NCT ID:
NCT03167333
Brief Summary:
To determine whether platelet-rich-plasma (PRP) or HA (hyaluronic acid)injection into synovitis in osteoarthritis(OA) knee can achieve improvement in knee function and reduce synovitis.
Detailed Description:
Methods:
sixty patients with OA knee having unilateral or bilateral synovitis validated by ultrasound (N=40) were studied. All the patients were randomized to receive PRP (N=40) or Hyaluronic acid(HA)(N=40) injection twice at 2-week intervals; Clinical assessments were performed using a visual analog scale(VAS) and The Western Ontario and McMaster Universities Osteoarthritis Index (WOMAC index) before injection at baseline, 4 weeks(first evaluation) and 12 weeks(secondary evaluation). Imaging evaluation based on color Doppler ultrasound(CDUS) and the depth of synovial fluid accumulation ,and the width of synovial hypertrophy was performed simultaneously.
