Design outcomes

Primary

MeasureTime frameDescription
Change in weight-bearing knee pain measured using the Visual Analog Scale(VAS)6 WeeksPain will be measured using a 10-cm Visual Analog Scale (VAS), with scores ranging from 0 (no pain) to 10 (worst imaginable pain)

Secondary

MeasureTime frameDescription
Change in weight-bearing knee pain measured using the Visual Analog Scale(VAS)2 weeks, 4 weeksPain will be measured using a 10-cm Visual Analog Scale (VAS), with scores ranging from 0 (no pain) to 10 (worst imaginable pain)
Change in total K-WOMAC (Korean Western Ontario and McMaster Universities Osteoarthritis Index) score from baseline2 weeks, 4 weeks, 6 weeksThe K-WOMAC consists of 24 items, with each item scored on a 5-point scale (0 = none, 1 = mild, 2 = moderate, 3 = severe, 4 = very severe), where higher scores indicate greater symptom severity
