Not Applicable

Completed

• Conditions: Juvenile Idiopathic Arthritis

• Registration Number: NCT06226012
• Lead Sponsor: Shrouk Abd Elmohsen Taha Basiony Elnhrawy

Brief Summary

the purpose of this study is to compare between the effect of pulsed magnetic field versus low level laser therapy on functional performance in children with juvenile idiopathic arthritis

Detailed Description

This study directed to investigate effect of pulsed magnetic field versus low level laser therapy on functional performance in children with juvenile idiopathic arthritis children with juvenile idiopathic arthritis suffer from some problems such as pain, swelling and limited motion in knee joints here in this study i used these devices to help in solving these problems pain was measured by visual analogue scale swelling was measured by tape measurement and Range of motion was measured by digital geniometre

Primary Outcome Measures

Name	Time	Method
Swelling	3 months	We used Tape Measurement to measure Swelling
Sensation of Pain	3 months	we used Visual Analogue Scale (VAS) to measure pain. the scale ranged from 0 to 10. ( 0 means no pain and 10 means maximum pain
Range of motion	3 months	we used digital geniometer to measure range of motion
