Exploring Massage Benefits for Arthritis of the Knee (EMBARK)
18 aprile 2017 aggiornato da: Duke University
Multisite RCT Investigating the Efficacy of Massage in Osteoarthritis
The purpose of this study is to verify the efficacy of an 8-week course of manualized Swedish massage for reducing pain and increasing function compared to light-touch bodywork, and usual care, in 222 adults with OA of the knee.

Misure di risultato primarie
Misura del risultato |
Misura Descrizione |
Lasso di tempo |
|---|---|---|
|
Change in Western Ontario and McMaster Universities Osteoarthritis of the Knee and Hip Index (WOMAC)
Lasso di tempo: Baseline, 8, 16, 24, 36 and 52 weeks (Baseline, 8, 16, 24, 32, 40 and 48 for Usual Care group)
|
The Index is self-administered and assesses the three dimensions of pain, disability and joint stiffness in knee and hip osteoarthritis through 24 questions.
WOMAC 3.1 is available in 65 languages using either a five-point Likert scale or a 100 mm visual analog scale.
The WOMAC has been subject to numerous validation studies to assess reliability and responsiveness to change in therapy, including physical forms of therapy

Misura Descrizione |
Lasso di tempo |
|---|---|---|
|
Change in Pain: The Visual Analog Scale (VAS)
Lasso di tempo: Baseline, 8, 16, 24, 36 and 52 weeks (Baseline, 8, 16, 24, 32, 40 and 48 for Usual Care group)
|
Used to measure pain sensation intensity evoked by nociceptive stimuli.
Subjects quickly and easily rate stimuli within the series by indicating level of pain on a 100 mm scale.
Pain intensity is represented by the participant drawing a line on the scale indicative of pain experienced (0 = no pain, to 100 = worse pain imaginable).
The VAS is anchored at the left by "no pain sensation" and at the right by "the most intense pain sensation imaginable."
|
Baseline, 8, 16, 24, 36 and 52 weeks (Baseline, 8, 16, 24, 32, 40 and 48 for Usual Care group)

|
Change in Pain: PROMIS Pain Interference Questionnaire
Lasso di tempo: Baseline, 8, 16, 24, 36 and 52 weeks (Baseline, 8, 16, 24, 32, 40 and 48 for Usual Care group)
|
Patient Reported Outcomes Measurement Information System (PROMIS), funded by the National Institutes of Health (NIH), is a system of highly reliable, valid, flexible, precise, and responsive assessment tools that measure patient-reported health status.
The Pain Interference Questionnaire has 6 questions answered on an ordinal scale of five gradations.
|
Baseline, 8, 16, 24, 36 and 52 weeks (Baseline, 8, 16, 24, 32, 40 and 48 for Usual Care group)
|
|
Change in Joint Flexibility
Lasso di tempo: Baseline, 8, 16, 24, 36 and 52 weeks (Baseline, 8, 16, 24, 32, 40 and 48 for Usual Care group)
|
Joint flexibility is defined as the range of motion (ROM) allowed at the knee.
The knee's ROM is measured by the number of degrees from the starting position of a segment to its position at the end of its full range of the movement.
This is measured using a double-armed goniometer.
A stationary arm holding a protractor is placed parallel with a stationary body segment and a movable arm moves along a moveable body segment.
The pin (axis of goniometer) is placed over the joint.
|
Baseline, 8, 16, 24, 36 and 52 weeks (Baseline, 8, 16, 24, 32, 40 and 48 for Usual Care group)
|
|
Change in Physical Function
Lasso di tempo: Baseline, 8, 16, 24, 36 and 52 weeks (Baseline, 8, 16, 24, 32, 40 and 48 for Usual Care group)
|
Measured time in seconds to walk fifty (50) feet (15 m) on a level surface within the clinic facilities.
|
Baseline, 8, 16, 24, 36 and 52 weeks (Baseline, 8, 16, 24, 32, 40 and 48 for Usual Care group)
