About this trial
Hemophilia is a genetic bleeding disorder that commonly leads to knee hemarthrosis, causing pain, swelling, and reduced joint mobility in children. While standard treatments include clotting factor replacement and physiotherapy, additional non-invasive approaches are being explored. This study aims to evaluate the effects of photobiomodulation on knee hemarthrosis in male hemophilia patients aged 9-14 years. It focuses on determining whether this therapy can reduce pain and swelling and improve joint range of motion when used alongside

Treatments tested in this trial
photobiomodulation
RadiationPhotobiomodulation is a non-invasive therapy that uses low-level light (typically from lasers or LEDs) to stimulate cellular activity and promote healing. It works by enhancing mitochondrial function, increasing energy (ATP) production, and reducing inflammation. This therapy is commonly used for pain relief, tissue repair, and improving recovery in various clinical conditions.

Trial outcomes
Primary outcomes
1
VAS
The Visual Analogue Scale (VAS) is a simple and widely used tool to measure a person's pain intensity. It typically consists of a 10 cm straight line, where: One end represents "no pain" (0) The other end represents "worst possible pain" (10) The patient is asked to mark a point on the line that best represents their level of pain. The distance from the "no pain" end to the marked point is then measured and recorded as the pain score. VAS is easy to use, quick, and effective for tracking changes in pain over time in both clinical and research settings.

Measuring Tape
A measuring tape in physiotherapy is a simple, flexible tool used to assess body dimensions such as limb length, girth, and joint swelling. It helps therapists monitor changes over time, evaluate muscle atrophy or edema, and track patient progress during rehabilitation.

Goniometer
A goniometer is a scientific instrument used to measure angles. It is commonly used in fields like geometry, engineering, and healthcare. In medicine-especially in physical therapy and orthopedics-it helps measure the range of motion of joints in the human body. A typical goniometer consists of a protractor-like scale with two arms that can be aligned along the body part or object to determine the angle accurately.
