Effects of Ultrasound and Infrared on Joint Pain and Movement in Hemophilia A Patients.

NCT ID: NCT07116993

Last Updated: 2025-08-12

Basic Information

• Recruitment Status: COMPLETED
• Clinical Phase: NA
• Total Enrollment: 30 participants
• Study Classification: INTERVENTIONAL
• Study Start Date: 2024-03-01
• Study Completion Date: 2024-06-15

Brief Summary

The study aims to compare the effectiveness of therapeutic ultrasound and infrared in managing hemarthrosis in patients with Hemophilia A, focusing on specific outcomes like joint pain, swelling, muscle atrophy, and range of motion.The main question to it is either one from both of the modalities are effective for hemophilia patients or not? comparison will be done to check the effectiveness of ultrasound and infrared on patients of both groups.

participants will:

1. get the treatment according to their respective groups

2. Both groups were given 4 sessions for 4 weeks.

Detailed Description

The data collection was started by the consent of the participants through the consent form. Then we randomly divided the patients into Group A and Group B. Group A participants were given Ultrasound therapy for 10 minutes with intensity of 1.5 W/m2 along with the conventional physiotherapy as well as home plan. Group B participants were given Infrared therapy for 10 minutes with moderate intensity along with the conventional physiotherapy as well as home plan. Both groups were given 4 sessions for 4 weeks.

Conditions

Hemophilia A

Study Design

• Allocation Method: RANDOMIZED
• Intervention Model: PARALLEL
• Primary Study Purpose: TREATMENT
• Blinding Strategy: SINGLE

Study Groups

ultrasound

ultrasound group containing 15 participants who were given ultrasound therapy for 10 minutes along with the conventional physiotherapy.

Group Type: EXPERIMENTAL

theraputic ultrasound

Intervention Type: DEVICE

Ultrasound is a mechanical sound wave with frequencies above human hearing, requiring a medium like air or tissue to travel, commonly used in imaging.

infrared radiation

infrared radiation group containing 15 participants who were treated with infrared therapy for 10 minutes along with the conventional physiotherapy.

Group Type: EXPERIMENTAL

infrared radiation

Intervention Type: DEVICE

Infrared, in contrast, is electromagnetic radiation associated with heat, doesn't need a medium, and is used in applications like thermal imaging and remote controls.
