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
Pain Intensity
Time Frame: Pain intensity Reported to the Doctor after one month of the treatment. Each item is scored 0-10 (0=no pain; 10=pain as bad as can be), yielding a total between 0 and 30.
Self reported pain intensity in the scale 1-10
Pain intensity Reported to the Doctor after one month of the treatment. Each item is scored 0-10 (0=no pain; 10=pain as bad as can be), yielding a total between 0 and 30.

Secondary Outcome Measures

Secondary Outcome Measures

In a clinical study's protocol, a planned outcome measure that is not as important as the primary outcome measure for evaluating the effect of an intervention but is still of interest. Most clinical studies have more than one secondary outcome measure.
Outcome Measure
Measure Description
Time Frame
Knee Stiffness
Time Frame: nee Stiffness checked by the Doctor after one month of treatment. Each item is scored 0-10 (0=no pain; 10=pain as bad as can be), yielding a total between 0 and 30
The stiffness of the knee according to the doctor evaluation
nee Stiffness checked by the Doctor after one month of treatment. Each item is scored 0-10 (0=no pain; 10=pain as bad as can be), yielding a total between 0 and 30
Non Steroidal Anti Inflammatory Drugs Usage
Time Frame: Pain Medication Usage as Reported to the Doctor after one month of treatment. Each item is scored as a number of the dose units that were used during the all period (0=no medications, 1=only one dose of medication etc)
Self reported Non Steroidal Anti Inflammatory Drugs Usage
Pain Medication Usage as Reported to the Doctor after one month of treatment. Each item is scored as a number of the dose units that were used during the all period (0=no medications, 1=only one dose of medication etc)
Adverse Reactions
Time Frame: Adverse Reactions as Reported to the Doctor over the period of the treatment. Each item is scored as a number of the dose units that were used during the all period (0=no adverse reactions, 1=only one adverse reaction etc)
Self reported Adverse Reactions
Adverse Reactions as Reported to the Doctor over the period of the treatment. Each item is scored as a number of the dose units that were used during the all period (0=no adverse reactions, 1=only one adverse reaction etc)
