A RANDOMIZED TRIAL OF A WEDGED INSOLE FOR OSTEOARTHRITIS OF THE KNEE

本子项目是利用由NIH/NCRR资助的中心赠款提供的资源的众多研究子项目之一。子项目和研究者（PI）可能已经从另一个NIH来源获得了主要资金，因此可以在其他CRISP条目中表示。列出的机构是中心的，不一定是研究者的机构。改革楔形鞋垫在膝关节内侧骨关节炎患者中的随机临床试验，以确定使用这些鞋垫是否减轻疼痛。该项目的总体目标是确定外翻鞋垫是否能缓解膝关节骨关节炎患者的膝关节疼痛。具体目的是在内侧膝骨关节炎患者中进行一项为期16周的随机交叉临床试验，以确定在使用这种治疗期间，向鞋中提供外翻楔植入物是否比使用相同材料制成的中性植入物更能降低疼痛评分。

This subproject is one of many research subprojects utilizing the resources provided by a Center grant funded by NIH/NCRR. The subproject and investigator (PI) may have received primary funding from another NIH source, and thus could be represented in other CRISP entries. The institution listed is for the Center, which is not necessarily the institution for the investigator. To reform a randomized clinical trial of a wedged insole in patients with medial knee osteoarthititis to determine whether the use of these insoles alleviates pain. The overall objective of this project is to determine whether the provision of valgus insoles in patients with medical knee osteoarthritis relieves knee pain. The specific aims are to undertake a 16 week randomized crossover clinical trial in patients with medial knee osteoarthritis to determine whether provision of valgus wedge insert into the shoe leads to lower pain scores during the time this treatment is used rather than during the use of a neutral insert made of the same material.
