Overview

Knee osteoarthritis (KOA) is a common chronic joint condition leading to pain, functional limitations, and reduced quality of life. This randomized controlled trial aims to evaluate and compare the effectiveness of a structured home-based exercise program versus topical diclofenac sodium therapy in improving pain, functional outcomes, and health-related quality of life among adults with early-stage KOA. The results are intended to provide evidence on the optimal components of home-based conservative management strategies.
