Exercise programs for knee osteoarthritis pain
Part of Bones, joints & muscles, Brain & nervous system clinical trials.
This study compares two exercise programs—the Otago program and a neuromuscular exercise program—to see which is better at improving knee pain and physical function in people with knee osteoarthritis. It lasts six weeks, with two sessions each week.

This study compares two exercise programs for knee osteoarthritis: the Egoscue method alone, and Egoscue combined with another therapy called MWM. It aims to see if adding MWM provides extra pain relief and better function.
This study tests a specific set of posture and movement exercises (called Egoscue exercises) to see if they help reduce knee pain and improve function in people with knee osteoarthritis. If you are in the right age range and have moderate knee arthritis, these exercises might be a drug-free way to help your knees feel better.
This study tests whether specific exercises can reduce knee pain and improve daily function in people with knee osteoarthritis. If you join, you'll do supervised exercises and may feel better moving around.
This study looks at how moving your arms and legs might help reduce pain for people with knee osteoarthritis. If you join, you will do some light exercise so researchers can see if it helps your knee feel better.
This trial tests whether a yoga program can improve daily function in people with knee osteoarthritis. It may help reduce pain and stiffness while improving mobility.
This study tests whether combining resisted exercise with kinesiology taping (a special tape placed on the skin) can help reduce knee pain and improve daily movement in people with knee osteoarthritis. It aims to see if these treatments together work better than just one alone.
