Frequently Asked Questions
Are my characteristics compatible with the criteria to participate in this experiment?
"For this osteoarthritis research project, 100 individuals aged 18 to 90 are being sought. Candidates must be free of systemic disorders which could jeopardise their safety; have ample donor tissue around their blood vessels and extracellular matrixes; and possess the maturity necessary to abide by treatment plans as well as fulfil post-treatment tracking requirements." - Anonymous Online Contributor
Is this clinical trial actively enrolling participants?
"Confirmed, this medical study is still seeking participants. It has been listed on clinicaltrials.gov since January 10th 2020 and was last revised in April of 2022." - Anonymous Online Contributor
What outcomes is this medical research attempting to demonstrate?
"The primary aim of this research is to evaluate the effect of Participant with Complications over Baseline, 6 months and 1 year. Secondary goals encompass assessing Foot and Ankle Disability Index (FADI) for changes in disability caused by pain and function; Knee Injury & Osteoarthritis Outcome Score (KOOS) determining knee health through gauging levels of pain from osteoarthritis; as well as Foot & Ankle Ability Measure (FAAM), which monitors shifts in discomfort, range-of-motion, and performance." - Anonymous Online Contributor
Is there an age limit to participation in this experiment?
"This research protocol is open to any individuals aged 18 and below 90." - Anonymous Online Contributor
How many people have enrolled in this medical experiment?
"Yes, the pertinent data hosted on clinicaltrials.gov confirms that recruitment for this medical study is ongoing. The information was initially posted on October 1st 2020 and most recently updated on April 7th 2022. This experiment necessitates the enrolment of 100 individuals at two distinct sites." - Anonymous Online Contributor
