Overview

Randomized controlled trial shows improved pain and functional ability in knee osteoarthritis patients with high-intensity laser therapy, highlighting its therapeutic potential.

Key Points

  • Combination of high-intensity laser therapy and physical exercise significantly reduced pain in knee osteoarthritis patients.
  • Visual Analogue Scale scores indicated significant pain improvement in the intervention group compared to control at week 4.
  • Randomized controlled trial involved 30 patients, comparing outcomes of added high-intensity laser therapy during physical exercise.
  • Study supports the use of high-intensity laser therapy, but further research is needed to explore muscle strength outcomes.
