Source: ClinicalTrials.gov · Last updated 21 Nov 2023
Brief summary (registry, in English)
The knee pain status of the patients who are followed in the rheumatology special branch of the Physical Medicine and Rehabilitation Outpatient Clinic and who meet the inclusion criteria will be questioned.

The physician who performed the ultrasonographic measurements of the knee pain status of the patients does not know.
