with osteoarthritis of the knee and hip, including pain, stiffness, and physical functioning of the joints. Measurement will be made at the beginning of the study and at the end of the fourth week, which corresponds to the end of the treatment	four weeks
Secondary	visual analog scale	The visual analog scale (VAS) is used to measure pain. The patient indicates where his/her condition is appropriate above a 100 mm line. For example, for pain, there is no pain at one end and very severe pain at the other end, and the patient marks his/her condition on this line. Measurement will be made at the beginning of the study and at the end of the fourth week, which corresponds to the end of the treatment	four weeks
