Laser vs electrical therapy for knee arthritis
Part of Bones, joints & muscles, Pain clinical trials.
This study compares two non-drug treatments—laser therapy and a special electrical stimulation—to see which works better for knee arthritis pain. It may help if you have mild to moderate arthritis and haven’t had knee surgery or injections recently.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.

- You are between 45 and 65 years old.
- You have mild to moderate knee arthritis (grade I or II).

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 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.
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 can help reduce cartilage damage and pain in people with moderate knee osteoarthritis. Laser therapy is a non-surgical treatment that uses focused light to potentially reduce inflammation and promote healing.
