      <study_design>Randomization: Randomized, Blinding: Single blinded, Placebo: Not used, Assignment: Factorial, Purpose: Treatment, Randomization description: The patient will have to report agreement to participate in the study and signed the formal consent to participate, a Rheumatologist will run the assessment to determine eligibility. After this initial assessment (blinded assessor), we will enter the number of sets want on the website http://randomizer.org/ (Social Psychology Network, Connecticut, USA) (Four sets of numbers are required: 1. Selected exercise group 2. pain neuroscience education group 3. Selected exercise combine pain neuroscience education group 4. Control). Participants will randomly be assigned to the control group or 1 of the intervention groups using a randomized permuted block design of block size 8 each participant’s group. Another researcher, blind to the baseline examination, opens an envelope and processed with treatment according to the group assignment, Blinding description: Assessor data analyzer will be blind to group allocation. Participants will not blind to exercise study however they were not aware which treatment will be considered as therapeutic.
A blinded outcome assessor who will not know the hypothesis and study methods, measures outcome at baseline, after 3 month post-intervention, and 6 month follow-up.</study_design>

      <hc_freetext>Knee osteoarthritis.</hc_freetext>
      <i_freetext>Intervention 1: Intervention group 1: In selected exercise using booster sessions (in follow-up) group: The participants will be submitted to a program of 3-month (36 sessions+ 1 education) of selected exercises (mixed of cardio, strength, neuromuscular, breathing, mobility, balance exercises). The program will be carried out three a week, and will be a telerehabilitation program (Online and home exercise). Then, after the past of 1-month (12-sessions) of initial program, the participants will be invited to perform some functional activities (progression walking program+ step up and down+ semi squat) at home, in addition to the main exercise intervention. Each session will last between 45 to 75 minutes, and always movements will be checked with a physical therapist (Online connection). The participants in 2 groups (Selected exercise and Combined group) will receive booster sessions (through phone call and video call) during at follow-up: 8 sessions in the first 9 weeks at follow-up period, 2 booster sessions at between 8 weeks to end of follow-up period. On the all groups, participants will be received an educations program comprised of the self-management, an anatomy, heat therapy and physiology (except PNE in control group), daily activities ergonomic, and encouragement to be active. Also, in all the groups and during all the sessions, participants will support by automated text messages (for remember sessions and exercises). Intervention 2: Intervention group 2: pain neuroscience education (PNE) group: In this group, 3 introductory sessions will be held to teach pain management approaches. In this study, 3 training sessions will be held in 2 weeks, which will be conducted by the researcher. The schedule is the same for all two treatment groups. The first session will be an online group session (duration 30 minutes to an hour) with a maximum of 6 participants in each group, led by a researcher using a PowerPoint presentation. Participants will then be asked to read an instruction booklet containing the same information at home. The second session is home-based online e-learning, which includes 3 explanatory videos. These videos explain the same PowerPoint that was shown during the first session along with its screening. Therefore, in the second session, which is held online, the same issue discussed in the first group session will be explained again. After each clip, participants are asked to complete a questionnaire that will assess their understanding and opinion of the film. The third session will include a 30-minute one-to-one conversation focusing on patients' personal needs: The questions in the second session questionnaire will be analyzed. And how to use this information in the patient's daily life is discussed. On three interventions groups, will be teaching about effect of heat therapy for pain reduced in patient. As well as, In this group, participants will also receive a nutrition education booklet with 60 min education about nutrition. On the all groups, participants will be received an educations program comprised of the self-management, an anatomy and physiology (except PNE in control group), daily activities ergonomic, and encouragement to be active. Also, in all the groups and during all the sessions, participants will support by automated text messages (for remember sessions and exercises). Intervention 3: Intervention group 3: In combine group (pain neuroscience education and selected exercises): The interventions of this group, will be a combination of two groups (pain neuroscience education and selected exercises). The participants in 2 groups (Selected exercise and Combined group) will receive booster sessions during at follow-up: 8 sessions in the first 9 weeks at follow-up period, 2 booster sessions at between 8 weeks to end of follow-up period. On three interventions groups, will be teaching about effect of heat therapy for pain reduced in patient. On the all groups, participants will be received an educations program comprised of the self-management, an anatomy and physiology (except PNE in control group), daily activities ergonomic, and encouragement to be active. Also, in all the groups and during all the sessions, participants will support by automated text messages (for remember sessions and exercises). Intervention 4: Control group: 4 group: In this group, participants will be received an educations program comprised of the self-management, an anatomy and physiology (except PNE), heat therapy, daily activities ergonomic, and encouragement to be active (1-session, 60 to 75 minutes). Also, in all the groups and during all the sessions, participants will support by automated text messages (for remember sessions).</i_freetext>
