Tested different cortisone doses for knee osteoarthritis pain
This trial compares different doses of injected cortisone (triamcinolone) directly into the knee to see which dose helps knee osteoarthritis pain most. You may be enrolled in a group receiving a 5 mg, 10 mg, or 40 mg dose if you meet the study’s knee and health requirements.
Montreal, QuebecAges 50 years+ - NCT07386600Recruiting
Comparing two drugs for knee replacement pain relief
This trial tests two different drugs (dexamethasone and dexmedetomidine) added to a standard nerve block for knee replacement. It aims to see which one provides better pain control after surgery.
PoznanAges 65–100 - NCT07347028Recruiting
Trigger point injections for knee osteoarthritis pain
This trial tests whether injecting medication into muscle knots (trigger points) can reduce knee pain in people with knee osteoarthritis. It may be an option if other treatments haven't helped enough.
Beijing, Beijing MunicipalityAges 45 years+ - NCT07339137Recruiting
