研究组 & 干预措施
CRYOTHERAPY INTERVENTION
Patients with end stage knee osteoarthritis, both sexes, 60 years or higher
干预措施: Cryotherapy (Other)
结局指标
主要结局
Visual Analogue Scale (Pain scale)
时间窗: Change between the baseline assessments and the Post intervention (Sixth week), 3 week follow up (9th week), 6 week follow up (12th week)
VAS is a well recognized tool to measure the intensity of pain that visually represents the intensity of pain that the individual believes to present. The scale will be positioned in front of the individual and will have a range of 0 to 10 cm, with 0 being the complete absence of pain and 10, the maximum intensity of pain reported by the individual.
