AI Summary

A long‑term analysis of a randomized trial in Russia followed nearly 300 patients with early knee osteoarthritis for almost 12 years. The study examined low‑dose radiation therapy, which is already used to relieve pain in this condition. Findings suggest that the therapy may also affect the disease’s progression, potentially slowing its advancement. The analysis provides new evidence that low‑dose radiation could have benefits beyond pain relief for patients with knee osteoarthritis.
