Brief summary
This clinical investigation aims to investigate the safety and performance of Sensovisc.Sensovisc is used to reduce osteoarthritis related pain in the joints by supporting synovial fluid by intra-articular injection and allowing the synovial fluid to restore its viscoelastic properties. It increases the joint mobility by reducing or eliminating the pain.
Detailed description
Osteoarthritis (OA) is the most prevalent chronic arthritis and a leading cause of pain and disability among adults. OA is a degenerative joint disease characterized by chronic inflammation, cartilage degradation and erosion of underlying bone in the affected joints, predominantly affects knees, significantly impacting patient mobility and quality of life. • Although there are currently no approved disease-modifying OA drugs (DMOADs), nonpharmacologic interventions, such as physical therapy and weight management, and pharmaceutical approaches are available to reduce or revise joint damage and inflammation.• Among various therapeutic interventions, intra-articular hyaluronic acid (HA) injections have emerged as an alternative promising treatment. Emerging evidence suggests that HA may exert chondroprotective effects by enhancing synovial fluid viscosity, improving joint lubrication, and mitigating inflammatory processes, thereby potentially decelerating disease progression and preserving cartilage integrity.
Interventions
Sensovisc is used to reduce osteoarthritis related pain in the joints by supporting synovial fluid by intra-articular injection and allowing the synovial fluid to restore its viscoelastic properties. It increases the joint mobility by reducing or eliminating the pain. It will be injected in hip joint in this investigation. The injection will be administered under fluoroscopic and ultrasound guidance.

Design outcomes
Primary
| Measure | Time frame | Description |
|---|---|---|
| Visual Analogue Scale (VAS) | Baseline | VAS at rest: Measures pain intensity while resting. Scale 0-10 cm (0 = no pain, 10 = worst imaginable pain). Higher scores = worse pain at rest. VAS at night: Measures pain intensity during the night, especially disturbing sleep. Scale 0-10 cm. Higher scores = worse nocturnal pain. VAS during activity: Measures pain intensity during movement or activity. Scale 0-10 cm. Higher scores = worse pain on activity. |
| Change in Visual Analogue Scale (VAS) score from baseline at 6 weeks | 6 weeks after the injection | VAS at rest: Measures pain intensity while resting. Scale 0-10 cm (0 = no pain, 10 = worst imaginable pain). Higher scores = worse pain at rest. VAS at night: Measures pain intensity during the night, especially disturbing sleep. Scale 0-10 cm. Higher scores = worse nocturnal pain. VAS during activity: Measures pain intensity during movement or activity. Scale 0-10 cm. Higher scores = worse pain on activity. |

| WOMAC Osteoarthritis Index | Baseline | The WOMAC Index is a self-administered questionnaire designed to evaluate symptoms and functional limitations in hip and knee osteoarthritis. It has 3 subscales: Pain (0-20) Stiffness (0-8) Physical function (0-68) The total score ranges from 0 to 96, with higher scores indicating worse pain, stiffness, and functional impairment. |

| Harris Hip Score (HHS) | Baseline | It is a clinician-administered tool used to assess hip pain, function, deformity, and range of motion, with a total score ranging from 0 to 100 (higher scores indicate better function). Scores are categorized as excellent (90-100), good (80-89), fair (70-79), and poor (\<70). The HHS will be used to evaluate hip function before and after the intervention. |

Scores are categorized as excellent (90-100), good (80-89), fair (70-79), and poor (\<70). The HHS will be used to evaluate hip function before and after the intervention. |
