dc.description.abstract | The purpose of this study was to evaluate the relative effectiveness of manipulation versus meloxicam (a Non-Steroidal Anti-Inflammatory Drug) to determine which is more beneficial in treating osteoarthritis of the knee. This was a prospective, randomized clinical trial consisting of a population of sixty voluntary subjects, diagnosed as suffering from osteoarthritis of the knee. The patients were divided equally into two groups of thirty, with Group A receiving chiropractic manipulative therapy on eight consultations over three weeks, and Group B receiving meloxicam 7,5mg tablets once daily for three weeks. Capturing of the subjective and objective data for both groups took place on the first, fourth and eighth consultations. Subjective data was captured using the Numerical Pain Rating scale-l 01, the Visual Analogue scale, as well as the Patient -Specific functional scale. Objective data was gathered from goniometric and pressure algometer measurements. | en_US |
