Description: A syndrome characterized by retropatellar or peripatellar PAIN resulting from physical and biochemical changes in the patellofemoral joint. The pain is most prominent when ascending or descending stairs, squatting, or sitting with flexed knees. There is a lack of consensus on the etiology and treatment. The syndrome is often confused with (or accompanied by) CHONDROMALACIA PATELLAE, the latter describing a pathological condition of the CARTILAGE and not a syndrome.

Drugs and Biologics

Drugs and Important Biological Agents (IBA) related to Patellofemoral Pain Syndrome:

1.	Substance PIBA 01/01/1999 - "The aim of this study was to correlate the distribution of substance-P nerve fibres within the knee joint in 20 patients complaining of anterior knee pain syndrome, with the clinical picture, patellar motion, power of the quadriceps mechanism, and the psychological profile" 11/01/2005 - "Distribution of substance-P nerves inside the infrapatellar fat pad and the adjacent synovial tissue: a neurohistological approach to anterior knee pain syndrome." 01/01/1999 - "Distribution of substance-P nerve fibers in the knee joint in patients with anterior knee pain syndrome" 01/01/1999 - "For lateral retinaculum this relationship was not so statistically strong (P < 0.02) and was equal in comparison between anterior knee pain patients (group I) and group II or group III. There were no statistically significant differences in the distribution of substance-P nerve fibers in the fat pad, lateral and medial retinaculum or synovium between groups II and III. The results of this study provide immunohistochemical evidence suggesting that pain may originate in the fat pad and medial retinaculum of many patients with anterior knee pain syndrome."

2.	Asu(1,6)- argipressin (VAS-A)IBA 01/01/1989 - "The purpose of this study was to determine the reliability and validity of the following outcome measures in a group of 18 patients with patellofemoral pain syndrome: the visual analog pain scale (VAS), a functional index questionnaire (FIQ), selected temporal components of gait on level walking and ascending stairs, knee joint angle on downhill walking, and electromyographic activity of the quadriceps during stair climbing" Get all the results and reference details, order at left...
