Testing tecar therapy for chronic knee osteoarthritis
Part of Bones, joints & muscles, Pain clinical trials.
This trial tests whether tecar therapy, a type of heat-based treatment, can reduce pain and improve function in people with chronic knee osteoarthritis. If you have had knee pain for at least 6 weeks and are between 40 and 75 years old, this study might be a good fit.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You have been diagnosed with knee osteoarthritis at a moderate stage (grade 2 or 3 on a scale of 1 to 4).
- You have pain in both knees that has lasted at least 6 weeks.
- You are between 40 and 75 years old.
- You have not had physical therapy, steroid shots, hyaluronic acid injections, or PRP injections in your knee in the last 6 months.
- You have not had any knee surgery, and you do not have inflammatory arthritis or other serious health issues like a pacemaker or active cancer.

This study tests a type of therapy called Tecar therapy for people with long-term neck pain (lasting 3 months or more). It aims to see if it helps reduce pain and improve function better than standard care.
This trial tests if a type of radiofrequency treatment (TECAR therapy) can reduce pain and improve function and quality of life for people with low back pain caused by a herniated disc. It involves an exercise program along with the treatment.
This study tests whether TECAR therapy—a heat-based treatment using special equipment—can reduce knee pain, improve balance, and enhance quality of life in older men with mild to moderate knee osteoarthritis. TECAR uses radiofrequency energy to gently warm deep knee tissues.
This trial tests whether Tecar therapy (a type of heat treatment) can reduce leg pain caused by a pinched nerve in the lower back. It's for people with one-sided leg pain that has lasted between 6 weeks and 6 months.
This trial tests whether Tecar therapy—a type of heat treatment using electrical energy—can help heal calf muscle strains in athletes aged 16–39. The study measures whether this therapy, combined with exercise, reduces pain and restores function.
This study tests whether TECAR therapy—a heat-based treatment that uses electrical energy—can reduce neck pain and improve movement in people with chronic neck stiffness. TECAR stands for capacitive and resistive energy transfer, a non-invasive technique that may help relieve pain and restore mobility.
