SKOAP Study Updates

Minnesota’s AM950 KTNF recently hosted an in-depth conversation around the treatment of knee osteoarthritis and the large, NIH SKOAP Study, a multi-center, multi-phased study.

Host Ken Haglind led the conversation on the “Living Healthy and Aging Well” radio show. He was joined by a group from the Department of Anesthesiology at the University of Minnesota deeply involved with the SKOAP study:

• Clarence Shannon, MD, Pain Program Director and Site Principal Investigator for the SKOAP study
• Candace Nelson, Clinical Research Manager
• Alicia Bulleri, Clinical Research Coordinator from the Dept. of Anesthesiology
