NCT ID NCT07434011

First seen Jun 25, 2026 · Last updated Jun 25, 2026

Summary

This study tests whether an AI-assisted web app that personalizes home exercises can reduce pain and improve knee function in people with knee osteoarthritis, compared to a standard paper exercise program. About 84 adults with knee pain will be randomly assigned to either the AI app or paper program for 6 weeks. Researchers will measure pain, disability, quality of life, and how well participants stick with the program.
