Outcome Measures
Primary Outcome Measures
- Visual Analogue Scale (VAS) [at baseline.]
patient's self-assessment of pain, in the range of 0 to 10, higher scores mean a worse outcome.
- Visual Analogue Scale (VAS) [4 weeks after baseline.]
patient's self-assessment of pain, in the range of 0 to 10, higher scores mean a worse outcome
- Visual Analogue Scale (VAS) [8 weeks after baseline.]
patient's self-assessment of pain, in the range of 0 to 10, higher scores mean a worse outcome.
Secondary Outcome Measures
- Western Ontario and McMaster Universities Osteoarthritis Index (WOMAC) [at baseline.]
24-item questionnaire for osteoarthritis, in the range of 0 to 96, higher scores mean a worse outcome
- Western Ontario and McMaster Universities Osteoarthritis Index (WOMAC) [4 weeks after baseline.]
24-item questionnaire for osteoarthritis, in the range of 0 to 96, higher scores mean a worse outcome
- Western Ontario and McMaster Universities Osteoarthritis Index (WOMAC) [8 weeks after baseline.]
24-item questionnaire for osteoarthritis, in the range of 0 to 96, higher scores mean a worse outcome
