Study Summary

This trial will compare two different ways of treating knee osteoarthritis. All subjects will receive a standardized approach recommended by the Department of Defense and Veterans Administration. Follow-up will occur over a 1 year period.

Who is the study for?

This trial is for TRICARE beneficiaries aged 18-60 with knee pain and a diagnosis of knee osteoarthritis, who can attend treatment sessions over a month. It's not for those who've had recent invasive knee treatments, consulted a surgeon in the past year, or have conditions like severe neurologic disorders or systemic diseases that could explain their knee pain.Check my eligibility

What is being tested?

The study compares two non-surgical treatments for managing knee osteoarthritis over one year. Everyone gets standard care based on DoD/VA guidelines; some also get additional physical therapy (PT). The goal is to see if adding PT improves outcomes.See study design

What are the potential side effects?

Since this trial involves non-surgical methods like guideline-based care and physical therapy, side effects may include muscle soreness or discomfort from exercises. No drug-related side effects are expected.

Experimental Treatment

Active Control

Group I: DoD/VA CPG Core Set + PTExperimental Treatment2 Interventions

In addition to DoD/VA clinical practice guidelines, patients will be referred to physical therapy (PT). Physical therapy will consist of evidence-based interventions that can be provided by a PT (exercise, manual therapy, education).

Group II: DoD/VA CPG Core SetActive Control1 Intervention

The standard core set of interventions recommended by the DoD/VA clinical practice guidelines for non-surgical management of knee OA.
