Long-term Functional Outcome of a Single Hyaluronic Acid Injection in Patients With Knee Osteoarthritis
This study aims to evaluate the effectiveness of a single HA injection in improving pain, function, and quality of life in patients with knee OA over a 12-month period. By focusing on a single-arm open-label design, this study will provide practical insights into the real-world application of this treatment approach.
Inclusion: Adults aged 40-75 years with a clinical and radiographic diagnosis of knee OA (Kellgren-Lawrence grade II-III); Persistent knee pain (≥4 on a 10-point Visual Analogue Scale [VAS]) for at least 3 months; Failure to achieve adequate pain relief with conservative treatments (e.g., NSAIDs, physical therapy); Willingness to provide informed consent and comply with study procedures.
Exclusion: Severe OA (Kellgren-Lawrence grade IV). ii. History of knee surgery or HA injection within the past 6 months. iii. Inflammatory arthritis (e.g., rheumatoid arthritis, gout). iv. Contraindications to HA injections (e.g., infection, allergy to HA products); Significant comorbidities that may interfere with study participation (e.g., uncontrolled diabetes, morbid obesity, severe cardiovascular disease).
