Summary
This study tests whether adding laser therapy to standard physiotherapy and exercise reduces knee osteoarthritis pain more than a sham (fake) laser plus exercise. Sixty-four adults with knee osteoarthritis will receive either real or sham laser treatments twice a week for six weeks. The main goal is to measure pain changes using a standard pain scale.

Active substance
laser therapy (LightForce® Therapy Lasers) plus physiotherapy/exercise
What this could lead to
If it works, this could offer a non-drug, non-surgical option to ease knee osteoarthritis pain.
What could go wrong
This is a small, early-stage study with only 64 participants. The laser may not prove more effective than sham treatment, and results may not apply to all patients.
