Abstract

Objective: This systematic review protocol aims to analyze the effect of photobiomodulation on pain management and functionality in patients with knee osteoarthritis. Method: Registered in PROSPERO and following PRISMA guidelines, it will include randomized clinical trials using photobiomodulation in patients with knee osteoarthritis. The search will be conducted in MEDLINE, COCHRANE, EMBASE, AMED, SCOPUS, and PEDRO databases. The selection and extraction of data will be carried out by two independent reviewers, with a third to resolve any discrepancies. The risk of bias will be assessed using the PEDro scale. The data synthesis will include meta-analysis with random effects models and evaluation of the quality of evidence using the GRADE system. Conclusion: This review will provide a comprehensive overview of the effectiveness of photobiomodulation in managing pain and improving functionality in patients with knee osteoarthritis, contributing to evidence-based clinical practice.
