It is often more painful in weight bearing joints such as the knee, hip, and spine than in the wrist, elbow, and shoulder joints. All joints may be affected if they are used extensively in work or sports, or if they have been damaged from fractures or other injuries. Methodology: A pre experimental research design was adopted for this study.. The main study was conducted in selected rural areas of Puducherry like Kalitheerthalkuppam and Thirubuvanai. The period of data collection was six weeks. Totally 88 arthritis adult were selected by using the Systematic random technique and it was divided into two groups,44 in experimental group and 44 in control group. The pre-test was done among 88 adult by using Pain scale (Modified western ontrio and master universities osteoarthritis index) intervention was given to experimental group and routine measures was given for control group. And on sixth the post-level of pain was assessed for both groups. Results: The result of the study in experimental group mean effectiveness is 24.11. when compared with control group mean difference is 4.29. Concluded that rendering apitherapy to arthritis adult was more effective one in reduction of pain. Therefore the investigator suggests to use apitherapy for pain reduction and there is no side effects and resulting with good prognosis. Conclusion: The result of the study concluded that rendering apitherapy to arthritis adult was more effective one in reduction of pain.
