Outcome Measures
Primary Outcome Measures
- Change of subjective therapy evaluation (KOOS questionnaire) compared to baseline [week 1, week 12, week 24, week 36]
Knee injury and Osteoarthritis Outcome Score (KOOS) to assess pain, other symptoms, activities of daily living (ADL), function in sport and recreation (Sport/Rec) and knee-related Quality of Life (QoL) on a 5-point Likert scale
- Change of pain intensity compared to baseline (visual analogue scale, VAS) [week 1, week 12, week 24, week 36]
Evaluation of pain intensity by the patient on a 10 cm VAS-slider. 10 cm equals the worst pain.
- Change of patient's global assessment (overall impression of clinical OA severity on a numerical rating scale from 0 to 10) [week 1, week 12, week 24, week 36]
The change of overall subjective symptom severity evaluation on a scale from 0 (very good condition) to 10 (very poor condition).
- Change of clinical global impression (overall impression of clinical OA severity of the investigator on a numerical rating scale from 0 to 10) [week 1, week 12, week 24, week 36]
The change of clinical global Impression on a scale from 0 (very good condition) to 10 (very poor condition).
- Responder rate according to OMERACT-OARSI criteria [week 24]
- Incidence of treatment-emergent Adverse Events [Up to week 36]
- Satisfaction scale (subjective satisfaction of patient and investigator with the treatment on a 5 Point likert scale) [week 1, week 12, week 24, week 36]
Subjective satisfaction on a scale from 1 (very satisfied) to 5 (very unsatisfied)
