Summary

This study tests whether adding shock wave therapy to knee exercises reduces pain and improves function better than exercises alone in people with knee osteoarthritis. About 40 adults with moderate knee pain will participate during a hospital stay, receiving either exercises plus weekly shock waves or exercises only for three weeks. The goal is to find a non-drug, non-surgical way to ease symptoms and improve daily life.
