Clinical Trial Summary

In this study, it was aimed to investigate the effect of pain management education in individuals with knee osteoarthritis with chronic pain.

Description:

Knee osteoarthritis (OA), also known as degenerative joint disease of the knee, is typically the result of wear and tear and progressive loss of joint cartilage. Knee osteoarthritis can be divided into two types, primary and secondary. It is most common in the elderly. The intensity of clinical symptoms can vary from person to person. However, they typically become more severe, more frequent, and more debilitating over time. The rate of progression also varies with each individual. People suffering from knee osteoarthritis complain of limited range of motion and pain when they move their knee or start walking. In advanced disease, they may complain of nocturnal or persistent knee pain and the functionality of the joint is severely impaired. Knee osteoarthritis treatment begins with non-surgical (conservative) treatment methods. Non-surgical treatment includes patient education, lifestyle modification, and the use of orthotic devices. It has been shown that untreated pain in the elderly can have a general impact on their quality of life and lead to depression, anxiety, social isolation, cognitive impairment, inactivity, and sleep disorders. The aim of our project is to provide training for patients diagnosed with knee osteoarthritis with chronic pain to be able to control their pain with self-management and to perform activities of daily living more easily. Appropriate knowledge and awareness can improve their quality of life. Performing safe and accurate pain management practices in the elderly can improve their performance, quality of life, increase their comfort and reduce their care costs. In this study, it was aimed to investigate the effect of pain management education in individuals with knee osteoarthritis with chronic pain.

Outcome

Type	Measure	Description	Time frame	Safety issue
Primary	Change in Knee Injury and Osteoarthritis Outcome Score (KOOS)	We will use the Knee Injury and Osteoarthritis Outcome Score (KOOS) in order not to exceed the pain and daily life span of our patients. It is a scale that evaluates the functional status and groups related to knee injuries and knee osteoarthritis. Other definition of pain has 5 subgroups, including functional status related to daily life span, functional status in sports and leisure activities, and sequence-related quality of life. It consists of 42 questions lasting approximately 10 minutes. Each subscale is scored between 0-100. 0 indicates serious problem, 100 indicates no problem. A score of 10 and above indicates that it changes clinically.	on the first day and eighth week change
Secondary	The McGill Pain Questionnaire	We will use the McGill Pain Questionnaire to evaluate the pain status of our patients. The McGill Pain Questionnaire is a chart with descriptive words about pain. Words are normally divided into four main categories: sensory, emotional, evaluative, and miscellaneous. Within these categories are specific subcategories that contain words used to describe the intensity of a particular sensation or emotional response. Following a particular method, patients choose the most appropriate words from each category to describe their pain to their doctor as precisely and precisely as possible. This can lead to better pain management and, in some cases, better and faster diagnosis. The most common version has 20 subcategories of descriptive words.	on the first day and eighth week change
Secondary	Short Form-12	Similar to SF-36, SF-12 has physical functionality (2 items), physical role (2 items), body pain (1 item), general health (1 item), energy (1 item), social functionality (1 item) It consists of 8 sub-dimensions and 12 items: emotional role (2 items) and mental health (2 items). Items related to physical and emotional role were answered as dichotomy (yes or no), while other items had Likert type options ranging between 3 and 6.	on the first day and eighth week change
