Hyaluronic Acid in Overuse Knee Pain

Study Overview
=================
Brief Summary
-----------------
Sports activity represents part of day living people, a knee pain originated by high demand joint activity could represent a limitation to continue sports. The aim of this clinical trial is demonstrate the effects of hyaluronic acid in sportsmen with knee pain.

Detailed Description
-----------------
Sports activities have become a fundamental part of our daily life, this has led to an overuse of load joints, being the knee the most relevant. Overuse injuries of the knee result from microtrauma associated with physical activity and exercise that exceeds the strength of the cartilage tissue. The purpose of this study is to evaluate the usefulness and safety of hyaluronic acid in athlete patients with knee overuse syndrome. Investigators hypothesis is that hyaluronic acid y safe and can improve symptoms of knee pain in sports patients. . Scores recorder data will be made at 15 days, then at 3 and 6 months after two knee injections of hyaluronic acid with sorbitol (Synolis VA). Synolis VA is a viscoelastic, sterile, non-pyrogenic, isotonic, buffered solution of 2% hyaluronic acid. The hyaluronic acid used in synolis VA is obtained from bacterial fermentation and has a high molecular weight of 2 mdaltons, it has a neutral pH of 6.8 - 7.4 like synovial fluid. High concentration and high molecular weight of hyaluronic acid combined with sorbitol limits its degradation and confers the capacity of viscoelastic solution to restore joint lubrication and shock absorption properties. This research protocol has been approve by the ethics and research Institutional committee in ISSEMyM Tlalnepantla Estado de Mexico number: CEI/0504/PI./2022. All participants must sign a informed consent to confirm be part fo this study.

Arms and Interventions

| Participant Group/Arm | Intervention/Treatment |

What is the study measuring?
-----------------
Primary Outcome Measures

| Outcome Measure | Measure Description | Time Frame |
| --- | --- | --- |
| Efficacy of Hyaluronic acid with sorbitol (SYNOLIS VA ®) in overuse knee syndrome assessed with the knee injury and osteoarthritis outcome score | To demonstrate that two doses of intra-articular injection of Synolis VA® for the overuse knee syndrome in sportsmen decrease the pain during spots and day-living activities by measured the improvement of knee symptoms through the KOOS score: - The Knee injury and Osteoarthritis Outcome Score: Evaluate Symptoms + Stiffness subtotal, Pain, Function, daily living, sports and recreational activities and quality of life. Each variable has a percentage score from 0 to 100%, at the end the results are averaged, obtaining a final percentage where 100% means the greatest pain and knee discomfort and 0% means the knee is healthy and without discomfort. | 6 Months | 
| Efficacy of Hyaluronic acid with sorbitol (SYNOLIS VA ®) in overuse knee syndrome assessed with the International Knee Documentation Committee score | Demonstrate that two doses of intra-articular injection of Synolis VA® for the overuse knee syndrome in sportsmen improves the perception of functionality in the knee of athletes through the IKDC questionaire - The International Knee Documentation Committee: Contains sections on knee symptoms, function, and sports activities. Scores range from 0 points (lowest level of function or highest level of symptoms) to 100 points (highest level of function and lowest level of symptoms). 0 is the lowest score and 87 is the highest corresponding to 100%. | 6 Months | 

Secondary Outcome Measures

| Outcome Measure | Measure Description | Time Frame |
| --- | --- | --- |
| Safety of Hyaluronic acid with sorbitol (SYNOLIS VA ®) in overuse knee syndrome by the number of adverse effects in participants. | Evaluate the SYNOLIS VA ® safety after two doses of intra articular injection by tracking the number of patient withdrawals and their adverse events including: skin irritation, knee redness, local pain for more than 24 hours, edema for more than 48 hours and itching at the application site. | 6 months |
