Light therapy device for pain after knee replacement surgery
Part of Brain & nervous system, Pain clinical trials.
This study tests a light therapy device called OLIZ that is placed on the skin to help reduce pain after knee replacement surgery. It may offer a drug-free option for managing pain after your operation.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You must be between 19 and 79 years old.
- Before your knee replacement surgery, an X-ray must show severe osteoarthritis (grade 4) in the knee that is being replaced.
- After the surgery, your knee pain must be at least 50 out of 100 on a standard pain scale.
- You cannot have had any other surgery on that same knee before the total knee replacement.
- You must not have any skin conditions or be taking medicines that make your skin sensitive to light, and you must not have an implanted electronic device (like a pacemaker).
- You must agree to avoid other pain treatments not allowed by the study and to follow the study procedures.

This study tests a special light therapy called photobiomodulation (light applied to the skin) to reduce pain after knee replacement surgery. You would receive this treatment on your knee after surgery, and it aims to help you recover with less pain and fewer opioids.
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 a special light therapy (called photobiomodulation) can reduce knee pain and inflammation in people with knee osteoarthritis. If you qualify, you might receive either active light therapy or a sham (inactive) treatment to see if it helps with your chronic knee pain.
This study tests whether a special laser treatment can help improve recovery after knee replacement surgery. If you're still having pain after your surgery, this treatment might help you recover faster and with less discomfort.
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.
This study tests whether using a laser device at home can help reduce knee pain and improve function in people with knee osteoarthritis. You would use the device yourself over several weeks to see if it eases your symptoms.
