Trigger point injections for knee osteoarthritis pain
Part of Brain & nervous system clinical trials.
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.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.

- You are at least 45 years old.
- Your pain level is 3 or more on a 0-10 scale, despite trying other treatments.
