Summary
This study investigates whether adding High-Intensity Laser Therapy (HILT) to standard physiotherapy helps people with mild-to-moderate knee osteoarthritis. Seventy-two participants will receive either real or sham laser sessions alongside exercise-based physiotherapy. Researchers will measure pain, knee function, strength, and quality of life over eight weeks to see if the laser provides extra relief.

What this could lead to
If effective, HILT could offer a non-drug, non-surgical option to reduce pain and improve mobility in people with knee osteoarthritis.
What could go wrong
This is a small, early-stage trial with 72 participants. The laser may not provide more benefit than placebo, and results may not apply to severe cases.
