An interventional study of Blood flow restriction (BFR) and Usual care (control) in Knee Pain Chronic, Knee Osteoarthritis and Knee Discomfort, sponsored by National Research Centre for the Working Environment, Denmark. Status unknown. Open to participants aged 18 Years to 67 Years, including healthy volunteers. Per ClinicalTrials.gov, last updated 2023-04-20.

The goal of this intervention study is to assess the effect of blood flow restricted (BFR) exercise integrated into the daily work tasks among hospital workers with or at increased risk of chronic knee pain.
The main questions are:
Can BFR exercise integrated into the daily work tasks reduce knee pain (primary outcome) and improve function and work ability among hospital workers with or at increased risk of chronic knee pain? Participants in the intervention group will for shorts bouts during their workdays integrate BFR into their daily work tasks involving walking, whereas the control group will continue as usual.
4,397 studies on the registry are indexed under Osteoarthritis; 581 are open to participants now.
This study's planned enrollment of 80 is above the median of 70 across 3,440 interventional studies indexed under Osteoarthritis.
