A summary of all measures collected in the trial are shown in Table 4. Outcome measures have been selected based on those recommended for clinical trials of OA [ 44].
Outcome measures have been selected based on those recommended for clinical trials of OA [ 19, 20].
Outcome measures have been selected based on those recommended for clinical trials of knee OA [ 35, 36].
The outcome measures have been selected based on those recommended for clinical trials in patients with hand OA [ 34, 35], and consist of a combination of patient self-reported outcomes and performance tests.
Data estimates are based on those available in published randomized controlled trials and may not reflect real-world practice (e.g., overestimated effects or compliance from experimental trial data).
This standard was based on one trial for all exercises.
Nevertheless, the observed results are consistent with those based on all trials and may be due to lack of statistical power.
Finally, the transformation of the adjudication system into one based on trials inevitably raises the question of the appointment of judges and the amount of autonomy they will have.
First, findings of this prospective, open-label, uncontrolled, observational study better reflect actual clinical practice conditions than those based on randomized, controlled trials and therefore may be more generalizable to routine ophthalmology practices.
But these results are based on two trials of only 29 patients.
