Laser therapy for knee arthritis
Part of Bones, joints & muscles, Pain clinical trials.
This study tests whether high-intensity laser therapy can help reduce knee pain and improve movement in people with knee osteoarthritis. If you have mild to moderate knee pain, this treatment might be an option to help you manage your symptoms without surgery.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You have knee osteoarthritis confirmed by a doctor (for example, on an X-ray).
- Your knee pain is mild to moderate, not severe enough to require surgery.
- You rate your knee pain as 4 or more on a 0-10 scale, and it has lasted at least 3 months.
- You are able to take part in physiotherapy sessions.
- You have not had knee replacement, knee surgery, or injections into the knee in the last 3 months.
- You do not have other serious conditions or devices (like cancer, pacemaker, pregnancy, or recent leg injury) that would make the laser treatment unsafe.

This study tests whether high-intensity laser therapy can reduce knee pain and improve cartilage health in people with knee osteoarthritis. It may help if you have had knee pain for at least 3 months and are looking for a non-surgical treatment option.
This study tests a type of laser treatment called HILT to see if it can help reduce knee pain from osteoarthritis. You would attend 3 sessions each week for 4 weeks.
This study tests whether high-intensity laser therapy works better than traditional physical therapy methods for knee osteoarthritis pain and function. You'll be randomly assigned to receive either laser treatments or standard rehabilitation exercises.
This study tests whether low-level laser therapy (a painless, non-surgical treatment using light) can reduce knee pain and improve knee function, cartilage health, and muscle strength in people with moderate knee osteoarthritis. It may be an option if you haven't had recent knee injections or physical therapy.
This study tests whether a special laser treatment can help improve recovery after knee replacement surgery. If you're still having pain after your surgery, this treatment might help you recover faster and with less discomfort.
This study compares two non-invasive treatments—laser therapy and iontophoresis (using a mild electric current to deliver medication through the skin)—to see which works better for knee osteoarthritis pain and function.
