App-Based therapy aims to tackle knee pain without pills
NCT ID NCT07769593
First seen Aug 18, 2026 · Last updated Aug 18, 2026
Summary
This study tests whether a digital therapeutic called MORA Cure can reduce knee pain in adults over 50 with knee osteoarthritis and anterior knee pain. Participants use a mobile app for 8 weeks that provides personalized exercises and cognitive behavioral therapy content. The app also tracks symptoms and movement to adjust the program. The goal is to see if this app-based approach improves pain and function, offering a potential non-drug option for managing osteoarthritis.
