Osteoarthritis is a degenerative joint disorder commonly experienced by the elderly and often causes prolonged pain, limiting the ability to perform daily activities. Non-pharmacological approaches, one of which is the use of warm compresses made from ginger, are considered to have the potential to help reduce joint pain through increased local blood flow and natural anti-inflammatory effects. This study aimed to analyze the effectiveness of warm compress therapy with ginger in reducing joint pain levels in elderly people with osteoarthritis. The study used a quasi-experimental design with a pretest-posttest control group approach, involving 30 elderly respondents divided into an intervention group and a control group. The intervention group received warm compress therapy with ginger for 20 minutes, three times per week for two weeks. Pain intensity was measured before and after the intervention using the Numeric Rating Scale (NRS). The results showed a statistically significant reduction in pain levels in the intervention group compared to the control group. These findings indicate that warm compress therapy with ginger is effective as a complementary therapy in managing osteoarthritis pain in the elderly. This therapy can be a simple, economical, and relatively safe alternative to improve the quality of life of the elderly.
