Cold Laser Therapy Improves Pain, Function And Quality Of Life for Patients Suffering From Osteoarthritis Knee Pain!
A double-blind, randomized, controlled trial was conducted in patients with knee osteoarthritis (OA) to evaluate the efficacy of low level laser therapy (cold laser therapy) as well as to compare two different laser therapy regimes.
Ninety patients were randomly assigned to three treatment groups by one of the non treating authors by drawing 1 of 90 envelopes. Each of the three groups consisted of 30 patients. Group A received cold laser therapy and exercise. Group B received a few more minutes of cold laser therapy at a different dose along with exercise. Group C received placebo laser treatments and exercise.
Subjects, physician, and data analysts were unaware of the code for active or placebo laser until the data analysis was complete. All patients were evaluated with respect to pain, degree of active knee flexion, duration of morning stiffness, painless walking distance and duration, and the Western Ontario and Mc Master Universities Osteoarthritis Index (WOMAC) at week 0, 6, 10, and 14.
The study found that there were statistically significant improvements indicated with respect to all parameters such as knee pain, function, and quality of life measures in the post-therapy period compared to pre-therapy in both groups that received active cold laser treatments. Improvements in all parameters of Group I, and in parameters, such as pain and WOMAC of Group II, were more statistically significant when compared with the placebo laser group.
