The Efficacy of Interferential Current Treatment on Knee Osteoarthritis: A Randomized Double Blind Study That Compares the Effects of Different Carrier Frequencies

• Status: Completed
• Phase: N/A
• Study type: Interventional
• Enrollment: 61 (actual)
• Sponsor: Ege University · Academic / Other
• Sex: All
• Age: 50 Years – 80 Years
• Healthy volunteers: Not accepted

Summary

The effects of different carrier frequencies of interferential current on pain and function in patients with knee arthrosis will be compared

Detailed description

60 patients with knee osteoarhthritis will be enrolled in the study. Subjects will be randomized to 3 groups. All patients will receive interferential currents to both their knees, with different carrier frequencies (2, 4 and 8 kilohertz (kHz) respectively). The effect of different types of carrier frequencies on pain, 10 meter walk test will be analysed.

Conditions

• Knee Osteoarthritis

Interventions

Type	Name	Description
DEVICE	Interferential current	An electrotherapy current with different carrier frequencies
