Steroid injection for knee pain with ultrasound guidance
Part of Bones, joints & muscles clinical trials.
This trial tests whether a steroid injection guided by ultrasound can reduce knee pain caused by a degenerative meniscus tear. It may help if you have ongoing knee pain that hasn't improved with pain relievers.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You have knee pain that is worse on the inner or outer side of the knee and hurts when pressure is applied
- Your pain level is greater than 4 out of 10 despite using pain medications like Tylenol or ibuprofen
- You have had an MRI in the last 6 months showing a wear-and-tear meniscus tear
- You have not had knee surgery or steroid injections in the affected knee in the past 3 months
- You can speak, read, and write French fluently

This trial looks at a treatment for a specific knee alignment and tissue problem inside the inner (medial) part of your knee. It may help people whose deep-squat knee pain is caused by rubbing (“impingement”) between the femur and the back part of the medial meniscus.
This trial tests a single injection of hyaluronic acid (a lubricating fluid) into the knee to relieve pain from degenerative meniscus tears—the kind caused by age and wear, not injury. The goal is to see if it safely reduces pain and improves how well your knee works.
This study compares two ways of injecting a steroid medication into arthritic knees: using landmark guidance (traditional method) with a higher dose versus ultrasound guidance (imaging) with a lower dose. The goal is to see which approach works better to reduce knee pain and improve function.
This trial tests whether a single dose of methylprednisolone (a steroid) can reduce pain after ACL knee surgery. You will be randomly assigned to receive either the steroid or a placebo, and your pain levels will be tracked.
This study tests whether a single steroid injection in the healthy knee (the one not being replaced) can reduce pain and improve recovery after total knee replacement. It may help people who have arthritis in both knees but are only having one replaced now.
This study tests if an injection made from amniotic fluid can reduce knee pain and improve function in people with moderate knee osteoarthritis. The goal is to give a long-lasting alternative to steroid or gel shots.
