This study compares two different steroid knee injections—Zilretta and Kenalog—to see which works better for people with both knee osteoarthritis and type 2 diabetes. It uses a continuous glucose monitor to track blood sugar changes.
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 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.
This study tests a new way to treat knee osteoarthritis using a patient's own fat tissue. The fat is processed with a special device and then injected into the knee to see if it helps reduce pain and improve joint function.
This study tests whether giving a dose of insulin before a knee steroid injection helps keep blood sugar from spiking afterwards. It is for people with type 2 diabetes who are not already using insulin or certain diabetes pills.
