• Status: Unknown
• Phase: N/A
• Study type: Interventional
• Enrollment: 60 (actual)
• Sponsor: October 6 University · Academic / Other
• Sex: All
• Age: 45 Years – 60 Years
• Healthy volunteers: Not accepted

Summary

The study will be conducted to answer the following questions: * Is there an effect of phonophoresis using glucosamine on pain level , function and range of motion in knee osteoarthritis patients ? * Is there an effect of phonophoresis using chitosan on pain level , function and range of motion in knee osteoarthritis patients ? * Is there a difference between the effect of phonophoresis using glucosamine and phonophoresis using chitosan on pain level , function and range of motion in knee osteoarthritis patients ?

Conditions

• Knee Osteoarthritis
• Knee Arthritis

Interventions

Type	Name	Description
DEVICE	Phonophoresis with chitosan	Patients in this group will receive chitosan through phonophoresis plus conventional treatment. For the phonophoresis parameters: pulsed ultrasonic waves (25%) of 1 MHz frequency and 1 W/cm2 intensity applied with a 5 cm diameter transducer. The total time of ultrasound application was eight minutes.Patients will also receive conventional Physical therapy program
DEVICE	Phonophoresis with glucoasmine	Patients in this group will receive glucosamine through phonophoresis plus conventional treatment. For the phonophoresis parameters: pulsed ultrasonic waves (25%) of 1 MHz frequency and 1 W/cm2 intensity applied with a 5 cm diameter transducer. The total time of ultrasound application was eight minutes.Patients will also receive conventional Physical therapy program.
PROCEDURE	Conventional Physical Therapy	Patients in the control group will receive the conventional treatment for knee osteoarthritis only, which will include the application of TENS, pulsed ultrasound, infrared light and exercise.
