Résumé : |
Objective: This study examined the effects of treatment with Phyllanthus amarus nanoparticle gel applied by phonophoresis (PP) and ultrasound therapy (UT) in patients with symptomatic knee osteoarthritis (OA) using a randomized, double-blind, controlled trial.
Methods: Patients with knee OA (n=40; mean age ± SD, 64.30 ± 9.71 years), who had visual analogue scale (VAS) scores for knee pain intensity of 68.00 ± 9.58 (UT group) and 71.00 ± 8.74 (PP group, respectively) before treatment, were randomly allocated into two groups. Both groups were treated with an ultrasound program in continuous mode, 1.0 W/cm2, 10min per session, for 10 sessions. Nanoparticles of P. amarus were used in the PP group, whereas a nondrug coupling gel was used in the UT group. The 6-min walk test (6-MWT) was performed to evaluate functional capacity. The VAS and the 6-MWT were evaluated before and after 10 treatment sessions in both groups using a double-blind procedure. Results: VAS and 6-MWT showed significant improvement after treatment in both groups (p Conclusions: PP is suggested as an effective method for the treatment of symptomatic knee OA for reducing pain and improving functional capacity. |
