Arms of the Study

Arm 1

Arm Type

Other

Arm Label

Blood collection arm

Arm Description

Blood collection will be performed before the spa therapy (Day 0), at the end of the spa therapy (Week 3) and 6 months later (M6).

Outcomes

Primary Outcome Measures

Describe the change of serum level of Hyaluronic acid (a marker of synovial inflammation)
Measure of serum level of Hyaluronic acid before the spa therapy (Day 0), at the end of the spa therapy (Week 3) and 6 months later (M6).

Secondary Outcome Measures

Marker of cartilage degradation: Coll2-1
Measure of biological marker of cartilage degradation (Coll2-1) before the spa therapy (Day 0), at the end of the spa therapy (Week 3) and 6 months later (M6).
Marker of bone resorption: CTX1
Measure of biological marker of bone resorption (CTX1) before the spa therapy (Day 0), at the end of the spa therapy (Week 3) and 6 months later (M6).
Index of symptomatic severity of knee osteoarthritis or WOMAC
Patients will have been asked to answer symptom questionnaire (WOMAC) before the spa therapy (Day 0), at the end of the spa therapy (Week 3) and 6 months later (M6). It is a self-administered questionnaire consisting of 24 items divided into 3 subscales: Pain (5 items), Stiffness (2 items) and Physical Function (17 items). The test questions are scored on a scale of 0-4, which correspond to: None (0), Mild (1), Moderate (2), Severe (3), and Extreme (4). The scores for each subscale are summed up, with a possible score range of 0-20 for Pain, 0-8 for Stiffness, and 0-68 for Physical Function.
Pain evaluation Visual Analogue Scale
Patients will have been asked to answer pain questionnaire (EVA) before the spa therapy (Day 0), at the end of the spa therapy (Week 3) and 6 months later (M6). The EVA is in the form of a 10 cm plastic strip graduated in mm. On the face presented to the patient, there is a cursor which he mobilizes along a straight line, one end of which corresponds to "No pain", and the other to "Maximum pain imaginable". The patient must, along this line, position the cursor at the place that best locates his pain. On the other side, there are millimeter graduations seen only by the caregiver. The position of the cursor mobilized by the patient makes it possible to read the intensity of the pain, which is measured in mm.
SF 36 Quality of Life Questionnaire
Patients will have been asked to answer and quality of life questionnaire (SF-36) before the spa therapy (Day 0), at the end of the spa therapy (Week 3) and 6 months later (M6). There are 11 questions in SF-36, with 36 items in total. The SF-36 items are divided into 8 different areas: Physical component (4 areas: Physical activity, Limitations due to physical condition, Physical pain, Perceived health) and Mental component (4 areas: Life and relationships with others , Psychic health, Limitations due to mental state, Vitality). It is requested to respond according to the last 4 weeks. The rating system recommended for the SF-36 is a weighted Likert system for each item. The items in the subscales are totaled in order to obtain a summary score for each subscale or dimension. Each of the 8 summary scores is linearly transformed on a scale of 0 (negative for health) to 100 (favorable for health) to obtain a score for each subscale.
Global clinical evaluation with kne flexion and joint swelling
A global clinical evaluation done with evaluation of different exams: Knee flexion (in degrees), joint swelling (measuring the perimeter of the joint (in cm)) before the spa therapy (Day 0), at the end of the spa therapy (Week 3) and 6 months later (M6).

5. Study Description

Brief Summary
Spa therapy is used in the treatment of various diseases and mainly osteoarthritis. Knee osteoarthritis is a very common rheumatic disease whose prevalence increases with longer life span and is a public health problem. The Forestier and al. study highlighted the actual benefit and confirmed the improvement of the quality of life and pain of the knee osteoarthritis patients from 6 months of spa treatment.[1] A significant decrease of 30% in the rate of Serum Hyaluronic Acid at 6 months after the end of the spa therapy was also highlighted in the Canteloup et al study.[6] This study aims to measure different osteoarticular biomarkers (hyaluronic acid, coll2-1 and CTX1) before, at the end of the spa therapy and 6 months after the spa therapy and correlate with the clinical evaluation.
