Predicting Response to Intra-Articular Corticosteroid Injection in Patients With Osteoarthritis of the Glenohumeral Joint

June 8, 2021 updated by: University of Florida
This study will examine the effectiveness of a single cortisone injection in patients with shoulder osteoarthritis over a 6-month period, and identify clinical and radiographic factors to help predict how a patient with shoulder osteoarthritis will respond to a cortisone injection utilizing ultrasound guidance.

Study Overview

Status

Conditions

Conditions

The disease, disorder, syndrome, illness, or injury that is being studied. On ClinicalTrials.gov, conditions may also include other health-related issues, such as lifespan, quality of life, and health risks.

Intervention / Treatment

Intervention / Treatment

A process or action that is the focus of a clinical study. Interventions include drugs, medical devices, procedures, vaccines, and other products that are either investigational or already available. Interventions can also include noninvasive approaches, such as education or modifying diet and exercise.

Detailed Description

The purpose of this study is to assess the effectiveness of intraarticular corticosteroid injections (IACSI) for glenohumeral arthritis by 1) through patient-reported outcomes and 2) identifying clinical and radiographic predictors of IACSI success.

Phase

Phase

The stage of a clinical trial studying a drug or biological product, based on definitions developed by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA). The phase is based on the study's objective, the number of participants, and other characteristics. There are five phases: Early Phase 1 (formerly listed as Phase 0), Phase 1, Phase 2, Phase 3, and Phase 4. Not Applicable is used to describe trials without FDA-defined phases, including trials of devices or behavioral interventions.

Participation Criteria

Researchers look for people who fit a certain description, called eligibility criteria. Some examples of these criteria are a person's general health condition or prior treatments.

Eligibility Criteria

Eligibility Criteria

The key requirements that people who want to participate in a clinical study must meet or the characteristics they must have. Eligibility criteria consist of both inclusion criteria (which are required for a person to participate in the study) and exclusion criteria (which prevent a person from participating). Types of eligibility criteria include whether a study accepts healthy volunteers, has age or age group requirements, or is limited by sex.

Ages Eligible for Study

18 years to 100 years (Adult, Older Adult)

Accepts Healthy Volunteers

No

Genders Eligible for Study

What is the study measuring?

Primary Outcome Measures

Primary Outcome Measures

In a clinical study's protocol, the planned outcome measure that is the most important for evaluating the effect of an intervention/treatment. Most clinical studies have one primary outcome measure, but some have more than one.
Outcome Measure
Measure Description
Time Frame
ASES Scores at Each Time Point
Time Frame: Baseline, 2 weeks, 1 month, 2 months, 3 months, 6 months
ASES (American Shoulder & Elbow Surgeon) score. Data points a change for all pre-specified time points and is reported. ASES has 11 items scored by Pain VAS (1 question) Function (10 questions); Score: 0-100 (Higher score is better).
Baseline, 2 weeks, 1 month, 2 months, 3 months, 6 months
Visual Analog Scale Scores at Each Time Point.
Time Frame: Baseline, post-injection (5-10 minutes), 2 weeks, 1 month, 2 months, 3 months, 6 months
VAS (Visual Analog Scale) pain score improvement > 1.4 points (The number that the respondent indicates on the scale to rate their pain intensity is recorded. Scores range from 0=no pain and 10=worst pain). The visual analog scale (VAS) is a validated, subjective measure for acute and chronic pain. Scores are recorded by making a handwritten mark on a 10-cm line that represents a continuum between 0=no pain and 10=worst pain.
Baseline, post-injection (5-10 minutes), 2 weeks, 1 month, 2 months, 3 months, 6 months
SST (Simple Shoulder Test) Scores at Each Time Point
Time Frame: Baseline, 2 weeks, 1 month, 2 months, 3 months, 6 months
SST (Simple Shoulder Test) score improvement > 2.4 points. 12 items that are answered yes/no (measures functional limitations of the affected shoulder): Scored: 0-12 (Higher score is better)
Baseline, 2 weeks, 1 month, 2 months, 3 months, 6 months
