original publication.
This study has been identified as potentially high impact.
OE's AI-driven High Impact metric estimates the influence a paper is likely to have by integrating signals from both the journal in which it is published and the scientific content of the article itself.
Developed using state-of-the-art natural language processing, the OE High Impact model more accurately predicts a study's future citation performance than journal impact factor alone.
This enables earlier recognition of clinically meaningful research and helps readers focus on articles most likely to shape future practice.
A randomised trial of a brace for patellofemoral osteoarthritis targeting knee pain and bone marrow lesions
Ann Rheum Dis. 2015 Jun;74(6):1164-70126 patients with symptomatic, Kellgren-Lawrence grade II-III, patellofemoral osteoarthritis were randomized to treatment with or without a patellofemoral brace for 6 weeks. The purpose of this study was to compare outcomes of pain during activity, function, and MRI-assessed bone marrow lesion volume at 6 weeks. The results demonstrated a significantly lower visual analog scale (VAS) pain during activity and a higher score for activities of daily living on the Knee Injury and Osteoarthritis Outcome Score (KOOS) in the brace group compared to control group. Patellofemoral bone marrow lesion volume after 6 weeks was significantly lower in the brace group compared to control group, while there was no significant difference in tibiofemoral bone marrow lesion volume between groups at 6 weeks.
