Microcurrent Therapy in the Treatment of Osteoarthritis of the Knee

Status Completed

Clinical Trial Summary

This study evaluates the effect of Microcurrent Therapy in the treatment of osteoarthritis of the knee. Patients will be randomized to four groups: Group 1 and 2 both will receive Microcurrent Therapy, but different currents will be used. Group 3 will receive treatment with the Microcurrent treatment apparatus, but without any current. Group 4 will be a control group without specific interventions.

Clinical Trial Description

The objective of this randomized, controlled pilot study is to evaluate the effect of Microcurrent therapy on pain and physical function in patients with osteoarthritis of the knee. The secondary objective is to compare the effects of different currents. Patients will be randomized to four groups: Group 1 and 2 both will receive Microcurrent Therapy, but different currents will be used. Group 3 will receive treatment with the Microcurrent treatment apparatus, but without any current. Group 4 will be a control group without specific intervention.

Group 1, 2 and 3 will receive 10 sessions of treatment in a treatment phase of four weeks. Assessments for group 1, 2, and 3 will be scheduled for screening (T0), at the first day of treatment (T1), at the end of treatment (T2) and three months after the end of treatment (T3). Group 4 will be assessed at a screening visit T0, at T1, at T2 (approximately 21 days after T1), and at T3 (three months after T2). Patients will be recruited based on the records of the clinic. ;
