Brief summary
Evaluation of the effect of the AI500™ SINGLE-DOSE GEL medical device in patients with reduced knee function
Detailed description
The aim of this post-market confirmatory interventional clinical investigation is to evaluate the performance and safety of AI500™ SINGLE-DOSE GEL in patients with reduced knee function.
Interventions
DEVICEAI 500™ SINGLE-DOSE GEL
AI500™ SINGLE-DOSE GEL is a hydrogel to be applied to intact skin, intended to provide relief in cases of pain due to tension in muscles and adjacent tissues, to improve movement and function.

Design outcomes
Primary
| Measure | Time frame | Description |
|---|---|---|
| Clinical performance of AI500™ SINGLE DOSE GEL in improving knee function after 1 week | 1 Week | To evaluate the clinical performance of AI500™ SINGLE DOSE GEL in improving knee function after 1 week of treatment, change from baseline (V0) to week 1 (V3) in Western Ontario and McMasters Universities Osteoarthritis Index (WOMAC) Physical Function score will be evaluated. The test questions are scored on a scale of 0-4, which correspond to: None (0), Mild (1), Moderate (2), Severe (3), and Extreme (4). The scores for each subscale are summed up, with a possible score range of 0-20 for Pain, 0-8 for Stiffness, and 0-68 for Physical Function. |
Secondary
| Measure | Time frame | Description |
|---|---|---|
| Clinical performance of AI500™ SINGLE DOSE GEL in improving knee function after 48 hours | 2 days | To evaluate the clinical performance of AI500™ SINGLE DOSE GEL in improving knee function after 48 hours of treatment, change from baseline to 48 hours (V2) in WOMAC Physical Function score will be evaluated. The test questions are scored on a scale of 0-4, which correspond to: None (0), Mild (1), Moderate (2), Severe (3), and Extreme (4). The scores for each subscale are summed up, with a possible score range of 0-20 for Pain, 0-8 for Stiffness, and 0-68 for Physical Function. |
| Clinical performance of AI500™ SINGLE DOSE GEL in alleviating pain after 24h and 48h of treatment. | 2 days | To evaluate the clinical performance of AI500™ SINGLE DOSE GEL in alleviating pain after 24h and 48h of treatment, change in NRS between V0 and V1, and between V0 and V2 will be analysed. NRS Score has a range of 0-10 for pain; 0=no pain; 10=max pain. |
| Safety and Tolerability of AI500™ SINGLE DOSE GEL | 1 week | To evaluate the safety and tolerability of AI500™ SINGLE DOSE GEL, physical examination and adverse events (AEs), including of the relationship of the AE to the IP (e.g., local allergic reaction), will be assessed through the study. Safety and tolerability of the AI500™ will be evaluated through a the completion of a specific questionnaire by the patient, the five-points Likert scale in which 1 means Strongly disagree with the assertion and 5 means Strongly agree |
