First seen Jan 08, 2026 · Last updated May 14, 2026 · Updated 21 times

Summary

This study tests whether a special gel containing etodolac, applied to the skin, can improve pain and movement when added to standard physical therapy for knee osteoarthritis. Thirty adults aged 45-60 with mild to moderate knee arthritis will be split into two groups: one gets physiotherapy alone, the other gets physiotherapy plus the gel. The goal is to see if the gel helps reduce pain and improve knee function better than therapy alone.
