UPDATED - 28 January 2022
(Search coding updated to SNOMED codes & New instructions. Update to Pop-up Instructions to include SNOMED trigger code list)
NOTE FOR GP SITES: to avoid the potential of inadvertently identifying patients without knee pain, please use the SNOMED version of the search shared below. If you have used the READ coded version of the search, but have not contacted patients yet, please re-start the patient ID process using the SNOMED search.
A multi-centre, primary care, randomised, parallel-group, superiority trial (with internal pilot) to evaluate the effectiveness of bracing in the management of symptomatic knee osteoarthritis: the PROP OA trial. AIM(S) OF THE RESEARCH: To show whether wearing a knee brace provides more relief for people with painful osteoarthritis of the knee than just having best primary care (education, advice and exercise), and whether this is good value for money for the NHS.
