简要总结
The aim of this study is to evaluate the effects of high intensity laser therapy (HILT) on range of motion, pain, quality of life, muscle strength and femoral cartilage thickness in patients with knee osteoarthritis.
详细描述
Patients who are admitted and diagnosed with knee osteoarthritis based on anamnesis, physical examination and imaging methods are included in the study.

结局指标
主要结局
Visual Analog Scale (VAS) Change from baseline in pain on the VAS at month 3
时间窗: Baseline and month 3
Visual Analog Scale (VAS) is used to measure and monitor the intensity of pain. This is a 10 cm ruler that describes painlessness at one end and the most severe pain at the other. A patient scores his/her pain from 0 to 10.
次要结局
- Knee joint range of motion Change from baseline in knee joint on the measuring the range of motion at knee joint at month 3(Baseline and month 3)
- Femoral cartilage thickness Change from baseline in knee joint on the measuring the femoral cartilage thickness at month 3(Baseline and month 3)
- Isokinetic muscle strength measurement Change from baseline in knee joint on the measuring the isokinetic muscle strength at month 3(Baseline and month 3)
- Western OntarioMacMaster (WOMAC) Change from baseline in pain and physical functions on Western OntarioMacMaster scale at month 3(Baseline and month 3)
- SF-36 quality of life scale Change from baseline in physical and mental functions on SF-36 quality of life scale at month 3(Baseline and month 3)
