NCT ID NCT07402408
First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jul 21, 2026 · Updated 2 times
Summary
This study compares two ways to restrict blood flow during exercise—using a special floss band or a traditional cuff—to see which better reduces pain and improves movement in people with knee osteoarthritis. 46 adults aged 40-60 with mild to moderate knee OA will do leg exercises with one of the two methods. The goal is to find a safer, low-load way to strengthen the knee and ease symptoms.
