Health Aids for Knee Osteoarthritis
This study is looking at different ways to help people with knee osteoarthritis (a condition causing pain and stiffness in the knee joint) understand their condition and treatment options better. Many people with knee osteoarthritis believe their symptoms mean their joint is constantly being damaged, which can affect their choices. This study will compare three approaches during a routine doctor's visit: a Health Aid, which helps correct common misunderstandings about knee osteoarthritis; a Decision Aid, which provides information about treatment options; and usual care. The main goal is to see if the Health Aid can improve your understanding of knee osteoarthritis right after your visit. You might be able to join if you are a new patient seeking care for knee osteoarthritis, are between 18 and 89 years old, and can read English. The study aims to include 159 participants, but its current status is unclear.
- Study design
- This is an interventional study that plans to enroll 159 participants. It compares three different approaches: a Health Aid, a Decision Aid, and usual care.
- What's involved
- Patients will review either a Health Aid or a Decision Aid during their visit with a musculoskeletal specialist. The primary endpoint is measured once, immediately following this consultation.
- Compensation
- Not stated in the trial record.
- Follow-up
- Your understanding of knee osteoarthritis will be measured immediately after your consultation with the specialist.

What this trial measures
- Post-visit misconception scoreMeasured once, immediately following consultation with the musculoskeletal specialist
Difference in post-visit misconception scores among patients with knee osteoarthritis randomized to a health aid, decision aid, or usual care group. Scores range from 0 to 16, with higher scores indicating a more accurate understanding of knee osteoarthritis.
