Flossing and exercises for knee osteoarthritis
Part of Bones, joints & muscles, Pain clinical trials.
This study tests whether wrapping a special band around the knee (tissue flossing) plus doing specific exercises can reduce pain and improve movement in people with mild knee osteoarthritis. It may help you move better with less discomfort.

This trial tests whether using a special band to limit blood flow during exercise can help reduce pain and improve movement in people with mild knee osteoarthritis. It may be an option if you have knee pain and stiffness but no other serious health conditions.
This study tests whether a special training method called blood flow restriction (BFR)—which uses a cuff to safely limit blood flow while you exercise—can help reduce knee osteoarthritis pain and improve function. You'll do supervised exercises three times a week for 8 weeks.
This study compares two types of knee exercises (closed chain and open chain) with a special blood flow restriction technique to see which helps reduce pain and improve function in people with mild to moderate knee osteoarthritis.
This study tests if gentle, slow Feldenkrais movement exercises can reduce knee pain and improve mobility in people with moderate knee osteoarthritis. It is designed for those who are still able to walk and get up from the floor, but are experiencing significant pain.
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 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.
