Tested different cortisone doses for knee osteoarthritis pain
Treatments studied
Part of Bones, joints & muscles, Pain clinical trials.
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.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You have primary knee osteoarthritis (gonarthrosis) symptoms for more than 6 months.
- Your X-rays show mild to moderate arthritis (Kellgren-Lawrence grade 1–3), not severe (grade 4).
- Your knee pain is triggered by activity and falls between 4 and 7 on a 0–10 pain scale.
- Your problem is in one knee only (not both knees).
- You did not have a cortisone shot in that knee in the last 3 months.
- You did not have hyaluronic acid or platelet-rich plasma injections in that knee in the last 12 months.

This trial compares two injections for knee osteoarthritis: one made from your own blood (platelet-rich fibrin) and a standard steroid shot. It aims to see which works better for people with mild to moderate knee pain that hasn't improved with other treatments.
This study tests a new cell-based injection (Allocetra) directly into the knee joint for people with moderate osteoarthritis who haven't benefited from other treatments. The goal is to reduce pain and improve knee function.
