Knee Osteoarthritis Therapy: Diagonal Movement Patterns
Part of Bones, joints & muscles clinical trials.
This trial tests a type of physical therapy called proprioceptive neuromuscular facilitation for people with knee osteoarthritis. It may help reduce pain and improve how well your knee works.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are between 40 and 60 years old
- You have been diagnosed with knee osteoarthritis (one or both knees)
- Your osteoarthritis is grade 2 or 3 (moderate) on the Kellgren-Lawrence scale
- Your knee pain has been present for more than 3 months and is at least moderate (over 3.4 on a 0–10 pain scale)
- You have not had any knee surgery or joint replacement, and you don't have other knee problems like severe deformity, ligament tear, or infection

This trial tests a gentle stretching technique for the femoral nerve to see if it can reduce pain and improve function in people with early-stage knee osteoarthritis. It may offer a non-drug treatment option.
This trial tests whether a special knee brace that reduces weight-bearing stress, combined with strengthening exercises, helps reduce pain and improve function in people with moderate knee arthritis. It aims to see if this non-surgical approach can help you move better and hurt less.
This study tests two types of gentle physical therapy exercises to see which works better for reducing knee pain and improving movement in people with knee osteoarthritis. It may be a good option if you have moderate knee pain and haven't had knee surgery.
This study compares two hands-on therapy techniques (Mulligan and Kaltenborn mobilizations) to see which works better for reducing pain and improving movement in people with knee osteoarthritis. If you have mild to moderate knee pain and are between 40 and 70, this trial may help you find a gentler treatment option.
This study tests whether a program combining exercise with lessons on how your brain processes pain can improve knee function and brain activity in people with knee osteoarthritis. It may help you move better and feel less pain.
This study tests whether a structured physical therapy program helps knee arthritis pain and function. Researchers will also look at how your expectations about treatment affect your results.
