Summary

This research is designed through randomization, control, and double-blind trial to explore the clinical effectiveness of intravenous laser irradiation of blood for knee degenerative arthritis; and to explore the changes in body's balance function. Furthermore to establish a new way of clinical rehabilitation therapy. The research will further study the special biomarker to investigate the mechanism of low-energy intravenous laser therapy for osteoarthritis.

Conditions

  • Osteoarthritis, Knee

Interventions

DEVICE

Intravascular laser irradiation of blood

Low intensity intravascular laser irradiation of blood phototherapy is a method of a 632.8 nm red light penetrate into a vein through fiber and the brightness is 100 fold of the sun. The light accelerates blood and cells circulation in the human body, so that protein molecular structure would promote changes.

DEVICE

Intravascular laser irradiation of blood (Sham)

zero intensity of the laser energy
