Study aim
-
study of the effect of resistance training and nano-curcumin use on synovial fluid biomarkers in patients with knee osteoarthritis.
-
Design
-
Because of the importance of group homogeneity, the stratified randomization method is used In which the removal of possible heterogeneity is done by classifying the variables of the disease grade prior to random assignment. Double Blind Clinical Trial,calculate the sample size based on the formula and by conducting pilot studies.
-
Settings and conduct
-
Initial measurements and pre-test at the Center for Physiotherapy at the site of the protocol implementation,performing resistance training 3 days a week for 2 months.
Nanocurcumin supplement daily 1 and placebo daily1(soft gelatin capsule with a completely similar appearance of nano-curcumin) will be provided randomly, without the knowledge of participants, clinical care, evaluator and analyst.
-
Participants/Inclusion and exclusion criteria
-
Inclusion criteria:Infection with osteoarthritis grade1-4,Low activity,age 60-45, non-acute illness , fracture , ,joint infections, Exclusion criteria: Unwillingness of patients to continue cooperation , lack of synovial fluid, Knee joint movement restriction, Injury when exercising , drug use other than diclofenac for the treatment of Osteoarthritis , Cardiovascular, liver, diabetes, kidney failure,age less than 45 and over 60,addiction and alcohol and smoking.
-
Intervention groups
