Laser therapy for knee osteoarthritis
Part of Bones, joints & muscles, Pain clinical trials.
This trial tests if high-intensity laser therapy can reduce pain and improve function in people with mild-to-moderate knee osteoarthritis. It may be an option for those who haven't had knee replacement surgery and can attend physical therapy sessions.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
