Evaluation of NMES Therapy for Pain Relief Associated With Knee Osteoarthritis

A roll-over study of the current CM-2019 trial to assess the same preplanned outcomes of CM-2019 at 14 weeks.

This roll-over study is designed as a 14-week treatment continuation from CM-2019 (parent study), a randomized, sham controlled, double-blind, multi-center study trial to evaluate the efficacy of CyMedica Orthopedics e-vive™ system, a multifunctional electrotherapy device providing neuromuscular electrical stimulation (NMES) as an adjunctive therapy for pain relief and accelerating functional recovery in patients with knee osteoarthritis. This follow-up trial will include subjects who have been randomized into the CM-2019 trial. Subjects will be enrolled into the appropriate treatment group based upon the treatment received in the parent study. It is hypothesized that the continued use of CyMedica e-vive NMES may provide additional pain relief and improved knee function for an additional 14 weeks compared to sham.
