NCT ID NCT07399743
First seen Jun 24, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026 · Updated 1 time
Summary
This study compares two add-on treatments for knee osteoarthritis in overweight women: walking on an anti-gravity treadmill that unloads the joints, or taking alpha-lipoic acid and omega-3 supplements. Both aim to reduce pain and improve function better than standard physical therapy alone. The trial will enroll 160 women aged 20-45 with mild to moderate knee osteoarthritis.
