Additional Effects of Steroid and Dextrose to Hyaluronic Acid on Knee Osteoarthritis

Phase 4
Conditions
Knee Osteoarthritis
Interventions
Drug: compare the effects of steroid plus hyaluronic acid and destrose plus hyaluronic acid on knee osteroarthritis
Registration Number
NCT04165902
Lead Sponsor
Taipei Medical University
Brief Summary

Using double-blind, randomized controlled design to compare the immediate, short-term and intermediate-term additional therapeutic effects of ultrasound-guided corticosteroid injection and dextrose injection of hyaluronic acid injection on patients with knee osteoarthritis, under the basis of International Classification of Functioning, Disability, and Health.

Detailed Description

A total of 60 patients will be collected. The participants will be randomized into two groups, including hyaluronic acid combined corticosteroid group and hyaluronic acid combined dextrose group. The balance, physical activity (10 meters normal and fast walk, up and downstairs, and 5 repeated chair-rising time, timed up and go test), functional performance and knee-related quality of life (Western Ontario and McMaster Universities Osteoarthritis index、Knee Injury and Osteoarthritis Outcome Score) will be evaluated. All the evaluations will be re-evaluated at one week after injection, one month after injection, three months after injection, and six months after injection. Subjects and evaluators will be both blinded to the group's classification during the whole course of study.

Primary Outcome Measures
NameTimeMethod
Western Ontario and McMaster Universities Osteoarthritis indexchanges of scores from baseline to at one week, one month, 3 months and 6 months after 3 times of injections; score range: 0-100, higher scores mean a worse outcome

assess knee osteoarthritis related performance

Secondary Outcome Measures
NameTimeMethod
Balancechanges of scores from baseling to at one week, one month, 3 months and 6 months after 3 times of injections; score range 0-4, higher scores mean a better outcome

Berg Balance scale

physical functional performance-walkingchange from baseline to at one week, one month, 3 months and 6 months after 3 times of injections

10 meters normal and fast walking speed

physical functional performance-stairs climbingchange from baseline to at one week, one month, 3 months and 6 months after 3 times of injections

time for up and down stairs

Doppler resistance indexchanges of scores from baseline to at one week after 1 time of injection and two weeks after 2 times of injection; the lower values indicate a low blood vessel resistance

assess knee blood vessel resistance

physical functional performance-chair raisingchange from baseline to at one week, one month, 3 months and 6 months after 3 times of injections

5 repeated chair-rising time

physical functional performance-balancechange from baseline to at one week, one month, 3 months and 6 months after 3 times of injections

timed up and go test

Knee Injury and Osteoarthritis Outcome Scorechanges of scores from baseline to at one week, one month, 3 months and 6 months after 3 times of injections; score range 0-100, higher scores mean at better outcome

assess osteoarthritis of knee related function
