This analysis included data from four trials with a total of 1,317 individuals.

The trials included in this meta-analysis suggest that people with knee osteoarthritis may benefit greatly from exercise-based therapy in terms of pain reduction, improved function, and improved quality of life. These findings suggest that exercise-based therapy offers a nonpharmacological, low-risk, and cost-effective treatment option for knee osteoarthritis.
