Completed This study
The trial has finished. Results may not be published yet.
Stopped early
Stopped early, before it reached the end. That can be for many reasons, including safety.

Expanded access (not trials)

Expanded access
Not a trial. This treatment can be requested outside a study, case by case, for people who qualify.
Expanded access (paused)
Not a trial. The treatment can normally be requested outside a study, but is unavailable right now.
Expanded access (ended)
Not a trial. The treatment could once be requested outside a study, but no longer can.

Summary

This study tested whether remote, video-call supervised exercise works as well as in-person sessions for people with knee osteoarthritis. 48 participants did muscle-strengthening exercises for 12 weeks, either via video call or at a clinic. Researchers measured pain, function, and quality of life to see if the remote option is a good alternative.

What this could mean

Our plain-language read of the trial. This is informational only, not medical advice or a prediction.

Active substance
supervised muscle-strengthening exercise program
What this could lead to
If successful, this could show that remote exercise supervision is as effective as in-person sessions for managing knee osteoarthritis symptoms.
What could go wrong
This is a small, early-stage trial with only 48 participants. Results may not apply to all patients, and the non-inferiority design means it aims to show equivalence, not superiority.
