Overview
Brief Summary
The purpose of this study is to examine the effect of magnetic field application used in the treatment of patellofemoral pain.
Detailed Description
The aim of this randomized controlled study is to examine the effect of magnetic field application used in the treatment of patellofemoral pain. The main question it aims to answer is; Is magnetic field therapy applied in addition to conventional treatment effective in reducing pain in individuals with Patellofemoral pain syndrome?

Outcomes
Primary Outcomes
Visual Analogue Scale (VAS)
Time Frame: The evaluation will be applied at the beginning of the treatment program.
A Visual Analogue Scale (VAS) is one of the pain rating scales.Scores are recorded by making a handwritten mark on a 10-cm line that represents a continuum between "no pain" and "worst pain.
The Lower Extremity Functional Scale (LEFS)
Time Frame: The evaluation will be applied at the beginning of the treatment program.
The Lower Extremity Functional Scale (LEFS) is a questionnaire containing 20 questions about a person's ability to perform everyday tasks. The LEFS can be used by clinicians as a measure of patients' initial function, ongoing progress and outcome, as well as to set functional goals.
36-Item Short Form Survey (SF-36)
Time Frame: The evaluation will be applied at the beginning of the treatment program.
The SF-36 is a 36-item self-report measure of health-related quality of life. It has eight subscales measuring different domains of health-related quality of life: physical functioning (PF), role-physical (RP), bodily pain (BP), general health (GH), vitality (VT), social functioning (SF), role-emotional (RE), and mental health (MH).
Manual Muscle Test
Time Frame: The evaluation will be applied at the beginning of the treatment program.
Manual muscle testing is based on the physiotherapist manually applying resistance to the muscle or muscle group to be evaluated.
