What participants receive

What participants receive. In a randomised study each person is assigned to one group by chance.

  • OstenilDevice

    Standard arthroscopy (including intra-articular injection of 5 ml scandicain (0,5%), or 5 ml bupivacain plus 5 ml suprarenin in case of post-arthroscopic treatment). Add-on treatment with Ostenil after standard arthroscopic procedure. Application twice: first injection directly after arthroscopic procedure and second injection 3 weeks post arthroscopic.

  • Standard arthroscopic procedureProcedure or surgery

    Standard arthroscopy (including intra-articular injection of 5 ml scandicain (0,5%), or 5 ml bupivacain plus 5 ml suprarenin in case of post-arthroscopic treatment) without add-on treatment.

What is being measured

The primary outcome is the main question the study is designed to answer.

  1. Inter-group comparison of Mayo total wrist score in subjects with or without post-arthroscopic hyaluronan treatment 3 months after arthroscopic surgery.

    Mayo wrist score evaluation consisting of 4 sections:

    • Maximal grip strength on injured side (compared to maximal strength of contralateral side, measured by 4-point scale, ranking from '0' for minimal to '30' for maximal strength)
    • Range of motion (measured by 4-point scale, ranking from '0' for minimal to '20' for maximal mobility)
    • Pain (measured by 4-point scale, ranking from '0' for maximal to '20' for minimal pain)
    • Function in daily activities (measured by 4-point scale, ranking from '0' for minimal to '30' for maximal function)

    Measured: Baseline and 3 months

Secondary outcomes (7)
  1. Inter-group comparison of Mayo total wrist score in subjects with or without post-arthroscopic hyaluronan treatment.

    Measured: Measured during the 6-month duration of participation

  2. Disabilities of the arm, shoulder, and hand (DASH) outcome measure

    Measured: Measured during the 6-month duration of participation

  3. Grip strength

    Measured: Measured during the 6-month duration of participation

  4. Visual analogue scale of pain (VAS; 100 mm)

    Measured: Measured during the 6-month duration of participation

  5. Clinical Global Impression (CGI)

    Measured: Measured during the 6-month duration of participation

  6. Inter-group comparison of Mayo wrist subscores in subjects with or without post-arthroscopic hyaluronan treatment.

    • Maximal grip strength on injured side (compared to contralateral side)
    • Range of motion
    • Pain
    • Function in daily activities

    Measured: Measured during the 6-month duration of participation

  7. Number of subjects with Adverse Events as a measure of safety and tolerability

    Measured: Measured during the 6-month duration of participation

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A study testing Ostenil and Standard arthroscopic procedure in people with Arthroscopic Surgery, run by TRB Chemedica AG at 1 site in Germany.

The full registered description is in the About this study section and the official record.

Who may be eligible to take part?

The sponsor lists 4 inclusion and 9 exclusion criteria. Eligibility is decided by the study team after screening, so read the full criteria and contact a listed site.

The record says: finished, as of the sponsor's last update on 28 Sep 2011. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

Where is the study taking place?

The record lists 1 site in Germany. Whether a site is taking part right now should be confirmed with that site. See every site.

What are the possible benefits and risks?

They depend on the study and the treatment, and no study can promise a benefit. The study team explains the known risks during informed consent, before anyone joins; the record itself does not list them.

How can a doctor refer a patient or contact the research team?

The record lists no contact. The official record names the sponsor, who can be asked directly. AzTrials does not enrol participants or take referrals.

What does the primary outcome measure?

Inter-group comparison of Mayo total wrist score in subjects with or without post-arthroscopic hyaluronan treatment 3 months after arthroscopic surgery. (time frame: Baseline and 3 months). It is what the study was designed to measure, not a finding.

Where can I read the original study information?
Does a listing mean the treatment is approved or proven to work?

No. A listing means the study is registered. It does not show that the treatment is safe, works, or is approved by a regulator.

How often is this information updated?

AzTrials copies changed records from ClinicalTrials.gov every night and reloads the whole registry every week. The sponsor last updated this record on 28 Sep 2011.
