Knee Arthritis Injection: Two Injection Methods Compared
Part of Bones, joints & muscles, Pain clinical trials.
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.
