Brief Summary
Review the sponsor-provided synopsis that highlights what the study is about and why it is being conducted.
The aim of this study was to compare the effectiveness of two different therapeutic ultrasound techniques in patients with knee osteoarthritis. Participants with knee osteoarthritis received therapeutic ultrasound treatment using one of two application techniques according to a predefined treatment protocol. Clinical outcomes related to pain and functional status were evaluated before and after treatment.
This completed study provides information on whether different ultrasound application techniques lead to differences in clinical outcomes in patients with knee osteoarthritis and may help guide clinical decision-making in rehabilitation practice.

Detailed Description
Dive into the extended narrative that explains the scientific background, objectives, and procedures in greater depth.
Eligible participants with knee osteoarthritis were allocated into treatment groups according to the predefined study protocol. Therapeutic ultrasound was applied using two different techniques under standardized treatment parameters. All participants received treatment sessions over a defined treatment period.
Clinical outcome measures related to pain intensity and functional status were assessed at baseline and after completion of the treatment protocol. Outcome assessments were performed by an evaluator blinded to group allocation.
The primary objective of the study was to compare the effects of different therapeutic ultrasound techniques on pain reduction and functional improvement in patients with knee osteoarthritis. Secondary objectives included evaluating changes in physical function following treatment.

continius ultrasound group
hot pack,tens,exercise terapy ,continius ultasound
hot pack
superficial heat therapy applied to the knee joınt using hot packs before other pyhsical terapy modalites .Hot packs are applied for approximately 15-20 minutes per session
transcutaneus electrical nerve stimulatıon
TENS is a non-invasive electrical stimulation technique applied through surface electrodes to modulate sensory nerve activity without producing muscle contraction.
exersice terapy
Exercise therapy is a structured, planned, and repetitive physical intervention designed to improve or maintain physical function, mobility, strength, balance, and overall health through targeted therapeutic exercises.
continius ultrasound
Continuous ultrasound is a therapeutic modality in which high-frequency sound waves are delivered continuously to biological tissues to produce predominantly thermal effects, leading to increased tissue temperature, enhanced blood flow, improved tissue extensibility, and pain modulation.

Exercise therapy is a structured, planned, and repetitive physical intervention designed to improve or maintain physical function, mobility, strength, balance, and overall health through targeted therapeutic exercises.
pulsed ultrasound
Pulsed ultrasound is a therapeutic ultrasound modality in which acoustic energy is delivered intermittently rather than continuously, resulting in predominantly non-thermal mechanical effects such as cavitation and acoustic microstreaming that promote tissue healing and reduce inflammation.
