Primary Osteoarthritis | Drug: Zoledronic acid | Phase 4 |
Study Type : | Interventional (Clinical Trial) |
Estimated Enrollment : | 92 participants |
Allocation: | Randomized |
Intervention Model: | Parallel Assignment |
Intervention Model Description: | . Total 92 primary knee OA patients will be enrolled by following the inclusion criteria of ages 50 years and above with primary knee OA informed written consent. Then randomization will be done into group A and group B following a randomization table, each consist of 46 patients. Consecutive sampling technique will be followed. Primary knee OA will be diagnosed on the basis of ACR clinical and radiological criteria. Relevant laboratory investigations will be done. Baseline pain status will be measured by Bangla version of Western Ontario and McMaster Universities Osteoarthritis index (WOMAC), visual analog scale (VAS) and numerical rating scale (NRS) and quality of life will be measure by European quality of life scale (EQ-5D-5L). Then one group will receive single infusion of 5mg zoledronic acid and another group will receive the placebo |
