Anti-Inflammatory Effects Of Frequency Specific Microcurrent (FSM) In Osteoarthritic Adults

Completed · Not applicable · Has a placebo group

Conditions studied: Osteoarthritis

In brief

It is hypothesized that application of frequency specific microcurrent can decrease inflammation in osteoarthritis patients resulting in decreased pain and potentially decrease disease progression. Participants will received the microcurrent treatment for one hour and a total of five blood draws to measure inflammatory markers. Participants will also complete a pre and post treatment pain questionnaire.
