Long-term Effects of the Addition of Diathermy by Emission of Radiofrequency to Therapeutic Exercise in Patellofemoral Pain Syndrome Patients

Patellofemoral Pain Syndrome Clinical Trial

Official title:
Non-invasive Radiofrequency Diathermy and Supervised Therapeutic Exercise in Patellofemoral Pain Syndrome. A Single Blind Randomized Controlled Trial With a Six-month Follow-up

Clinical Trial Summary

Introduction: the management of Patellofemoral Pain (PFP) is focused on therapeutic exercise (TE) to improve muscle strength and motor control. Recent studies suggest that the addition of radiofrequency diathermy (RFD) obtain greater short-term improvements in knee pain than TE alone. As there is no follow up data, the aim of this research is to assess the long-term effects of adding RFD to TE on pain, function and quality of life on PFP patients. Methods: a single-blind randomized controlled trial will be conducted. Participants diagnosed of PFP will be allocated in either a TE group or a RFD+TE one. Sociodemographic data, knee pain, and lower limb function will be collected. Each group will performed 20 min of daily knee and hip supervised TE along three weeks with the addition of ten sessions of RFD for the RFD+TE group.
