Development of a Bedside Pain Assessment Kit for Evaluating Effectiveness of Drugs for Osteoarthritis

Develop and test a bedside testing kit for evaluating pain and symptoms of osteoarthritis

Conduct a Focus group of subjects with painful osteoarthritis of the knee to evaluate
potential kit for acceptability to subjects and investigators, and usability, clarity of
instructions, appropriateness of the data capture, simplicity, subject and investigator
burden, and overall impressions of the procedures.

Conduct a reliability and usability study with subjects with painful osteoarthritis of the
knee to determine Intra-rater reliability, Inter-rater reliability, Kit reliability.
