Introduction: Today, increased degenerative disease of the knee, which reduces the efficiency of the activity and quality of life, is one of the most common causes of many population complaints. It is important to properly plan and carry out non-invasive and non-pharmacological therapies to treat the pain and its consequences.  The question of which of methods effectively relieves pain, improve function and efficiently increases life quality led to a comparison of two methods, interferential and ultra-reiz (Träbert) currents therapy. Methods: Randomized Block clinical trial carried out at Taleghani general hospital Shahid Beheshti University of Medical Sciences from November 2017 to February 2019. The study included 104 patients of both sexes, aged 38-74 years, with knee osteoarthritis. They were selected based on exclusion and inclusion criteria. The patients were randomly assigned to two groups: A and B.  Group A, n: 52 patients, were received ultra-reiz current, and group B, n: 52 patients, were subjected to interferential current. Parameters assessment were evaluated by the Knee Injury and Osteoarthritis Outcome Score (KOOS) questionnaire with 5 domains:  pain, symptoms, ADL, sports/recreational activity, and quality of life. Data were collected at the 1st session and at the end of treatment (at least three times a week). The obtained results were subject to statistical analysis. Results: Data were analyzed in SPSS software by using paired and two independent sample t-test. The mean scores before and after treatment with p-value range 0.002~0.764 showed that there were differences in pain, other symptoms, ADL, sport/recreational activity, and quality of life status between ultra-reiz and IFT groups, but the results were statistically more significant in the ultra-reiz group (p < 0.0001).

<p>The Novokuznetsk agglomeration is peculiar in that the towns (settlements) within the agglomeration are all monotowns, and the main development problem of monotowns is economy modernization according to the innovative development model. In this regard, it is important to research the benefits of agglomeration for the solution of modernization problems of the constituent monotowns. The current research features the problem from the position of the economy-sociological approach. The subject of the study is the combination of living conditions and quality of life of the population in the metropolitan area as a necessary prerequisite to ensure the modernization of qualified personnel. Assessment of social welfare was provided by a questionnaire survey among the residents of the Novokuznetsk agglomeration (N=1023), who acted as experts. A systematic analysis of the survey results shows that the conditions and life quality among the population of the metropolitan area can be characterized as contradictory. On the one hand, agglomeration system provides for the most important needs of the population; a large part of the population displays a positive attitude for the future, local identity and involvement in various forms of socially useful activities. On the other hand, the quality characteristics and living conditions are mainly applied to an average value. This means that these factors do not attract qualified specialists, capable to solve innovative challenges of modernization. The results of the study can be of practical interest for local authorities and heads of the enterprises in monotowns. The problems of modernization cannot be solved unless the quality of life is improved, the needs of the population are provided for and the residential attractiveness of the territory is increased.</p>
