PRIMARY outcome

Timeframe: Baseline and end of week 4

Population: Per protocol (all patients who completed the WOMAC"pain walking on a flat surface " question at baseline and follow up visit at week 4 will be included for analysis of this endpoint. Among the 419 patients with follow up visit data, 27 patients rated 0 in their VAS pain score at baseline and were excluded from this analysis.

SECONDARY outcome

Timeframe: Baseline and Week 4

Population: Only patients with baseline and week 4 data were included in this analysis of change

The change from baseline in 3 domain scores (pain, stiffness, and difficult in doing daily activity) of WOMAC at week 4 were measured. Each domain comprises of questions and VAS scales for scoring. For pain domain, 0 represents no pain and 100 represents extreme pain; for stiffness domain, 0 represents no stiffness and 100 represents extreme stiffness; for difficult in doing daily activity domain, 0 represents no difficulty and 100 represents most difficulty.

SECONDARY outcome

Timeframe: Baseline and Week 4

Population: 22 patients who reported side effects at baseline and week 4 were included in "side effect" evaluation.

TSQM consists of four domains (effectiveness; side effect; convenience and overall satisfaction), domain scores ranged from 0 (0=worst) to 100 (100=best) were derived from converting the original Likert's scales to VAS scale.
