A new way of treating ordinary knee pain

The results of a narrow and random clinical trial have shown that a low dose of radiotherapy can provide great ease for patients with painful osteo’s in the knee, opening the door for a safe and effective alternative to strong medicine or joint replacement operations. The results were presented at the annual meeting of the American Oncology Association with radiation in San Francisco, where it was found that patients suffering from mild to medium degrees of diseases, recorded a noticeable decrease in pain and an improvement in physical performance within 4 months of receiving radiotherapy in doses that were not more than 5% of the Keep with radiation. The study included 114 patients in 3 academic centers in Korea, and the participants distributed three groups randomly. The first group received a very low dose (0.3 GRY), while the second group received a low dose (3 GRRA), and a third group controlled by false procedures without radiation. Osteoporosis is the most common types of arthritis that affect millions of people around the world. It occurs because of the corrosion of the protective cartilage at the end of the legs over time. It can affect any joint, but it often appears in the hands,/ or knees,/ oral and/ or spine. The damage to the joints cannot be repaired, but symptoms can be controlled and the progress of the disease can be dominated. The most important symptoms include: joint pain during or after movement. Tinens, especially in the morning or after periods of lethargy. Pain if you press on the joint. Loss of elasticity and difficulty movement. Sounds of cracking or crackling in the joint. Orthopedic bumps and swell around the joint. Causes: Gradual damage to cartilage and later leads to bone friction. It is not only limited to cartilage, but also affects bones, ligaments, connective tissue and the lining of the joint. All patients received 6 sessions, while strong analgesic treatments were limited and used only on paracetamol. After 4 months, 70% of patients of the (3 gray) group met the clinical reaction criteria, which included improved pain, function or general evaluation, compared to 42% in the places of placebo, while the group with a very low dose did not show a statistically significant difference. The results also showed that 56.8% of patients of the (3 gray) group achieved a remarkable improvement in the collected indicators of pain, stiffness and function, compared to only 30.6% in the false group. The osteogenic separation affects more than 32 million adults in the United States alone and is the most common cause of joint -related disability, and it needs moderate therapeutic options between medication and surgery. The researchers believe that low -dose radiotherapy may be an ideal choice for patients who do not tolerate medicine or injections. This approach is expected to be more effective in cases where the joint maintains its basic structure, while it cannot compensate for total damage in advanced cases. The research team follows to follow up patients for a 12 -month period to measure the sustainability of benefits and link it to changes in the joint structure through medical photography, with plans to conduct larger and more comprehensive studies involving economic analyzes to compare these approach to traditional treatments.
