About the trial
What the trial wants to find out
The aim of this study is to determine the effectiveness of the program integrated with pain science education for people with painful knee osteoarthritis (OA). Another purpose of the study is to evaluate whether the program integrated with pain science education is more effective than the program integrated with biomedical education.
The 2 groups in the trial
- Pain science education groupTreatment being tested
the program integrated with pain science education (exercise, walking program and recommendations for reducing sedentary behaviors)
Treatment: Pain science education driven physiotherapy program
- Biomedical education groupTreatment being tested
the program integrated with biomedical education (exercise, walking program and recommendations for reducing sedentary behaviors)
Treatment: Biomedical education driven physiotherapy program
