Osteoarthritis (OA) is the most common joint disorder in a large number of people older than 65 years.
To compare the Effect of High Voltage Pulsed Current and Interferential Therapy on Pain & WOMAC in patients with Osteoarthritis of knee.
60 subjects were taken and divided into two groups-Group A-30 Subjects (HVPC & EXS) and Group B-30 Subjects (IFT & EXS). Subjects with Age group of 40–70 years, Unilateral Knee joint involvement, Diagnosed Case of osteoarthritis, Pain more than 4 weeks, WOMAC score more than 20 and NPRS Score more than 3 and less than 10 were included in this study. Western Ontario and McMaster University Osteoarthritis Index (WOMAC) and Numerical Pain Rating Scale (NPRS) were the outcome measures used.
Showed improved scores in both the groups with group B showing more improved values.
The intervention given to both the group was shown to be effective, where the intervention given in Group B was found to be more effective therefore IFT with EXS has shown more Effective in Treatment of Osteoarthritis knee in reducing pain and disability.
