About this trial

This study aims to find the best settings (dose) for High-Intensity Laser Therapy (HILT) to reduce pain and improve function in people with moderate knee osteoarthritis. Participants will be randomly assigned to receive one of three different doses of HILT (low, medium, or high) or a sham (placebo) laser treatment, three times a week for four weeks. The main outcomes measured will be changes in knee pain (using a pain scale) and knee function (using a questionnaire) from the beginning to the end of the 4-week treatment period.
