Overview

Randomized controlled trial shows enhanced pain relief and muscle strength in knee osteoarthritis patients, indicating rTMS is beneficial.

Key Points

  • High-frequency rTMS improved pain and muscle strength in patients with knee osteoarthritis.
  • VAS scores decreased significantly from 3.14 to 1.36 in the experimental group over 12 weeks.
  • The trial used a randomized controlled design with a 12-week intervention period and 48 patients.
  • Results indicate that combining rTMS with strength training may enhance joint function in patients.
