TEAM Trial Summary

This trial will test if these new ways of supporting patients with osteoarthritis leads to better outcomes. We will follow patients for two years to find out.

Who is the study for?

This study is for people aged 40-74 with mild to moderate osteoarthritis, as determined by a specialized clinic. Participants must be able to follow the study plan and have internet access. It's not for those awaiting or who've had joint replacement surgery, have inflammatory arthritis, unstable medical conditions like uncontrolled diabetes, or can't communicate in English.Check my eligibility

What is being tested?

The TEAM Study tests how technology and doctor-prescribed physical activity can help manage osteoarthritis without surgery. Patients will either get usual care resources, a physical activity prescription from their doctor, or both the prescription and access to an educational website with exercise videos.See study design

What are the potential side effects?

Since this trial focuses on non-operative care involving education and prescribed exercises rather than medication or surgical interventions, side effects are minimal but may include typical exercise-related discomforts such as muscle soreness.
