Knee osteoarthritis (OA) is a major cause of disability nowadays. Osteoarthritis (OA), also known as degenerative joint disease, is typically the result of wear and tear and progressive loss of articular cartilage. It is most common in elderly people and can be divided into two types, primary and secondary. Platelet-rich plasma (PRP) is an autologous blood product that contains a high concentration of platelets, specifically, 3 to 5 times that of normal blood. PRP contains a high concentration of autogenous growth factors, including vascular endothelial growth factor, platelet-derived growth factor, and transforming growth factor-β, which promote the proliferation of chondrocytes and the synthesis of the extracellular matrix. PRP is increasingly being used in the field of sports injury because of its simple preparation method, low cost, and high degree of safety A randomized clinical trial will be conducted at Ibne Sina Hospital,Multan. Non probability convenience sampling technique will be applied to enroll patients who will be allocated through computerized randomization into group A \& group B to collect data. Sample size will be 36. This will be allocated to three groups through lottery method. Group A will be given MWM and group B will be given Maitland techniques while Group C will receive only baseline treatment. The study will be completed within the time duration of ten months. Primary Outcome measures of the research will be Pain, Range of motion, functional status. Data will be analyzed using SPSS software version 25. After assessing normality of data by Shapiro-wilk test, it will be decided either parametric or non-parametric test will be used within a group or between two groups.
