This study tested whether the OrthoCor Advanced System, which delivers heat and pulsed electromagnetic field (PEMF) therapy, can reduce pain and improve daily function in people with knee osteoarthritis. Twenty-three adults with knee pain for at least 3 months used the device for…

This study tested a once-weekly injection called retatrutide in 445 people who are overweight or have obesity and also have knee osteoarthritis. The goal was to see if the drug helps with weight loss and reduces knee pain. Participants received either the drug or a placebo for ab…

This study tested a treatment for knee osteoarthritis that combines a gentle, hands-on joint technique (Mulligan's mobilization with movement) with simple isometric exercises. Researchers measured pain, movement, and disability in 50 adults aged 40-65 with moderate knee arthritis…

This study tested a new medicine called LEVI-04 to see if it can reduce pain in people with knee osteoarthritis. About 518 adults with knee pain took either the drug or a placebo. The main goal was to measure pain changes using standard pain scales. The trial is complete, and res…

This study compared sterile amniotic fluid injections to standard corticosteroid shots for knee osteoarthritis. 60 adults with moderate knee arthritis received either treatment, and researchers tracked how many needed extra pain relief within 6 months. The goal was to see if amni…

This study looked at 60 adults aged 40-65 with knee osteoarthritis to see if testing muscle strength while doing a second task (like counting) gives different results than testing strength alone. Researchers measured leg muscle strength, sit-to-stand ability, pain, and joint func…

This study tested a web-based system that creates a personalized care plan for people with knee or hip osteoarthritis. The goal was to help patients and their doctors make more informed decisions about treatments, including whether to have joint replacement surgery. Over 5,700 ad…
