In a recent study, researchers investigated two different ways of treating pain in patients with knee osteoarthritis. The one half got to try W-TENS and the other half received weak opioids. They studied both the efficacy and safety in both methods. Patients with nociceptive pain from their knee OA often receive weak opioids, even though it is well known that the efficacy is moderate. It is also k
