简要总结
This research assesses the effects that Photobiomodulation Therapy (PBMT) has on Intra-articular administered Plasma-Rich Platelet (PRP) injections for Knee Osteoarthritis (KOA) treatment through evaluations of synovial and serum inflammatory and reparative biomarkers.
A comparison of Physical Therapy (PT) vs PT + PRP vs PT + PBMT vs PT + PRP + PBMT for KOA treatment is made. The relationship between self-reported pain and functionality and treatment mechanisms is analyzed along with an analysis of the intersectionality between participant self-reported pain and functionality and medicine markers across treatment groups. These aims seek to inform current treatment practices in treating KOA and returning Active-Duty Service Members to duty readiness.
详细描述
Post Traumatic Knee Osteoarthritis (PTOA) is a degenerative joint disease resulting in the loss of cartilage due to wear and tear or by an uncharacteristic force applied to the knee. This disease appears frequently in Active-Duty Service Members and is rising in prominence where over 20,000 Knee Osteoarthritis (KOA) cases were detected over a 10-year period. Current treatments such as physical therapy (PT), braces, oral pain relievers, corticosteroid, and hyaluronic acid injections for KOA only address the quality of life and the symptoms but have not demonstrated a reverse in disease progression. Studies have found that Platelet-Rich Plasma (PRP) has shown to be a promising treatment 6-12 months post procedure and may slow KOA progression.
Photobiomodulation therapy (PBMT) is a non-invasive treatment option shown to reduce pain, increase function, and decrease stiffness with or without therapeutic exercises in KOA patients. In combination, PRP and PBMT may increase the recovery benefits while and potentially reduce KOA progression while seeking therapy. The exact dosage for the optimization of treatment with both PRP and PBMT still needs to be analyzed and understood. Therefore, this study will investigate four treatment arms utilizing PT, PT plus PRP, PT plus PBMT, and PT plus PRP plus PBMT. This discover based and randomized control trial will investigate the effect of PBMT and intra-articular administered PRP treatment on clinical outcomes (e.g., pain scores) and biomolecular signatures (DNA, RNA, or protein levels) in the blood or synovial spaces.The participants' intersectionality between pain, functionality, and precision medicine markers will be analyzed across treatment groups. Follow-up data in the form of questionnaires and activity logs will be collected to monitor study progression.

研究组 & 干预措施
Physical Therapy (PT) Only
All participants will complete a standard of care PT program addressing individual strength, mobility, and flexibility deficits in both proximal and distal muscle groups. The provider may also use other modalities to address distal issues. If a participant has not been placed on profile at the time of consent, a profile may be written by the study medical provider to ensure limitation of activities, as appropriate.
干预措施: Physical Therapy (Other)
PT + Platelet-Rich Plasma (PRP)
PRP Preparation: The PRP will be prepared following standard technique by drawing 60cc blood from the participant through venipuncture and spinning the blood sample in a centrifuge (for approximately 17 minutes), adjusting for leukocyte poor-platelet rich plasma (LP-PRP). This sample will be prepared by the study provider. Any leftover blood will be safely discarded per standard protocols.
A small portion of the pre-spin whole blood (approximately 1 cc) and post-spin injectant PRP (approximately 1 cc) will be sent to MAMC Department of Pathology and Laboratory Services (DPALS) for complete blood count (CBC) cytology to monitor standardization and reproducibility. This portion will be labeled by participant ID and study. De-identified hardcopy results will be obtained from MAMC DPALS, and CBC results will be reported on Appendix G (CBC Results CRF). Post-procedural instructions will be provided in a participant handout.

PT + Photobiomodulation Treatment (PBMT)
In addition to SOC PT, the PBMT group will receive PBM treatment, as outlined below.
PBM treatments will occur 3 times each week, for 3 weeks. A member of the study team will measure the treatment area according to a standard protocol and calculate the treatment time (approximately 5-20 minutes). PBMT will be delivered at 6 J/cm2 and 25W and applied in a serpentine pattern to the knee area. Participants will be asked to refrain from using perfumes or plant extracts (e.g., St. John's Wort) in the treatment area(s), as this can increase skin photosensitivity.
