2017年4月18日 更新者：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.

研究衡量的是什么？

主要结果指标

结果测量
措施说明
大体时间
Change in Western Ontario and McMaster Universities Osteoarthritis of the Knee and Hip Index (WOMAC)
大体时间：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
Baseline, 8, 16, 24, 36 and 52 weeks (Baseline, 8, 16, 24, 32, 40 and 48 for Usual Care group)

次要结果测量

结果测量
措施说明
大体时间
Change in Pain: The Visual Analog Scale (VAS)
大体时间：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
大体时间：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
大体时间：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
大体时间：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)
