Primary
| Measure | Time frame |
|---|---|
| Main Objective: The primary objective of this study is to investigate whether neuropathic pain symptoms (dynamic mechanical allodynia, pressure, hot and cold) have a different chronological improvement with 5LP compared to placebo. ;Secondary Objective: The secondary objectives will evaluate neuropathic pain (using the DN4 questionnaire for screening), qualitative and quantitative changes of allodynic symptoms (brush-induced Dynamic Mechanical Allodynia (DMA), Mechanical pressure Threshold (MDT), Cold (CDT) and Warm Thermal Detection (WDT) Thresholds), pain intensity (global pain by numerical scale (GP)), pain relief (NSr), patient global impression of change (PGIC), quality of sleep (Pittsburgh Sleep Quality Index (PSQI)), quality of life (SF12), Osteoarthritis severity (Western Ontario and McMaster Universities (WOMAC)), patients responders 30 % and 50 % and safety.;Primary end point(s): Time to response to treatment defined as a 30% reduction in dynamic brush-induced mechanical allodynia on the localized pain area during the chronological period extending from inclusion to 3 months. Outcome defined as censored data and treated using appropriate statistical methods (Kaplan-Meier for univariate analysis and Cox proportional hazards model in multivariate context). ;Timepoint(s) of evaluation of this end point: Inclusion (Day 0), Visit 2 (Day 7), Visit 3 (Day 15), Visit 4 (month 1), Visit 5 (Month 2), Visit 6 (Month 3) | — |
Secondary
| Measure | Time frame |
|---|---|
| Secondary end point(s): Kinetics of evolution over time of the allodynic symptoms (pressure, hot, cold) obtained in both groups (Placebo and 5LP). 2) Analysis (quantitative and qualitative) of the pathophysiology of neuropathic characteristics and DN4 questionnaire (at inclusion only) 3) Evolution of the size of the allodynic area 4) Responder rate, defined as 30% and 50% reduction over time on all allodynic symptoms 5) Comparison of DMA, MDT, CDT and WDT to contralateral knee on the same anatomic location. 6) Evolution of sleep and quality of life, patient global impression of change, osteoarthritis severity 7) Compliance with treatment 8) Safety and Adverse events ;Timepoint(s) of evaluation of this end point: Inclusion (Jour 0), Visite 2 (Jour 7), Visite 3 (Jour 15), Visite 4 (Mois 1), Visite 5 (Mois 2), Visite 6 (Mois 3) | — |
