简要总结

The main purposes of this study are:

  • to determine the effects of chondroitin sulphate on brain response to pain assessed through fMRI in patients with knee osteoarthritis.
  • to investigate the relationship between treatment response detected by fMRI and the results of the different parameters of clinical assessment.

结局指标

主要结局

Brain response to pain caused on arthritic knee selected by fMRI

时间窗: 4 months

Functional magnetic resonance imaging (fMRI) is particularly suited to investigating the effects of pharmacological agents on pain processing within the human central nervous system. The measures are based on the haemodynamic resonse to a neuronal event and constitute indirect measures of excitatory and inhibitory neuronal activity. The neuronal activation is associated with an increase of the oxygen extraction fraction from the capillaries and with an increase in regional cerebral blood flow. The measure which derived from blood oxygenation is called the BOLD effect.

次要结局

  • Assessment of the reduction of pain by Huskisson VAS(4 months)
  • Determination of pain and functional capacity using the Lequesne Algofunctional Index(4 months)
  • Use of rescue medication(4 months)
  • Assessment of the quality of life of patients by SF-36 Health Questionaire(4 months)
