Biofeedback vs foam roller for knee osteoarthritis
Part of Bones, joints & muscles clinical trials.
This trial compares two non-surgical therapies—pressure biofeedback and foam rolling—to see which better reduces pain, improves muscle function, and boosts quality of life in people with early-stage knee osteoarthritis.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.

This study tests if gentle, slow Feldenkrais movement exercises can reduce knee pain and improve mobility in people with moderate knee osteoarthritis. It is designed for those who are still able to walk and get up from the floor, but are experiencing significant pain.
This study tests two hands-on treatments for knee osteoarthritis: foot massage (reflexology) and gentle joint movement (Mulligan mobilization). It may help reduce pain and improve knee function.
This study compares two treatments for knee osteoarthritis: weighted dangling exercises and neuromuscular electrical stimulation of the knee muscle. It aims to see which one reduces pain and improves function better.
This study tests if using a special cuff to slightly reduce blood flow while doing gentle exercises can help reduce knee pain and improve function in people with knee osteoarthritis. It may offer a way to get stronger without heavy weights.
This study tests whether a special training method called blood flow restriction (BFR)—which uses a cuff to safely limit blood flow while you exercise—can help reduce knee osteoarthritis pain and improve function. You'll do supervised exercises three times a week for 8 weeks.
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.
