Study to determine USG changes in Knee Osteoarthritis and Effect of Genicular nerve block

Not yet recruiting

Conditions: Osteoarthritis of knee, unspecified,

Registration Number: CTRI/2024/04/065041

Lead Sponsor: Mamta Bhagat

Brief Summary: After confirming the inclusion and exclusion criteria and taking a valid written consent,patient will be taken to pain OT,a pre procedure USG scan of knee will be done to correlate the changes of primary knee osteoarthritis with the severity of the Xray findings using the K-L radiological scores,and to determine if thereâ€™s a significant correlation between USG changes and the pain intensity measured by VAS and functioning scores with WOMAC questionnaire along with clinical examination findings. Post scan USG guided Genicular Nerve block is given using 0.25- 0.5% Ropivacaine in a volume of 4-5ml per nerve ,patient will be followed up for a period of 1 month post procedure at regular intervals to assess the efficacy of genicular nerve block in decreasing the VAS and WOMAC score in knee osteoarthritis patient coming to pain OPD.
