By invitation only
Not open to general applications. Only people the study team invites can take part.
Paused
Paused for now. It may or may not start again.
Ongoing
Running, but no longer taking on new participants.
Completed
The trial has finished. Results may not be published yet.
Stopped early
Stopped early, before it reached the end. That can be for many reasons, including safety.

Expanded access (not trials)

Expanded access
Not a trial. This treatment can be requested outside a study, case by case, for people who qualify.
Expanded access (paused)
Not a trial. The treatment can normally be requested outside a study, but is unavailable right now.
Expanded access (ended)
Not a trial. The treatment could once be requested outside a study, but no longer can.

Summary

This study will test whether high-intensity laser therapy, added to standard physiotherapy, can increase knee cartilage thickness and reduce pain in people with knee osteoarthritis. About 58 adults aged 40-60 with moderate knee OA will receive either laser plus physiotherapy or physiotherapy alone for 4 weeks. Researchers will measure cartilage changes with ultrasound and track pain, movement, and daily function.

What this could mean

Our plain-language read of the trial. This is informational only, not medical advice or a prediction.

Active substance
High-Intensity Laser Therapy (HILT) plus conventional physiotherapy
What this could lead to
If it works, this could offer a non-invasive way to ease pain and improve knee function in people with osteoarthritis.
What could go wrong
This is a small, early-stage trial with only 58 participants. It may not show meaningful cartilage changes, and results may not apply to all patients.
