Study Summary

Subjects with chronic osteoarthritis of the knee will be assigned to receive an injection of either 1.2% sodium hyaluronate or buffered saline to evaluate its effectiveness and safety for 26 weeks. After 26 weeks, subjects can elect to receive a second injection of 1.2% sodium hyaluronate and be followed for another 26 weeks.

Primary Outcome

A score of 0 millimeters means there was no pain; a score of 100 millimeters means extreme pain. Change from baseline is calculated: week 26 VAS Pain Score - Baseline VAS Pain Score.
