NCT ID:
NCT07395895
Brief Summary:
This study is designed as a randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled clinical trial with two parallel groups. All participants will receive a standardized physical therapy rehabilitation program. Participants will be randomly allocated into either a study group receiving metformin iontophoresis or a control group receiving placebo iontophoresis. Both participants and outcome assessors will be blinded to group allocation.
Detailed Description:
The study population will consist of postmenopausal women diagnosed with knee osteoarthritis. Postmenopause is defined as the absence of menstruation for at least 12 consecutive months. Participants will be randomly assigned to either the study or control group using a computer-generated randomization sequence. Allocation concealment will be ensured using sealed opaque envelopes. Both participants and outcome assessors will be blinded to the treatment allocation. The physical therapist applying iontophoresis will not be involved in outcome assessment.
