Abstract

Introduction: The knee osteoarthritis is characterized by the presence of pain. The magneto therapy is a resource used for pain relief. Objective: The objective of this study was to investigate the effects of magnetic therapy in the treatment of pain in patients with osteoarthritis of the knee. Methods: This is a clinical trial, which were selected two groups of 10 volunteers with a clinical diagnosis of osteoarthristis. They underwent seven weeks of intervention, G1 with a therapeutic exercise program and G2 with the exercise program associated with magnet therapy. The evaluation was conducted by "Western Ontario and McMaster Universities" (WOMAC), the "Timed up and go" (TUG) and analog scale (VAS). Results: It was observed that the study showed significant static difference between the variables * p <0.05 and ** p <0.01 for decrease in pain, stiffness and improving the functional capacity of patients. Conclusion: the magnetic therapy promotes reducing pain and improving functional capacity of patients with osteoarthrosis of knee.
