Summary

The purpose of this superiority randomized controlled trial is to evaluate the effect of daily knee sleeve use on 5-year radiographic knee osteoarthritis progression and knee-related symptoms in older adults with chronic knee pain. The investigators will recruit 235 individuals aged 50-64 years at baseline with chronic (≥ 3 months) knee pain, randomized to daily use of an elasticized fabric knee sleeve versus no knee sleeve use. Participants will have knee radiographs at baseline and year 5 and will complete a survey including Knee injury and Osteoarthritis Outcome Score (KOOS) subscales for pain, knee function and quality of life at 3 months and annually. A prespecified interim analysis of the 1-year KOOS subscore data will be performed.
