This study has no listed site in Canada in this snapshot. It is included as part of the worldwide chronic pain corpus.
Brief summary (from the registry)
The knee pain status of the patients who are followed in the rheumatology special branch of the Physical Medicine and Rehabilitation Outpatient Clinic and who meet the inclusion criteria will be questioned. In patients with or without knee pain, the cartilage thickness measurement of the knee joint will be measured from 3 points by ultrasound. At the same time, Quadriceps and Hamstring muscle thickness measurements of the patients will be made from the midpoints where the muscle thickness is the highest. The physician who performed the ultrasonographic measurements of the knee pain status of the patients does not know.
