Magnetic Field Therapy Versus Transcutaneous Electrical Nerve-stimulation in Knee Osteoarthritis

"Sessions will be conducted by a physiotherapist from the center, trained in the technique.Three sessions per week for three weeks. We used an Automatic Program (approximately 20 minutes).~For each group, the physical therapy was given as below:~G2: Patients treated with magnetotherapy:~-Device used: a prototype of a Health magnetic therapy (H.M.T) generator developed by a group of engineering researchers at the University of Tunis El Manar, employing low-frequency electromagnetic waves. The chosen program is Analgesia. An applicator containing magnets will be placed on the affected knees. The patient will sit on a chair bending knees.~G1 : Patients treated with TENS~-Device used: TENS from ECO2 from Schwa Medico, 2016, France. We chose the Gate control program (high frequency). The patient will sit with bent knees on a chair and adhesive patches will be placed on the affected knee. The intensity will be adapted to the patient's tolerance in both groups."
