Description
Summary:Aim and scope. The purpose of this study was to determine the effects of 2 different concentrations of sorbitan monooleate and methylated spirit as surfactants in the electromotive administration of diclofenac diethylamine among participants with knee osteoarthritis (OA). Materials and methods: Fifteen participants with knee OA were randomly allocated into 3 groups. Prior to diclofenac diethylamine iontophoresis, participants in group 1 had the stimulation electrode pads soaked in 1% w/v sorbitan monooleate and same procedures were adopted for those in group 2 and 3 but soaking and cleansing were in 0.5% w/v sorbitan monooleate and methylated spirit surfactants respectively. The data were analyzed using descriptive and inferential statistics. Results. There was significant reduction in pain intensity immediately after the first treatment session within group 1, (p< 0.02) and group 3, (p
