Design outcomes

Primary

MeasureTime frame
Severity of pain in the affected joint. Timepoint: This variable indicates the patient's level of pain in the osteoarthritis joint.It is done before and after 8 weeks. Method of measurement: Pain intensity is measured using a Visual Analog Scale (VAS), which is rated from 0 to 10.;Function of the affected joint. Timepoint: This variable indicates the patient's level of motor and functional ability in daily activities. It is done before and after 8 weeks. Method of measurement: Performance is measured using the validated WOMAC (Western Ontario and McMaster Universities Osteoarthritis Index) questionnaire.

Secondary

MeasureTime frame
Occurrence of skin side effects. Timepoint: In order to assess the safety of the product, all possible skin reactions (such as redness, itching, burning, or inflammation at the site of application of the cream) are recorded and reported by the researcher. Method of measurement: This assessment is done at each follow-up visit.Standard skin reaction monitoring checklist including items to assess the severity of redness, itching, burning, swelling, and other skin reactions.The severity of each reaction is recorded on a 4-point scale:No symptoms - Mild - Moderate - Severe.
