Summary
Osteoarthritis is a degenerative disease affecting joint cartilage and its surrounding tissue. It is the leading cause of disability in the elderly. Photobiomodulation (PBM), has been used widely for alleviation of pain, reduction of inflammation, and acceleration of wound healing, and particularly to treat knee osteoarthritis (KOA). The purpose of the current study is to determine if a near-infrared PBM device (B-Cure Laser), applied at home, by the patient or personal caregiver in a real-life situation, can reduce pain and improve functionality in patients with KOA.
