About the study/project
The most common growth-related injury is Osgood Schlatter, which affects up to 1 in 5 physically active adolescents. It can cause long-term pain and potential discontinuation of sports and physical activity, with sequela well into adulthood. No effective treatments have been documented, and clinical practice is characterized by a wealth of conflicting advice and modalities. A novel treatment approach has shown promising results in a small single-cohort study. Therefore, investigating if this novel approach is superior to standardized usual care is highly warranted.
Purpose of the study/project
The primary aim of the SOGOOD trial, is to investigate the effect of 3 months of a novel treatment approach compared to standardized usual care after 5 months, measured on the self-reported KOOS-child ‘Sport/rec’ subscale, in adolescents with Osgood Schlatter.
