Part of Bones, joints & muscles, Pain clinical trials.
This trial tests whether a special light therapy (photobiomodulation) can help reduce pain and speed healing after total knee replacement. If you're having knee replacement and don't have complications like infection or open wounds, you may be eligible.

This study tests whether shining a special light on the knee after surgery can reduce pain. It's for people having their first knee replacement due to osteoarthritis.
This trial tests if a special light treatment (photobiomodulation) can reduce inflammation and chronic pain in people with knee osteoarthritis. It may be an option if you have had knee pain for at least 3 months and are 50 or older.
This study tests whether high-intensity laser therapy can help reduce pain and improve movement after knee replacement surgery. Laser therapy is a non-invasive treatment that uses focused light to potentially reduce swelling and speed up healing.
This study tests if light therapy can reduce knee pain and swelling (synovitis) caused by arthritis. If you have long-lasting knee pain and arthritis, this treatment might offer a non-drug option to help you feel better.
