Official title
A Prospective, Randomized, Double-Blind, Placebo Controlled Study to Evaluate Efficacy and Safety of an Active Pulsed Electromagnetic Field for the Treatment of Osteoarthritis of the Knee
Brief summary
Reproduced verbatim from the official ClinicalTrials.gov record. Not medical advice.
The hypothesis of this study is that exposure to PEMF alters the cytokine environment of OA joints associated with a reduction of inflammation and improved homeostasis of the extracellular matrix (ECM), both potentially effecting symptomatic relief of OA pain, reducing cartilage breakdown, stimulate new cartilage formation therefore preserving joint structure.
