<p class="abstract"><strong>Background:</strong> The study aim was to determine the effect of low intensity pulsed ultrasound therapy to reduce the effusion volumes and pain in patients with Knee OA.</p><p class="abstract"><strong>Methods:</strong> This study design was randomized controlled trial. Total 50 patients diagnosed with Knee osteoarthritis were randomly assigned to two groups. Group I was using treatment of low intensity pulsed ultrasound therapy and group II was administered TENS with home exercise respectively. Treatments were 6 days per week and duration of 2 week. The amount of effusion volume will be measured via ultrasonograpy in knee.<strong></strong></p><p class="abstract"><strong>Results:</strong> The<strong> </strong>maximum number of cases are lying in age group &gt;60 years which is 28% and 40% in cases and control group respectively and age distribution in both the group is statistically not significant. The mean age of patients in cases and control group is 57.08±7.40 years and 58.04±9.93 years respectively.</p><p class="abstract"><strong>Conclusions:</strong> Low intensity pulsed ultrasound therapy significantly reduced the effusion volumes and pain in patients with knee osteoarthritis.</p>

Low intensity pulsed ultrasound (LIPUS) therapy has demonstrated clinical effectiveness in achieving union in a variety of fracture situations. Few studies have investigated the effectiveness of LIPUS therapy in foot and ankle surgery. The overall rate of union in all published studies relating to the use of LIPUS in a variety of foot and ankle fracture and fusion situations is 95%. Some studies suggest lower healing rates (~ 67%) when LIPUS therapy is used to treat hindfoot fusion nonunion. A well-powered, high-quality, randomized controlled trial is needed to demonstrate the clinical and cost effectiveness of LIPUS therapy in foot and ankle surgery.
