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
Quick eligibility check

This study tests whether gentle nerve gliding exercises can reduce knee pain and improve function in people with knee osteoarthritis. It may be an option if you have mild to moderate knee arthritis and are looking for a non-drug treatment.
This study compares two ways of moving the knee joint to reduce pain and improve function in people with knee osteoarthritis. You will either do the joint mobilization yourself at home or have a physical therapist do it for you, and both groups will also do exercises. The goal is to see if self-applied techniques work as well as those done by a therapist.
This study compares two types of physical therapy exercises for knee osteoarthritis: one focuses on relaxing specific muscles around the knee (the iliotibial band and pes anserine), and the other focuses on balance and body awareness (proprioception). Both may help reduce pain and improve knee function.
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.
This study compares two ways of moving the knee during physical therapy to see which better reduces pain and improves function in knee osteoarthritis. It might help you if you have moderate knee pain and stiffness.
This trial tests whether a nerve pain medication called pregabalin, applied through ultrasound waves to your knee, combined with gentle movement exercises, can reduce pain in advanced knee osteoarthritis. You'll attend 16 treatment sessions over 4 weeks to see if this combination helps.
