Effects of Exercise Versus Topical Agents on Knee Osteoarthritis

Status Not yet recruiting

Clinical Trial Summary

Osteoarthritis, a chronic and degenerative joint disease, is the most common type of arthritis and affects more than 300 million adults worldwide. Osteoarthritis, which is characterized by joint pain and stiffness, has negative consequences for function, participation and quality of life, which are important components of health. The knee joint is the most common joint in terms of osteoarthritis and is more common in individuals over 50 years of age. There is no proven definitive treatment in today's literature for common osteoarthritis, which is one of the important causes of the global disease burden. However, since it is a progressive disease with varying degrees of severity, it is a chronic problem that requires long-term treatment. According to current clinical guidelines prepared by the working groups of the International Osteoarthritis Research Society (OARSI) and the European Society for Clinical and Economic Aspects of Osteoporosis, Osteoarthritis and Musculoskeletal Diseases ESCEO , treatment typically includes physiotherapy interventions with the use of non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs) and analgesics, including intra-articular injections of corticosteroids; In more severe cases, joint replacement surgery is recommended. The aim of this research project is to examine the effectiveness of a supervised exercise program applied in combination with NSAID-specific topical agents, in comparison with groups receiving only topical agents or only exercise treatments.

Clinical Trial Description

Voluntary participants who have been diagnosed with knee osteoarthritis will be included in the study. Signed voluntary consent will be obtained from participants. Participants will be divided into tree groups. Study groups will be as follows: a) exercise, b) exercise & topical agent, c) topical agent. ;
