IRCT2015072016532N2 IRCT 2016-04-21 Shiraz University of Medical Sciences The effectiveness of intermittent vacuum in knee osteoarthritis The comparison of the effect of intermittent vacuum in combination with conventional physical therapy and conventional physical therapy on pain intensity , knee range of motion and functional disability in patients with knee osteoarthritis 2014-08-23 anticipated 26 Complete https://irct.ir/trial/15453 interventional Randomization: Randomized, Blinding: Not blinded, Placebo: Not used, Assignment: Parallel, Purpose: Treatment, Other design features: Randomization based on block randomization method. N/A knee osteoarthritis. Intervention 1: The intervention group will be received conventional physical treatment (including TENS, US, hot pack) and intermittent vacuum for 10 sessions in two weeks. The patients will perform quadriceps setting exercise. Other knee exercises as an exercise program will be taught to patients in tenth session. For vacuum therapy, the cups of devices will be located on medial and lateral sides of knee joint. The pressure of vacuum is 150 milibar with duty cycle of 2 seconds. The total time of vacuum therapy is 10 minutes. The frequency and duration of TENS are 2 Hz and 200 milliseconds respectively. The intensity of TENS will be set by patient`s tolerance. The total time of treatment by TENS is 20 minutes. The one MHz ultrasound with intensity of 0.8w/cm² will be used by 5 minutes.Hot pack will be used by 20 minutes. Intervention 2: The control group will be received conventional physical treatment (including TENS, US, hot pack) for 10 sessions in two weeks. The patients will perform quadriceps setting exercise. Other knee exercises as an exercise program will be taught to patients in tenth session. The frequency and duration of TENS are 2 Hz and 200 milliseconds respectively. The intensity of TENS will be set by patient`s tolerance. The total time of treatment by TENS is 20 minutes. The one MHz ultrasound with intensity of 0.8w/cm² will be used by 5 minutes.Hot pack will be used by 20 minutes.
