Arthritis of the knee

HILT high-intensity laser therapy is. An effective form of rehabilitation for patients with arthritis of the knee.

The study showed that HILT provides rapid pain relief and improved functionality.

HILT's mechanisms of action include analgesic, anti-inflammatory effects and improved microcirculation. Laser therapy has shown efficacy over other forms of rehabilitation, such as low-intensity laser therapy LLLT or thermotherapy. The optimal laser parameters and therapy dose are still under investigation. Conclusions based on the current review should be treated with caution due to methodological limitations and the variability of the parameters studied. Nevertheless, HILT is considered a safe treatment option without significant side effects.
