Effects of Dextrose on Knee Osteoarthritis

August 2, 2017 updated by: Ru-Lan Hsieh, Taipei Medical University

Additional Therapeutic Effects of Dextrose to Hyaluronic Acid on Knee Osteoarthritis: a Double Blind, Randomized-controlled Clinical Trial

Using double blind, randomized controlled design to study the immediate, short-term and intermediate-term therapeutic effects of ultrasound guided hyaluronic acid injection and hyaluronic acid combined dextrose injection to patients with knee osteoarthritis.

Study Overview

Detailed Description

A total of 106 patients will be collected. The participants will be randomized into two groups, including hyaluronic acid group and hyaluronic acid combined dextrose group.

The hyaluronic acid group will receive 3 times of hyaluronic acid injection per week in three weeks; the hyaluronic acid combined dextrose group will receive 3 times of hyaluronic acid combined dextrose injection per week in three weeks.

The pain, physical activity, and functional performance will be evaluated.

All the evaluations will be re-evaluated at one week after injection, one month after injection, three months after injection, and six month after injection.

Subjects and the evaluator will be both blinded to the group's classification during the whole course of study.
