About Osteoarthritis of the Knee
Osteoarthritis is the most common form of inflammatory arthritis. It can cause pain in the surrounding area. In some cases, bony growths may develop due to the cartilage deteriorating, causing stiffness.
Symptoms of osteoarthritis of the knee include:
- Pain / Tenderness in the knees
- Stiffness
- Loss of Flexibility
- Grating Sensation
- Bone Spurs
Although there is no cure for the condition, there are some medications available to help manage the symptoms, such as pain and inflammation caused by the condition.
Frequently Asked Questions
What is a clinical research study?
A Clinical Research Study (also called a clinical trial) is a medical study that helps answer important questions about an investigational drug or device, such as: does it work, or how effective is it compared to another drug/device?
All medications must be tested in clinical research studies before they can be approved by regulatory authorities for doctors to prescribe to patients. Without people taking part in these studies, we would have no new treatments. The volunteers who participate in clinical research studies play a major role in helping to advance medicine.
