Pain Informed Movement for People With Knee Osteoarthritis: A Pilot and Feasibility Randomized Controlled Trial
In Brief
A clinical study evaluating pain informed movement, standard neuromuscular exercise, and 2 other interventions for Knee Osteoarthritis. Completed, enrolled 69 participants across 1 site.
Detailed Summary
The goal of this clinical trial is to compare a pain informed movement program to standard neuromuscular exercise in people with knee osteoarthritis. The main question it aims to answer are: 1. Are the two interventions a) pain informed movement program plus pain neuroscience education and b) neuromuscular exercise plus standard osteoarthritis education feasible in terms of recruitment, treatment adherence, timelines, data collection procedures, patient follow-up, and resources required? 2. Is there a difference in patient's satisfaction and acceptability of the two programs? 3. Are there any differences in the potential effects of the two programs on subjective pain measures, self-reported function, quality of life, functional leg strength, nervous system pain modulation, brain derived neurotrophic factor and nerve growth factor levels, and psychological factors?
Study Details
Timeline
Interventions
group classes twice weekly for 8 weeks of neuromuscular exercise in combination with mind-body techniques such as breath regulation, muscle tension regulation, relaxation, mindfulness, awareness of pain related thoughts and emotions.
group classes twice weekly for 8 weeks of neuromuscular exercise.
The pain neuroscience education (PNE) will be delivered in videos addressing concepts such as the purpose of pain, neurophysiological changes of pain, movement guidelines when pain persists, and self-care techniques to impact neurophysiology and support moving with ease that include breath awareness and regulation, muscle tension regulation, awareness of pain related thoughts and emotions, relaxation, and body awareness.
The standard osteoarthritis (OA) education will address the following topics, OA prevalence, risk factors, symptoms, diagnosis, treatment, role of exercise, surgery, self-management
