Osteoarthritis, Knee

A Pilot Study Assessing the Treatment Responsiveness of a Novel Osteoarthritis Stiffness Scale

Trial purpose

Osteoarthritis is a common, chronic, progressive, skeletal, degenerative disorder that frequently affects several joints such as knee, hip, spine and hands.This placebo-controlled clinical trial assessed the effects of naproxen sodium, acetaminophen and celecoxib on stiffness in subjects with osteoarthritis.

Primary Outcome

  • Sum of change in Brief Arthritis Stiffness Scale (BASS) scores over the 4-day treatment period
    Brief Arthritis Stiffness Scale (BASS) is a patient-reported outcome (PRO) instrument measuring of the severity of osteoarthritis-related stiffness in the target knee joint. The BASS score ranges from 0 to 40 and a higher score indicates worse stiffness. This endpoint was calculated by summing the changes from baseline (CFB) in BASS scores at Days 2, 3, and 4 of the treatment periods.

    4 days

Secondary Outcome

  • Absolute Brief Arthritis Stiffness Scale (BASS) score at each time point
    Brief Arthritis Stiffness Scale (BASS) is a patient-reported outcome (PRO) instrument measuring of the severity of osteoarthritis-related stiffness in the target knee joint. The BASS score ranges from 0 to 40 and a higher score indicates worse stiffness.

  • Change from baseline in Brief Arthritis Stiffness Scale (BASS) score at Day 4
    Brief Arthritis Stiffness Scale (BASS) is a patient-reported outcome (PRO) instrument measuring of the severity of osteoarthritis-related stiffness in the target knee joint. The BASS score ranges from 0 to 40 and a higher score indicates worse stiffness.
