About this trial

This is an interventional treatment trial for Osteoarthritis, Knee

Eligibility Criteria

50 Years - 80 Years (Adult, Older Adult)All SexesDoes not accept healthy volunteers

Inclusion Criteria:

  • Adult men or women ages 50-80 years
  • Diagnosis of symptomatic osteoarthritis of the knee based on clinical and radiographic criteria
  • Provision of informed consent

Exclusion Criteria:

  • Patients with inflammatory osteoarthritis
  • Open wounds or sores over the knee joint
  • Patients that will likely have problems, in the judgement of the investigators, with maintaining follow-up

Arms of the Study

Arm 1

Arm 2

Arm Type

Experimental

Sham Comparator

Arm Label

Viewing of preparation

Blinded to preparation

Arm Description

The patient will be in the room for the preparation of the PRP and will receive a description of the centrifuge process from the physician administering the injection.

The patient will leave the room after their blood is drawn and will not view the preparation of the PRP, and will also not receive a description of the centrifuge process.

Outcomes

Primary Outcome Measures

VAS Pain
Visual analog scale pain on a 0-10 scale, with higher scores indicating worse pain.

Secondary Outcome Measures

Western Ontario and McMaster Universities Osteoarthritis Index (WOMAC)
Patient reported knee osteoarthritis index with subscores of pain, function and stiffness. The range of scores on the WOMAC is from 0-96, with higher scores indicating worse outcomes. The subscore of pain is on a scale of 0-20, the subscore of stiffness is 0-8, and the subscale of function is 0-68. The scores of the subscales are summed in order to get the total score.
Range of motion
Range of motion in the knee from full extension to full flexion.
Short Form 12 (SF-12) Functional outcome assessment
Health-related quality of life measure on a scale from 0-100, where higher scores indicate better function.

5. Study Description

Brief Summary
The purpose of this study is to determine whether outcomes for patients receiving intra-articular platelet-rich plasma (PRP) injections for knee osteoarthritis are influenced by observation of the preparatory steps to the procedure. The viewing of the steps involved in the administration of PRP may increase the effectiveness of the treatment in comparison to patients who have not observed the preparatory steps.
