Sustained Acoustic Medicine for Osteoarthritis Pain

This study is comparing Sustained Acoustic Medicine (SAM), a wearable ultrasound device worn on the skin, to a topical pain relief gel for managing joint pain caused by osteoarthritis. Researchers are measuring how much pain relief and improvement in function each treatment provides over the study period. You may be eligible if you are 35 to 85 years old, have mild to moderate osteoarthritis of the knee, shoulder, elbow, ankle, hip, or spine diagnosed by a physician, and report pain that regularly affects your quality of life. Participation involves self-administering your assigned treatment daily at home and not using other interventional pain treatments during the study period. This summary was prepared using AI to help patients understand this research.
