A Randomized, Pragmatic, Effectiveness Trial Evaluating Intra-articular Hyaluronan for the Symptomatic Treatment of Chronic Patellofemoral Pain Syndrome
In Brief
A clinical study evaluating Intra-Articular Hyaluronic Acid-Euflexxa for Patellofemoral Pain Syndrome. Completed, enrolled 30 participants across 1 site.
Detailed Summary
The purpose of this study is to determine the safety and effectiveness of intra-articular hyaluronan (IAHA) injections for the treatment of symptomatic patellofemoral pain syndrome (PFPS) and determine if this treatment can provide incremental clinical benefits over standard care for patients with this diagnosis.
Study Details
Timeline
Interventions
IAHA was approved by the FDA in 1997 as a synovial fluid replacement device to help relieve the pain associated with knee osteoarthritis (OA) in patients who fail to respond adequately to conservative treatment and simple analgesics. In this study, IAHA, specifically Euflexxa, will be used off-label to determine whether patients afflicted with PFPS will experience similar analgesic effects as seen in those with OA.
