PURPOSE: To compare the effectiveness of Traumeel®S in combination with specific
knee joint mobilisation with Traumeel®S tablets and ointment, or specific knee joint
mobilisation alone, in the chiropractic treatment of knee osteoarthritis. By comparing
the objective and subjective results obtained from this comparison, the most effective
treatment protocol for knee osteoarthritis may be determined.
STUDY DESIGN: A random sample of thirty patients, radiographically diagnosed with
Grade 2 or Grade 3 knee osteoarthritis, were selected to participate in this study. These
patients were randomly assigned to three equal groups of ten patients each. Monitoring
examinations were conducted on the initial, third, sixth and final (ninth) consultations.
