Abstract:
Osteoarthritis is the most common cause of knee pain. In the present, Bio-magnetic Therapy is a method used in Osteoarthritis treatment more, since it can relieve pain and resist inflammation. Moreover, patients did not receive any injuries or complications. Researchers has studied the effects of treatment with the Bio-magnetic Therapy, together with an assessment of pain in a sample consisting of 25men and women who have pain from Osteoarthritis, aged between 50-80 years, The instrument of this study includes magnetic energy generator (Bio-magnetic), Neodymium magnet with a concentration of 1500 gauss (g) and the numerical assessment of pain (Numeric Scores). The study found pain level of each treatment with Bio-magnetic Therapy has a different significance level of 0.001 (p <0.001), that is, pain levels decreased continuously. The result of the first measurement was 7.5 ±. 0.2, and the second and third measurenents were 5.4 ± 0.2 and 4.0 ± 0.2, respectively. The study concluded that the treatment of knee pain with Bio-magnetic therapy can actually relieve knee pain.
