Detailed Description
Osteoarthritis affects 10 millions people in France (17% of the population). It's the second cause of disability and consultation after the cardiovascular diseases in France. For the moment, there is no curative treatment for osteoarthritis The main clinical sign of this disease is pain and care is based on the treatment of pain and on the improvement of functionnal disability. The proposed treatments are mainly based on the use of oral analgesics treatments .
At present, patients report to be insufficiently relieved. New strategies need to be developed. The hypothesis is that the use of an innovative medical device, Remedee One, can reduce the pain felt by patients, improve their quality of life and reduce the analgesics consumption.
The choice is oriented on the peripheral osteoarthritis and excludes spinal osteoarthritis because it's an osteoarthritis always asymptomatic and painless.
Study Design
Arms and Interventions
| Arm | Intervention/Treatment |
|---|---|
| Experimental: First intervention group Patients suffering from peripheral osteoarthritis who will have : 3 months of conventional pain treatment and daily sessions with the medical device - 1 month of wash-out - 3 months of conventional pain treatment. |
Device: Conventional pain treatment with daily sessions with innovative medical device, Remedee One, for pain management by Millimeter Band Radiation
Conventional pain treatement with daily sessions with innovative medical device for pain management (radiation in millimeter band) at the rate of 1 to 3 sessions by day of 40 minutes for 3 months.

Outcome Measures
Primary Outcome Measures
- Comparison of pain (evaluates with visual analogue scale ) with and without the use of medical device in patients with peripheral osteoarthritis who benefit from their conventional pain treatment. [7 months]
At the end of each month for each period of the cross-over, the pain is evaluated using a visual analogue scale (VAS).
Secondary Outcome Measures
- Comparison of quality of life (evaluated with the EQ5D5L questionnaire), with and without the use of the medical device, in patients with peripheral osteoarthritis who benefit from their conventional pain treatment. [7 months]
At the end of each of the cross-over period, the quality of life is evaluated with the score obtained using the EQ5D-5L (5-level EuroQol version) questionnaire.
- Comparison of depressive state and coping (evaluated with the HAD questionnaire), with and without the use of the medical device in patients with peripheral osteoarthritis receiving their conventional pain treatment.. [7 months]
At the end of each of the cross-over period, the depressive state and coping are evaluated with the score obtained using the HAD (Hospital Anxiety and Depression Scale) questionnaire.
- Comparison of functional capacity (evaluated with the WOMAC questionnaire) with and without the use of the medical device in patients suffering from osteoarthritis of the lower limbs and benefiting from their conventional pain treatment. [7 months]
At the end of each of the cross-over period, the functional capacity is evaluated with the score obtained using the WOMAC (Western Ontario and McMaster Universities Arthritis Index) questionnaire.
- Comparison of the functional capacity (evaluatet with the DREISER questionnaire) with and without the use of the medical device in patients with digital osteoarthritis and benefiting from their conventional pain treatment. [7 months]
At the end of each of the cross-over period, the functional capacity is evaluated with the score obtained using the DREISER (Functional Index for Hand OsteoArthritis) questionnaire.
- Number of analgesic consumption, with and without the use of the medical device, in patients with peripheral osteoarthritis and benefiting from their conventional pain treatment. [7 months]
At the end of each of the cross-over period, the analgesic consumption are assessed by their class, dose and number of dose taken.
- Number of care consumption with and without the use of the medical device in patients with peripheral osteoarthritis and benefiting from their conventional pain treatment. [7 months]
At the end of each of the cross-over period, the number of drugs consumed (phytotherapy, homeopathy, food supplements), the number of medical acts, medical consultations, hospitalisations, the number of complementary medicine (acupuncture...) and psycho-behavioural therapies are assessed.
- Adverse effect from the medical device. [7 months]
At the end of each of the cross-over period, the number of adverse effects from the medical device is assessed.
- Charaterization of the sleep quality (evaluated with a qualitative visual satisfaction scale) with and without the use of medical device in patients with peripheral osteoarthritis and benefiting from their conventional pain treatment. [7 months]
At the end of each of the cross-over period, the sleep quality is evaluated using a qualitative visual satisfaction scale (score between 0 to 10).
- Description of the medical device use [7 months]
Log files of the medical device are extracted. The number and the duration of each session are analysed.
- Medical device acceptability : descriptive analysis [7 months]
Open question will be asked in a questionnaire without scale. A descriptive analysis will be done with the answers.
