Study summary

The purpose of this study is to assess the ability of long-duration high-frequency continuous-wave therapeutic ultrasound to alleviate knee Osteoarthritis pain over an 12-week period. The primary objective of this study is to evaluate the analgesic effect of ultrasound treatment in subjects suffering from knee Osteoarthritis pain. Secondary objectives are to assess the ability of ultrasound treatment to improve joint function.
