Synergic Effects of Ultrasound and Laser on the Pain Relief and Functionality in Women With Hand or Knee Osteoarthritis.
In Brief
A Phase 2 clinical trial evaluating Ultrasound plus Laser and therapeutic exercise, Ultrasound plus Laser, and 1 other intervention for Osteoarthritis. Completed, enrolled 90 participants across 1 site.
Detailed Summary
There are several therapeutic effects of the ultrasound (US) or low level laser therapy (LLLT), including pain relief, increase of microcirculation, modulation of inflammatory response and accelerated tissue repair. The investigators hypothesis was that a combination of US, LLLT and therapeutic exercise may maximize clinical outcome.
