Osteoarthritis affects about 50% of people aged older than 65 years. Pain is the most important symptom in this disease. Today public interest in the use of complementary medicine, especially traditional herbal medicines has increased. The present study was designed to investigate the efficacy of traditional preparation of Peganum harmala L oil on patients with knee osteoarthritis. The product has been analyzed and standardized by high-performance liquid chromatography. A double blind controlled randomized clinical trial consisting of 54 patients were performed. Patients rubbed the drug or control (olive oil) on the knee 4 drops 3 times a day for 4 weeks. The patients were asked to fill out the Western Ontario and McMaster Universities Arthritis Index and Visual Analogue Scale questionnaires at week 0 and 4. The adapted results from the questionnaires showed that pain and difficulty in function were significantly decreased in Peganum oil group after 4 weeks. There was no significant difference in stiffness change between 2 groups.

Introduction: Knee osteoarthritis is a common disease, particularly in the elderly population. Degenerative disorders of the cartilage cause pain and stiffness in the knee joint. As a result, patients frequently experience limitation in their daily activities. Purpose: To compare the effects of exercise, acupuncture, and magnet therapy on symptoms and physical function among middle-aged and elderly people with knee osteoarthritis. Materials and methods: We carried out a parallel three-arm randomized clinical trial in an outpatient clinic of the Department of Physical Medicine and Rehabilitation at a University Hospital. In total, 60 female patients of age ≥ 40 years with chronic knee osteoarthritis were randomly allocated to one of three groups of isometric exercise, acupuncture, and magnet therapy. The primary outcome measure was subjective pain rated according to the Visual Analog Scale. We also used the Western Ontario McMaster Universities Osteoarthritis Index for assessing and monitoring the symptoms of knee osteoarthritis in order to evaluate the efficacy of the interventions. An isometric exercise program was prescribed, consisting of three sessions per week for six weeks. Participants in the acupuncture group received three treatment sessions per week for six weeks, each lasting for 30 minutes. For pulsed electro-magnetic field therapy, a total of three 30-minute sessions per week for a period of 6 weeks were administered to each patient. Results: There were no statistically significant differences between the study groups in terms of the outcome measures (all p values > 0.05). However, within-group analyses showed that there were significant differences regarding the clinical outcomes in each group (all p values < 0.05). Conclusion: All three therapeutic modalities are effective and could be used as the first line of treatment for knee osteoarthritis. Moreover, it should be noted that the favorable outcomes remained at least two months after treatment concluded.
