The goal of this clinical trial is to evaluate and compare the effectiveness of radial pressure wave therapy (RPWT) applied at different anatomical sites in patients with knee osteoarthritis (OA) over a follow-up of four months. The main questions it aims to answer are: How effective is the application of RPWT on the medial and lateral interarticular lines in patients with knee OA? Are standardized RPWT application techniques on interarticular lines superior to the traditional application technique on the points of greatest pain in patients with knee OA? Researchers will compare the effectiveness of two standardized application techniques on interarticular lines to decrease pain and improve function in patients with knee OA. Participants will receive three sessions of RPWT on the most painful knee as a result of knee OA.
