Non-surgical Treatment of Knee Osteoarthritis - a Comparison of Effects in 2200 Patients

October 16, 2015 updated by: Ole Simonsen, Northern Orthopaedic Division, Denmark

The purpose of this study is to assess whether radiographic osteoarthritis severity (OA; Kellgren-Lawrence scale) is associated with self-reported improvement in pain after non-surgical treatments (physiotherapy, pain killers, injection, other treatments).

The hypothesis is that radiographic OA severity is inversely associated with self-reported improvement.
