Effects of Dextrose on Knee Osteoarthritis
Study Details
Study Description
Brief Summary
Using double blind, randomized controlled design to study the immediate, short-term and intermediate-term therapeutic effects of ultrasound guided hyaluronic acid injection and hyaluronic acid combined dextrose injection to patients with knee osteoarthritis.

Phase 4 |
Detailed Description
A total of 106 patients will be collected. The participants will be randomized into two groups, including hyaluronic acid group and hyaluronic acid combined dextrose group.
The hyaluronic acid group will receive 3 times of hyaluronic acid injection per week in three weeks; the hyaluronic acid combined dextrose group will receive 3 times of hyaluronic acid combined dextrose injection per week in three weeks.
The pain, physical activity, and functional performance 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 month after injection.
Subjects and the evaluator will be both blinded to the group's classification during the whole course of study.

---|---|
Active Comparator: hyaluronic acid combined dextrose group Hyaluronic acid (2 cc) combined 25% dextrose (3.5 cc 50% dextrose plus 3.5 cc 2% lidocaine) injection: one injection per week, for 3 weeks, to compare the additional therapeutic effects of combined hyaluronic acid and dextrose injections to hyaluronic acid injections |
Drug: dextrose
compare the therapeutic effects of hyaluronic acid combined dextrose injections with hyaluronic acid injections only to patients with knee osteoarthritis
Other Names:
Device: hyaluronic acid

Placebo Comparator: hyaluronic acid group Hyaluronic acid (2 cc) combined normal saline (3.5 cc normal saline plus 3.5 cc 2% lidocaine) injection: one injection per week, for 3 weeks, to compare the additional therapeutic effects of combined hyaluronic acid and dextrose injections to hyaluronic acid injections |
Device: hyaluronic acid
