简要总结
This randomized controlled trial investigates the effect of Platelet-Rich Plasma (PRP) combined with a supervised strengthening exercise program on pain and functional outcomes in knee osteoarthritis (OA). The experimental group will receive three intra-articular PRP injections and participate in an 8-week supervised exercise program. The control group will only undergo the exercise program. Primary and secondary outcomes will include pain intensity (Numeric Pain Rating Scale), functional performance (WOMAC), range of motion, muscle strength (digital dynamometer), and functional mobility (Timed Up and Go). Inclusion criteria involve individuals aged 50+ with mild to moderate knee OA.
