OSTEOARTHRITIS (OA)

Knee Pain?

CLINICAL RESEARCH STUDY

Enrollment Closed

COOLIEF™

and

Hyaluronic Acid

The Lyman ​Medical Research Foundation is conducting a study to measure the effectiveness of two  non-surgical treatments for Osteoarthritis Knee Pain. Both treatments are approved by the FDA and are currently available to you outside of the study. This study does not introduce any experimental procedures. In technical terms, we are comparing COOLIEF™ with Hyaluronic Acid (HA).

​

Those who qualify for this study will be randomized to one of the two treatments. Those who initially receive HA may also qualify to receive COOLIEF™ after six months. ​​

How much does it cost?

Participants in the study will receive trial-related medical care and treatment at no cost. You may be billed for your initial visit.

What is the time commitment?

If you are selected to take part in this study you will be enrolled for approximately 13 months. Periodic visits to our office in Coeur d'Alene, ID are required in for this clinical trial.

Thank you for your interest. We will contact you.
