Implementation of telemedicine for knee osteoarthritis: study protocol for a randomized controlled trial

DiscussionThis trial is intended to test the application of GOHT in the chronic management in knee OA. The hypothesis is that OA patients may receive disease management via this network platform conveniently and effectively, especially those in the remote areas of our country. GOHT telemedicine would be an attractive alternative to traditional methods for disease management in knee OA. The results could provide preliminary experiences and guidance for an upcoming full-scale randomized controlled trial (RCT) in disease management via telemedicine.Trial registrationChiCTR:ChiCTR1800014465.
