OBJECTIVE: To determine whether (diagnostic and interventional) ultrasound imaging can be used to provide visual feedback affecting treatment outcome ( @entity158 and disability). DESIGN: Controlled clinical trial. SUBJECTS: A total of 52 @entity1 with (ultrasonographically confirmed) symptomatic @entity8060 were enrolled. METHODS: The cysts were drained under ultrasound guidance and, if necessary, @entity228 injections were given on the follow-up visit. In group I (n   =   26) the @entity1 did not observe the procedures on the ultrasound (US) screen. In group II (n   =   26) the US images/videos were shown and explained to the @entity1 . The @entity1 were included in one of the groups consecutively, unless they refused the protocol of that group. Treatment outcome was assessed via US measurements, aspirate volumes, visual analogue scale (VAS) (knee @entity158 , procedure discomfort), Western Ontario and McMaster Universities @entity571 Index (WOMAC), @entity3232 ( @entity3232 ), Kellgren-Lawrence grading scale, Hospital Anxiety and @entity308 Scale, and @entity1443 intake. RESULTS: The 2 groups were similar regarding US measurements, aspirate volume and @entity1443 use (p-values >   0.05). In both groups all VAS (p   <   0.001) and WOMAC (p   <   0.05) scores decreased after treatment. Although initial VAS and WOMAC scores were similar between the groups, all VAS/WOMAC scores, except VAS-2, WOMAC-2 @entity158 , and WOMAC-3 stiffness, were significantly lower in group II (all p   <   0.05). Initial @entity3232 scores were similar between the groups; however, group II had significantly lower scores at visits 2 and 3. CONCLUSION: In @entity1 with @entity8060 (diagnostic/interventional) US imaging can be used as a simple means of visual biofeedback, favourably affecting the treatment outcome ( @entity158 and disability).
