Summary

This study tested whether a simple daily thigh exercise done at home can reduce knee pain in older adults with osteoarthritis. Fifty people aged 65 and older with chronic knee pain did short muscle contractions for 28 days. Some also used topical creams (like CBD or arnica) to see if they helped. The main goal was to measure pain changes and see if this low-cost approach is safe and practical for future larger studies.
