Study Type: Interventional
Study Phase: Not Applicable
SUMMARY
Hemophilia is a genetic bleeding disorder that commonly leads to knee hemarthrosis, causing pain, swelling, and reduced joint mobility in children. While standard treatments include clotting factor replacement and physiotherapy, additional non-invasive approaches are being explored. This study aims to evaluate the effects of photobiomodulation on knee hemarthrosis in male hemophilia patients aged 9-14 years. It focuses on determining whether this therapy can reduce pain and swelling and improve joint range of motion when used alongside

Treatments
Experimental: photobiomodulation
The intervention involves the application of low-level laser therapy (LLLT), also referred to as photobiomodulation (PBM), using a diode laser device with the intensity in the range of 1 to 500 mW . The laser was applied in continuous-wave mode directly to the skin over the knee joint at multiple anatomical points, including the medial, lateral, superior, and inferior aspects of the patella, covering 8 to 9 specific locations. Total treatment time will be 10 minutes, delivered with a spot size 13 Effects of Photobiomodulation o knee hemarthosis in children with Hemophilia ranging from 0.04 to 0.07 cm². During the procedure, patients are positioned in a supine posture with the knee slightly flexed (20-30°) to allow optimal access to the target areas.
