TECAR therapy for knee pain and balance in older men
Part of Bones, joints & muscles clinical trials.
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.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You have mild or moderate knee osteoarthritis (wear and tear of the knee) confirmed by X-ray, not severe arthritis
- Your knee pain has lasted at least 6 months
- You can walk on your own, with or without a cane or walker
- You do not have a pacemaker or metal implants in your knee
- You have not had knee injections (steroid, PRP, or hyaluronic acid) in the past 3 months

Other trials that look related to this one.
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 doing Tai Chi (a gentle exercise) remotely from home, twice a week for 12 weeks, can help reduce knee pain and improve function in people with knee osteoarthritis. You would be assigned to either the Tai Chi group or a routine care group that avoids Tai Chi during the study.
This study compares a movement therapy called Basic Body Awareness Therapy to usual care for people with knee osteoarthritis. It aims to see if this therapy can improve pain, movement, and quality of life.
This trial tests whether combining resisted exercise (strengthening movements) with kinesiology taping (a special tape placed on the skin) can help reduce pain and improve daily activities like walking and climbing stairs for people with knee osteoarthritis.
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.
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.
