About this study
The investigators include patients attending the outpatient clinic in the area of Orthopedics and Traumatology of the investigators hospital with a diagnosis of knee osteoarthritis, which treatment requires surgery. Patients will be divided into two groups. In both groups, they will be given verbal, clear and detailed information on the approach to follow, the exercises given in brochures, and in the study group a schedule will be given in order to record rehabilitation exercises in patients after total knee replacement (TKA). Both groups will be assessed before and after surgery, together with outpatient follow-up by, WOMAC, Visual Analogue Scale and OKS (Oxford Knee Score).
Read the detailed description
Osteoarthritis (OA) is the most common rheumatic disease worldwide. OA cause joint pain and occupational disability in the adult population. In Mexico, OA is one of the top ten reasons of consultation in primary attention care.
Joint arthroplasty is a major advance in the treatment of chronic joint pain. It is indicated in patients in whose conservative medical therapy has failed. Total knee arthroplasty (TKA) is a surgery that reduces pain and improves function and quality of life in patients with knee disorders, actually is one of the most successful medical procedures. However, a critical consideration in patients with TKA is the successful control of postoperative pain. An adequate pain control allows faster rehabilitation, reduces complications and is highly correlated with patient satisfaction. A multimodal pain management decreases the use of narcotics, improve pain scores, increase patient satisfaction and allows early recovery.
Regarding postoperative rehabilitation, its suggested that rehabilitation programs are based on a biopsychosocial philosophy and integrate exercises and self-management interventions are effective in the treatment of osteoarthritis. Rehabilitation therapy an important area that should be considered. It helps people recover faster from their illness, injury or medical procedures and make possible to get back to their daily activities.
The World Health Organization describes rehabilitation as a process that aims to enable people to maintain and achieve their physical, sensory, intellectual, functional, psychological and social level in an optimal way. It is known that rehabilitation involves contributions from various health disciplines, including physical therapy and occupational therapy and offered in inpatient, outpatient and community patients.
In patients with total knee replacement, rehabilitation interventions may involve education and exercise before surgery, early mobilization while being in the hospital and a postoperative program, along with an adequate pain management.
Perioperative care has shown an improvement in the recovery, it reduces hospital day stay, convalescent and risk of postoperative medical complications.
It has been shown that early initiation of rehabilitation within 24 hours after total knee arthroplasty reduces in-hospital time and decreases the number of sessions required to achieve autonomy, balance and normal gait. Madsen et al. demonstrated that rehabilitation exercises at home have the same effect as those made in rehabilitation group within six months postoperatively, based on a study of 80 patients randomly divided into a control- study group.
Optimal pain management is vital seeking to achieve the goal of recovery called fast track. It involves early therapy with specialized protocols, early discharge and quick recovery. Lamplot et al. demonstrated in a prospective randomized study of 36 patients, using this method, a decrease in opioid consumption and its adverse effects, a decreased pain score, a shortening time for physical therapy and an increase in patient satisfaction.
Postoperative analgesia can be achieved by a variety of techniques. These include: intravenous analgesia, epidural analgesia, techniques for peripheral nerve block and periarticular injections. All aim to control pain in patients and provide the better satisfaction.
Integrating these interventions in a clinical pathway, better functional results are obtained, hospital stay is reduced and there is an improvement in the patient's recovery, mainly in short-term.

What is being measured
The primary outcome is the main question the study is designed to answer.
Total WOMAC Score
The total score is provided for Western Ontario and McMaster Universities Arthritis Index (WOMAC).
It is a widely score used in the evaluation of Hip and Knee Osteoarthritis. Consists of a self-administered questionnaire consisting of 24 items divided into 3 subscales:
pain (5 items), stiffness (2 items), and physical functioning (17 items) of the joints.
- Scale Range: 5 items of pain (score range 0-20), 2 items for stiffness (score range 0-8), and 17 items for functional limitation (score range 0-68). The test questions are scored on a scale of 0-4, which correspond to: None (0), Mild (1), Moderate (2), Severe (3), and Extreme (4). Total WOMAC score range 0-96.
- For each subscale higher values represent worse outcomes.
- Subscales are summed for a total WOMAC score. Higher scores on the WOMAC indicate worse pain, stiffness, and functional limitations.
WOMAC Index was developed in 1982 at Western Ontario and McMaster Universities.
Measured: up to 12 months (O, 2, 4, 6 weeks, 3,6 and 12 months)
Secondary outcomes (1)
Visual Analog Scale (Measure of Pain Intensity)
The pain Visual Analog Scale is a unidimensional measure of pain intensity. The scale is most commonly anchored by "no pain " (score of 0) and "pain as bad as it could be" or "worst imaginable pain" (scale of 10).
Measured: up to 12 months (O, 2, 4, 6 weeks, 3,6 and 12 months)

Clinical summary
The research question as the sponsor registered it. This describes what the study plans to test, not what it found.
The investigators include patients attending the outpatient clinic in the area of Orthopedics and Traumatology of the investigators hospital with a diagnosis of knee osteoarthritis, which treatment requires surgery. Patients will be divided into two groups. In both groups, they will be given verbal, clear and detailed information on the approach to follow, the exercises given in brochures, and in the study group a schedule will be given in order to record rehabilitation exercises in patients after total knee replacement (TKA). Both groups will be assessed before and after surgery, together with outpatient follow-up by, WOMAC, Visual Analogue Scale and OKS (Oxford Knee Score).

Questions about this trial
What is this clinical trial studying?
A study testing Schedule and Verbal Information and Booklet in people with Osteoarthritis and Rehabilitation, run by Universidad Autonoma de Nuevo Leon at 1 site in Mexico.
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.
Is this clinical trial currently recruiting?
The record says: finished, as of the sponsor's last update on 19 Dec 2019. 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 Mexico. 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.
Are results available for this study?
Yes. Results are posted in the registry (first posted 19 Dec 2019). A summary is in the For doctors view, and the full results are on ClinicalTrials.gov.
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?
Total WOMAC Score (time frame: up to 12 months (O, 2, 4, 6 weeks, 3,6 and 12 months)). It is what the study was designed to measure, not a finding.
Where can I read the original study information?
On the ClinicalTrials.gov record for NCT02409719, which also lists 11 linked publications.
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?
