Laser vs. electric patch: which eases knee pain best?
NCT ID NCT07666061
First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026
Summary
This study will compare two treatments—low-level laser therapy and iontophoresis (a method that uses a mild electric current to deliver medication through the skin)—for knee osteoarthritis. Sixty-six adults aged 45 to 65 with mild to moderate knee arthritis will be randomly assigned to one of the two treatments or standard physical therapy. The goal is to see which approach reduces pain and improves knee function best.

Our plain-language read of the trial. This is informational only — not medical advice or a prediction.
Active substance
Low-level laser therapy and iontophoresis (with dexamethasone)
What this could lead to
If successful, this could show that laser therapy or iontophoresis is a better option for easing knee osteoarthritis pain and improving mobility.
What could go wrong
This is a small, early-stage trial with only 66 people. Results may not apply to everyone, and neither treatment may prove clearly better than standard physical therapy.
