| Pain intensity | The primary endpoint of this clinical investigation is the change from baseline of pain intensity measured by Visual Analogue Scale (VAS) at Day 4, i.e., after 3 days of treatment. The VAS was chosen for the pain evaluation since it is a simple, quick and easy to use scale, suitable for different populations, such as adults and elderly individuals. Pain intensity will be measured using a 0-100 mm VAS. | At home from Day 1 to Day 4. |

Percent change and change from baseline of pain intensity measured by VAS. The Visual Analogue Scale was chosen for the pain evaluation since it is a simple, quick and easy to use scale, suitable for different populations, such as adults and elderly individuals. |
| At 8 and 16 h post-application; From Day 1 to Day 7 |
| Functional levels and joint health measured (%) | Percent change and change from baseline in functional levels and joint health measured by Knee Injury and Osteoarthritis Outcome (KOOS) questionnaire at final visit. The questionnaire is an established patient-reported outcome instrument commonly used in clinical research. It is utilized to measure the changes in patient's health status in a standardized way. The questionnaire was chosen since adequate to both older and younger patients, able to combine short and long-term outcomes in a meaningful way and self-administered to patients through a questionnaire. The format is user-friendly and it takes about 10 minutes to fill-in. The standard KOOS questionnaire foresees 5 dimensions: pain, symptoms, activity of daily living, sport and recreation, quality of life. The sport, recreation dimension will not be assessed in this clinical investigation because we expect the enrolment of many elderly patients, for whom this section would not be applicable. The pain is already evaluatedby VAS. | At 8 day (final visit) |
| Health status evaluation | Results of the overall health status evaluation performed by the Investigator by the CGI-I scale (Clinical Globally Impression - Improvement). This scale was selected since it is a simple, brief and stand-alone method allowing the clinician to assessing treatment response and overall improvement or worsening of the health conditions in clinical study participants. Sensorial perceptions and subject's satisfaction will be evaluated using questionnaires specifically designed for this purpose for this clinical investigation. CGI-I scale including 7 levels of achieved improvement/worsening (final visit/ETV). | At final visit (Day 8). |
| Safety evaluation | Adverse events (AEs), including serious adverse events/serious device effects and special situations. Device deficiencies that might have led to a serious adverse event and any new findings. | From day 0 to day 8. |
