Comment on “A Better Way to Decrease Knee Swelling in Patients with Knee Osteoarthritis: A Single-Blind Randomised Controlled Trial”

Abstract EN

With great interest, we read the article of Sari et al.

[1] about decreasing knee swelling in patients with knee osteoarthritis using intermittent pneumatic compression (IPC).

To our knowledge, this is the first study describing the use of IPC as a treatment for knee osteoarthritis.

The authors found significant effects on reducing knee swelling.

The topic of research is relevant as knee osteoarthritis is the most common chronic joint disorder affecting millions of people worldwide [2]; however, after reading the article, several questions regarding the study remain unanswered to us.

We hope the authors can provide us more insight into this study.
