This study tests whether adding a gentle electrical current (interferential therapy) to a personalized exercise program can reduce pain and improve function in people with knee osteoarthritis. If you have knee pain from arthritis and have not had physical therapy or certain injections in the past six months, you may be able to join.
This trial tests if learning about chronic pain can help people with knee osteoarthritis feel better. You'll join a program that teaches you about pain and how to manage it.
This trial tests if a structured exercise program can reduce pain and improve daily activities for people with knee osteoarthritis. If you have knee pain and trouble with daily tasks, this study may help you find a low-cost, non-drug way to feel better.
This study compares two types of exercise — aerobic (like walking or cycling) versus specific therapeutic exercises — to see which one better helps people with knee osteoarthritis who do not get pain relief from exercise. It aims to find an exercise plan that reduces knee pain and improves movement.
This study looks at whether adding resistance (strength) exercises to joint mobilization helps people with knee osteoarthritis move better, feel less pain, and get stronger. You'll do standard joint mobilization plus a program of exercises like leg presses and squats.
This study tests whether a special electrical stimulation (called FES) combined with exercise can help strengthen the muscles around your knee. It may reduce pain and improve function for people with moderate knee osteoarthritis.
