Summary

Nuclear Magnetic Resonance Therapy (NMRT) is gaining as a novel mode of therapy in osteoarthrosis. A prospective double blind randomised study of 100 patients was conducted to investigate efficacy of NMRT in the treatment of mild to moderate osteoarthrosis (OA) of the knee joint.

The null hypothesis was that there is no benefit of NMRT over placebo in mild to moderate oteoarthosis of the knee.
