Journal Title: IOSR Journal of Dental and Medical Sciences (IOSR-JDMS) - Year 2018, Vol 17, Issue 10
Abstract
Objectives:To evaluate whether High TENS can control pain and subsequently improving tenderness, walk time in OA Knee. Study Design – Prospective randomized controlled parallel group study. Study Area – Osteoarthritis Clinic and OPD of Physical Medicine and Rehabilitation Deptt. IPGMER, SSKM, Hospital. Sample - Patients with bilateral symmetrical primary OA Knee attending Osteoarthritis Clinic and OPD of PMR. IPGMER, SSKM Hospital from March2008 – November2014. Patients were divided into 2 groups. ● First group (total no. 30 patients) -risedronate (35mg.) [R]. ● Second group (total no.30 patients) -- High TENS and risedronate (35mg.) [RT]. Outcome measures- VAS score for pain, WOMAC (pain, function), ROM by goniometry, inflammatory markers like HS CRP. Results- Pain is decreased in both groups significantly (p=0.000006). There is statistically significant differences observed between group2 vs. group1 (p=0.0329). CRP are reduced in both groups.Walk time is increased in both groups significantly (p<0.05). Discussion-High TENS has no role to control disease. But this modality is effective to alleviate symptoms of OA. Conclusion- TENS has superior effect in Pain (VAS), Tenderness, and WOMAC (Pain) score.
