Abstract

Background: OSTEOARTHRITIS is the most common joint disorder in human. TENS (Trans Electrical Nerve Stimulation) is used for chronic pain such as those related to OSTEOARTHRITIS. Recently, APS (Action Potential Stimulation) is widely used and said to be non-stimulant of skin. Therefore, it can be a suitable therapy in controlling the pain. The aim of this study is to compare the effects of APS with TENS in reducing pain and other symptoms of KNEE OSTEOARTHRITIS.Materials and methods: This clinical trial was done through randomizing the patients in two therapeutic groups. Thirty-two individuals having mild to moderate arthritis in regard to radiological findings and Ahlback classifications entered to the study and treated in two groups (each group=16). Group 1 received hot pad for 20 minutes, then, APS for 16 minutes and activity up to tolerance and group 2 received hot pad for 20 minutes, then TENS for 16 minutes and then activity up to tolerance. Each group was treated for 10 sessions. Data collection was performed through interview and patients examinations in four stages of the research.Results: Data was analyzed through SPSS-11. No significant differences were found in any four stages of evaluations, but in each group, most variables showed significant differences statistically in second stage from the first stage and second and four stages from third one.Conclusions: Nerve stimulation consisting of APS and TENS is useful in treatment of patients of OSTEOARTHRITIS as improving of symptoms was seen with both APS and TENS after 10 days of treatment. Since the velocity of improving of pain was higher in group 1 than group 2, it seems that it is better to use APS in the beginning of the therapeutic course and to continue it with TENS.
