New study tests nerve stretching for knee arthritis relief

This study looks at whether adding a gentle nerve-stretching technique (femoral nerve mobilization) to standard physical therapy can reduce pain and improve daily function in people with knee osteoarthritis. Fifty adults aged 50 and older with mild to moderate knee arthritis will be randomly assigned to receive either physical therapy alone or physical therapy plus the nerve treatment. The goal is to see if this approach helps with pain, movement, and quality of life.
