New exercise method may ease knee arthritis pain without surgery
NCT ID NCT07642258
First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026
Summary
This study tests whether a special exercise method called Sahrmann's approach can reduce pain and improve knee function better than standard physical therapy in people with knee osteoarthritis. Forty adults aged 40 to 60 with moderate knee arthritis will be assigned to one of two treatment groups. Researchers will measure pain, daily function, and knee alignment before and after treatment to see which approach works best.
