Conditions
Brief summary
Effect and effect mechanism of neuromagnetic treatment for pain of knee osteoarthritis. Application of neuromagnetic devices for decreasing pain and increasing function of participants suffering from mild to moderate osteoarthritis of the knee.
Interventions
Quadrapolar Neuromagnetic device, Magnetic Flux Generator(MFG), (Qmagnets tm) These consist of 4 centre charged
12 500 gauss magnets with alternating polarities that produce steep field gradients that are purported to have physiological effects. Active magnets will be applied to particpants for a one week period with a one week period wash out and one week period of wearing a placebo device. The participants will be computerized random coding system. The researcher will be blinded to activ
