Improving outcomes for patients with knee osteoarthritis pain
A sequenced-strategy for improving outcomes in patients with knee osteoarthritis pain
['FUNDING_OTHER'] · JOHNS HOPKINS UNIVERSITY · NIH-10700013
This study is looking at different ways to help older adults with knee osteoarthritis feel better, by comparing online therapy and certain medications to regular care, and if those don’t work, it will also check out some non-surgical options to improve their pain and daily life.

What this research studies
This research investigates effective treatments for knee osteoarthritis (KOA), a condition that causes chronic pain and disability in older adults. It aims to compare the effectiveness of behavioral therapies, like online cognitive behavioral therapy, and non-opioid medications against standard care. If patients do not respond to these initial treatments, the study will also explore the benefits of nonsurgical procedures. The goal is to provide better pain management options and improve the quality of life for those suffering from KOA.
Who could benefit from this research
Good fit: Ideal candidates for this research are older adults suffering from knee osteoarthritis pain who are seeking non-surgical treatment options.
Not a fit: Patients with knee osteoarthritis who have already undergone surgical interventions may not benefit from this research.
Why it matters
Potential benefit: If successful, this research could lead to more effective pain management strategies for patients with knee osteoarthritis, reducing reliance on opioids.
How similar studies have performed: Previous research has shown promise in using behavioral therapies and non-opioid treatments for managing chronic pain, indicating that this approach could be effective.
