简要总结
A novel bioactive sleeve will be compared to a placebo sleeve with a similar look and feel to assess pain outcomes, patient reported outcome measures, and effectiveness of healing based on range of motion.
详细描述
This is a blinded randomized prospective study comparing two postoperative leg sleeves. The novel bioactive sleeve (Reparel Leg Sleeve) will be compared to a regular black sleeve with a similar feel/compression. The main hypothesis for this study is that postoperative use of a novel bioactive sleeve after partial arthroscopic meniscectomy/meniscus repair will decrease pain and improve patient reported outcome scores faster and more reliably than the control non-bioactive sleeve. In order to test this hypothesis, approximately 100 patients scheduled for meniscectomy/meniscus repair will be randomized to one of the two arms in order to minimize bias. The following variables will be assessed: patient reported outcomes (VAS, KOOS JR, VR12, and KSS Satisfaction), physical therapy time, motor testing. Each patient will fill out a series of PROMs preoperatively, and post operatively at the 1-week, 2-week, 6-week, 3-month, 6-month, 1 year, and 2-year mark.

盲法说明
The Biostatistics Unit will develop and implement the randomization procedure using the Biostatistics Randomization Management System (BRMS). The Biostatistics Randomization Management System (BRMS) is a secure, HIPAA-compliant, web-based application that allows investigators to randomize subjects into randomized clinical trials (RCTs) using their personal computer. The BRMS allows for multi-center, stratified, and single/double blinded RCTs, using permuted blocks. Randomization notifications (respectful of blinding status) are automatically sent to the PI and other authorized personnel. BRMS includes a feature that allows for medically indicated breaking of the blind, with requirement for justification. BRMS includes an audit trail of all transactions.

结局指标
主要结局
Visual Analogue Scale (VAS) pain score
时间窗: 2 years
Assessing the effectiveness of a bioactive sleeve against a non-bioactive sleeve with regard to pain. The Visual Analogue Scale (VAS) measures pain intensity. The VAS consists of a 10cm line, with two end points representing 0 ('no pain') and 10 ('pain as bad as it could possibly be').
