Low-dose radiation therapy eases knee osteoarthritis pain
Rapporteret af AI
A Korean clinical trial has demonstrated that low-dose radiation therapy significantly reduces pain and improves mobility in patients with mild to moderate knee osteoarthritis, outperforming placebo effects. The treatment, which uses doses far below those for cancer, showed no side effects and could serve as an alternative to medications or surgery. Results were presented at the American Society for Radiation Oncology Annual Meeting.
