Clinical Trial Summary

The objects of this research are to investigate the ability of the motor learning and test the possible differences between younger and older healthy human, and between non-pain and acute experimental pain and chronic clinical pain conditions.


Description:

The project consists of four experimental studies. In the first experiment, younger and older healthy human subjects are involved in a short-term neuromuscular training on the accuracy and precision of knee movement to investigate the possible age effect of the motor learning. The second experiment focuses on the experimental pain on the learning effect of the younger subjects. The third experiment will investigate a group of knee osteoarthritis patients to show the influence of chronic pain on the motor training compared with age-, gender-matched pain free subjects. 3D camera tracking system will be used to record the knee movements at the baseline and after 6-day motor task training. The variability in amplitude of the values of knee movements was transformed to percentage in relation to the target position (accuracy) or to the mean position (precision). The results of the study will contribute to both basic and clinical understanding of the mechanisms related to knee movement control and influences of varies painful conditions.

Outcome

Type Measure Description Time frame Safety issue
Primary knee movement assessment There are two sessions in total, seperated by a 6 days motor training. Using 3D camera to calculate the accuracy and precision of knee movements at 30, 45, 60 degree respectively both with and without visual feedback (baseline), before and after motor training, also before and after injection. Change from baseline, up to 7 days after the first session
Secondary Assessment of pain Immediately following the injection, participants will be instructed to rate the pain intensity for ten minutes using a digital visual analogue scale (VAS; eVas Software: Aalborg University, Denmark), on a tablet.The scale will be measured from 0 to10, where 0 represents 'no pain' and 10 represents 'worst pain imaginable'. Only on day 7 (second session), up to 24 hours
