ABSTRACT of OSTEOARTHRITIS PAIN STUDY

Summary:
T-test analyses of data demonstrated a moderate decrease in pain after two hours for both the study and placebo groups and a significant decrease in pain in only the study group after two days of treatment, supporting the hypothesis of a significant decrease in reported pain of subjects receiving treatment of topically applied Goode Wraps HexTape as compared to subjects receiving placebo therapy.
Osteoarthritis, a chronic degenerative joint disease affecting an estimated 16 million Americans, produces symptoms of joint pain and stiffness. Symptom abatement by traditional therapies is often ineffective and/or harmful to OA patients. These patients seek alternative therapies which are safe, effective, and provide a measure of self-care.
Results:
A double-blind, placebo quasi-experimental design was used to study the effects of topically applied HexTapes adhesive on osteoarthritis pain of 47 adult subjects. Self-administration of the Short Form McGill Pain Questionnaire was used to measure pain prior to treatment, two hours after treatment, and two days after initiation of treatment. Orem’s Theory of Self-Care was the theoretical basis for this study.
T-test analyses of data demonstrated a moderate decrease in pain after two hours for both the study and placebo groups and a significant decrease in pain in only the study group after two days of treatment, supporting the hypothesis of a significant decrease in reported pain of subjects receiving treatment of topically applied Goode Wraps tape as compared to subjects receiving placebo therapy.
Implications for nursing practice, education , and research were included. Informed integration of alternative therapies, as well as mainstream therapies, is appropriate within the holistic-focused care and educative role of the NP and in the self-care role of the client in management of chronic disorders. Inclusion of alternative therapies in nursing education at the undergraduate and graduate/NP levels is recommended. This is consistent with recommendations by the National Organization of Nurse Practitioner Faculties and the Office of Alternative Medicine at the NIH. Further research is recommended with different populations, other sites of application, and to determine Goode Wraps mechanism of action
