Clinical Trial Summary

The aim of this multicenter non-controlled study is to develop a multivariable prediction model of pain/disability improvements in patients with meniscal tears, after a physical therapy treatment based on therapeutic exercise and education.


Description:

A multivariable prediction model for the improvement in shoulder pain and disability will be developed based on the following predictors: - Body mass index [kg/m2, Fractional polynomials FP2]. - Smoking [Years, linear relationship]. - Employment status [3 categories]. - Maximum education degree [4 categories]. - Previous performance of physical exercise [2 categories]. - Baseline disability (measured with the Knee Injury and Ostoarthritis Outcome Score) [Fractional polynomials FP2]. - Baseline pain intensity (measured with a numeric pain rating scale) [Fractional polynomials FP2]. - Pain duration [Weeks, linear relationship] - Pain catastrophizing (measured with the Pain Catastrophizing Scale) [Linear relationship]. - Patient's expectations (measured with the Musculoskeletal Outcomes Data Evaluation and Management System) [Linear relationship].

Intervention

Other:
Therapeutic resistance exercise
Therapeutic exercise program based on individualized progressive resistance exercises performed during 3 months at home, with a frequency of 1-3 sessions per week at the hospital.
Education
Education applied during all the therapeutic process, focusing on diverting the patient's attention away from the structural lesion, explaining the relationship between pain/disability and tissue injury, explaining the meaning of pain during exercises, and explaining the objectives of the implemented treatments.

Outcome

Type Measure Description Time frame Safety issue
Other Pain Catastrophizing Pain catastrophizing measured with the Pain Catastrophizing Scale, which ranges from 0 (minimum degree of catastrophizing) to 100 (maximum degree of catastrophizing). Baseline
Other Patient's expectations Patient's expectations of improvement with therapeutic exercise measured with the Musculoskeletal Outcomes Data Evaluation and Management System, which ranges from 0 (minimum degree of expectations) to 100 (maximum degree of expectations). Baseline
Primary Knee disability Knee disability measured with the Knee Injury and Osteoarthritis Outcome Score, which ranges from 0 (no disability) to 100 (maximum degree of disability). Baseline, change from baseline to 3-month, change from baseline to 6-month, and change from baseline to 1-year.
Secondary Knee pain intensity Knee pain intensity measured with a numeric pain rating scale, which ranges from 0 (no pain) to 10 (worst imaginable pain). Baseline, change from baseline to 3-month, change from baseline to 6-month, and change from baseline to 1-year.
Secondary Need for surgery Need for surgery for the rotator cuff tear registered as a dichotomous variable (YES/NO). 3-month, 6-month, and 1-year.
