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 therapies: reflexology (gentle pressure on your feet) and a type of joint mobilization called Mulligan. These may help reduce knee pain and improve movement in people with mild to moderate knee osteoarthritis.
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 whether wrapping a special band around the knee (tissue flossing) plus doing specific exercises can reduce pain and improve movement in people with mild knee osteoarthritis. It may help you move better with less discomfort.
This study tests a brain-training technique called neurofeedback to see if it can reduce pain from knee osteoarthritis. It might help people who have had knee pain for more than 3 months and are looking for a non-drug option.
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.
