About this study

Official title: Magnetic Resonance Imaging of Infrapatellar Fat Pad in Osteoarthritis and Controls

In this study, the investigators use the clinical documentation and imaging data of MRI to do research. Clinical subjects were divided into two groups: osteoarthritis patients and healthy controls without osteoarthritis. Differences of MRI data were studied between two groups.

Read the detailed description

In this study, the investigators applied high precision MRI technique (with as less as a slice thickness of 0.35 mm and without inter-slice gap), and calculated not only the IPFP maximal sagittal area and IPFP volume, but also the quantitated signal, and compared the differences between healthy controls and osteoarthritis patients. This is an observational cross-sectional study without specific interventions to the subjects. MRI is a regular examination in our hospital. And all subjects are included for the reasons of osteoarthritis (need MRI) and healthy controls (pain but not osteoarthritis, also need MRI). The investigator does not assign specific interventions to the subjects of the study.

What participants receive

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

  • Magnetic resonance imagingRadiation

    3.0 T Magnetic resonance imaging of knee joints. It does not harm the subjects.

What is being measured

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

  1. Infrapatellar Fat Pad Volume in MRI

    Measured: collect the data within 24 hours after the subjects did the MRI

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

An observational study of Osteoarthritis, run by The Third Xiangya Hospital of Central South University at 1 site in China.

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 2 inclusion and 10 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 12 Jun 2017. 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 China. 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 7 Oct 2016). 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?

Infrapatellar Fat Pad Volume in MRI (time frame: collect the data within 24 hours after the subjects did the MRI). 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 NCT02829463, which also lists 2 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?

AzTrials copies changed records from ClinicalTrials.gov every night and reloads the whole registry every week. The sponsor last updated this record on 12 Jun 2017.
