NCT ID: NCT02012413 Completed - Clinical trials for Patella Chondromalacia

Effect of Pulsed Signal Therapy in Patella Chondromalacia

Start date: November 2012
Phase: N/A
Study type: Interventional

PST (pulsed signal therapy) is a unique form of pulsed electromagnetic field therapy (PEMF) for stimulating healing of damaged structures such as cartilage, bones and soft tissues. The physical effect of the pulsed electromagnetic field (PEMF) has been focus of research in various studies, with cartilage being the most studied, and which has demonstrated an increase in the synthesis of proteoglican and collagen in vitro. This is an randomized, controlled and double blind clinical trial. The main objective is to evaluate clinical improvement regarding anterior knee pain after PST intervention in patients with patellar condropathy.
