Reply to letter to the Editor about the article "The addition of blood flow restriction to resistance exercise in individuals with knee pain: a systematic review and meta-analysis"

Abstract

The effect of resistance exercise with BRF is not more effective that resistance exercise in in patients with knee pain. Our study was unable to demonstrate the clinical benefits of resistance exercise with BRF in subjects with knee pain. Further studies are needed to support the clinical effect of BRF in pain intensity and knee function in these patients.
