A Clinical Trial to Evaluate the Safety and Effectiveness of OLIZ, a Photobiomodulation Medical Device for Surgical Site Pain Relief in Patients After Total Knee Arthroplasty
This multicenter, controlled, randomized clinical trial is designed to evaluate the safety and effectiveness of "OLIZ," a medical device that utilizes combined-wavelength photobiomodulation (PBM) therapy, for relieving postoperative pain at the surgical site in patients undergoing total knee arthroplasty (TKA). Photobiomodulation therapy employs specific wavelengths of light to modulate biological processes at the cellular level, such as reducing inflammation, enhancing microcirculation, and promoting tissue repair. OLIZ delivers dual-wavelength light in the red and near-infrared spectrum, targeting key cellular pathways involved in postoperative pain and recovery. Participants in the study will be randomly assigned to receive either the active PBM treatment using OILZ or a control intervention. Treatment will begin within 3 days after surgery and continue for a defined period based on the postoperative care protocol. VAS, WOMAC, and recovery metrics will be monitored at multiple time points during the inpatient stay and follow-up period. The study also aims to assess the safety of repeated PBM exposure in a post-surgical setting by evaluating local and systemic adverse events. Through this trial, investigators seek to generate robust clinical evidence to support the use of OLIZ as a non-pharmacologic modality for pain management and recovery enhancement in TKA patients.

OLIZ device utilizes dual-wavelength technology combining specific red (660nm) and near-infrared (850nm) light parameters optimized for post-surgical tissue healing. The device features controlled power density, precise treatment duration protocols, and targeted application to knee arthroplasty surgical sites. Treatment parameters include specific irradiance levels, treatment session duration of 15 minutes, and 3 times of daily application frequency designed.
Change in VAS Pain Score
Primary efficacy endpoint measuring the change in pain intensity using Visual Analog Scale from baseline to 11 weeks post-baseline. VAS scores range from 0mm (no pain) to 100mm (worst possible pain).
Time frame: Baseline and 11 weeks post-baseline
Change in VAS Pain Score at 5 weeks
Secondary efficacy endpoint measuring the change in pain intensity using Visual Analog Scale from baseline to 5 weeks post-baseline. VAS scores range from 0mm (no pain) to 100mm (worst possible pain).
Time frame: Baseline and 5 weeks post-baseline
Change from baseline in WOMAC total score at Week 5 and Week 11
The Western Ontario and McMaster Universities Osteoarthritis Index (WOMAC) total score assesses pain, stiffness, and physical function. The change from baseline to Week 5 and Week 11 post-surgery will be measured to evaluate the effectiveness of the intervention on postoperative recovery.
Time frame: Baseline, Week 5, and Week 11 post-surgery
Change from baseline in knee joint range of motion (ROM) at Week 5 and Week 11
Range of motion (ROM) of the knee joint, including flexion and extension, will be measured using a goniometer. The change in ROM from baseline to Week 5 and Week 11 post-surgery will be assessed to evaluate the effect of the intervention on functional recovery.
Time frame: Baseline, Week 5, and Week 11 post-surgery
Change from baseline in the cumulative dose of rescue and prescribed analgesic medications at Week 5 and Week 11
The total cumulative dose (in mg) of prescribed and rescue analgesic medications (e.g., acetaminophen, NSAIDs, opioids) taken by each participant will be recorded. The change from baseline to Week 5 and Week 11 will be assessed to evaluate the effect of the intervention on the need for pharmacologic pain management.
