NCT ID NCT07482410
First seen Jun 26, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026 · Updated 1 time
Summary
This study looks at whether combining two types of exercises—Feldenkrais and active release—with standard physical therapy can help people with knee osteoarthritis feel less pain and move better. Forty adults aged 40 to 60 with mild to moderate knee OA will do these exercises three times a week for six weeks. Researchers will measure changes in pain, range of motion, and daily function.
What this could mean
Our plain-language read of the trial. This is informational only — not medical advice or a prediction.
Active substance
Feldenkrais exercises and active release exercises combined with standard physical therapy
What this could lead to
If it works, this could offer a non-drug way to reduce pain and improve knee movement for people with knee osteoarthritis.
What could go wrong
This is a small, early-stage trial with only 40 participants, so results may not apply to everyone. The exercises may not provide lasting relief or work for more severe cases.
