About this study

This study directed to investigate effect of pulsed magnetic field versus low level laser therapy on functional performance in children with juvenile idiopathic arthritis children with juvenile idiopathic arthritis suffer from some problems such as pain, swelling and limited motion in knee joints here in this study i used these devices to help in solving these problems pain was measured by visual analogue scale swelling was measured by tape measurement and Range of motion was measured by digital geniometre

Who can participate

Healthy volunteers accepted: No

Only the study team can determine whether someone qualifies for participation.

Inclusion criteria

  • 1 Confirmed diagnosis of Juvenile Idiopathic Arthritis (JIA).
  • 2 Polyarticular onset of JIA with bilateral involvement of the knee joint.
  • 3 Age between 8 and 16 years
  • 4 Stable conditions (i.e., receive stable doses of medications in the past three months).
  • 5 Not participating in a regular exercise program in the past six months.

Exclusion criteria

  • 1 Fixed deformities
  • 2 History of joint surgery
  • 3 Ankylosing or fractures
  • 4 Bone destruction ( erosive changes of the knee joints ).

Treatment and study plan

pulsed magnetic field

Device

Children in this group received pulsed magnetic therapy in addition to traditional exercise program

Low level laser

Device

Children in this group received low level laser therapy in addition to traditional exercise program

Primary outcomes

  1. Swelling

    Time frame: 3 months

    We used Tape Measurement to measure Swelling

  2. Sensation of Pain

    Time frame: 3 months

    we used Visual Analogue Scale (VAS) to measure pain. the scale ranged from 0 to 10. ( 0 means no pain and 10 means maximum pain

  3. Range of motion

    Time frame: 3 months

    we used digital geniometer to measure range of motion
