A comparison of different physical stimulation combined with platelet-rich plasma for the treatment of knee osteoarthritis: study protocol for a randomized controlled trial
This study is the first to propose the treatment of KOA with physical stimulation after PRP treatment, and to observe the clinical efficacy of the treatment method.MethodsThis is a protocol paper that outlines a randomized controlled trial, patients will be assigned randomly to the PRP group, PRP+LIFU group, PRP+TENS group, and PRP+LIFU combined TENS group.

Efficacy and safety of GLucocorticoid injections into InfrapaTellar faT pad in patients with knee ostEoarthRitiS: protocol for the GLITTERS randomized controlled trial
DiscussionGLITTERS may provide high-quality evidence for the efficacy and safety of ultrasound-guided glucocorticoid injections into IPFP among people with inflammatory knee OA in a short term. The results of this trial are expected to provide a reliable reference for a longer-term risk –benefit profile of this treatment in the future.Trial registrationClinicalTrials.gov NCT05291650.

The comparison between the effects of pain education interventions with online and face-to-face exercise and the control group received biomedical education + standardized physical therapy in patients with chronic nonspecific neck pain during COVID-19: protocol for a parallel-group randomized controlled trial
DiscussionIt seems that PNE plus online and face-to-face exercise interventions are appropriate educational models for the treatment of patients with neck pain during COVID-19. Also, online training seems to encourage patients to continue their treatment.Trial registrationIranian Registry of Clinical Trials IRCT20150503022068N5.
