Movement therapy for knee osteoarthritis inflammation
Part of Bones, joints & muscles clinical trials.
This study tests whether specific mobilization exercises can reduce inflammation in people with knee osteoarthritis. It aims to see if these movements help lower markers of inflammation and improve pain.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.

This trial compares two types of gentle hand-on treatments to see which one works better for knee osteoarthritis pain and movement. It may help if you have advanced knee osteoarthritis and are looking for non-surgical options.
This study tests two hands-on treatments for knee osteoarthritis: foot massage (reflexology) and gentle joint movement (Mulligan mobilization). It may help reduce pain and improve knee function.
This study tests whether a special hands-on technique (Mulligan mobilization) combined with balance exercises can help people with knee osteoarthritis feel better and move easier. It's for people with mild to moderate knee OA who can walk without help.
This study tests a gentle knee movement therapy (Maitland's mobilization) applied at different points in the knee's range of motion. It may help reduce pain and stiffness for people with moderate knee osteoarthritis.
This study compares doing joint mobilization exercises on your own versus having a clinician do them, in addition to regular knee strengthening exercises. The goal is to see if self-treatment is as effective for managing knee osteoarthritis pain and stiffness.
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.
