Exercise and electrical stimulation for knee arthritis
Part of Bones, joints & muscles clinical trials.
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.
