The decrease in the severity of pain in affected knee will be assessed by 0-100 mm Visual Analog Scale (VAS) <br/ ><br>3. Joint tenderness (pain on palpation) will be graded on a 4-Point Likert Scale (0-3) based on the patientâ??s response to palpation over the affected joint. <br/ ><br>4. Patientâ??s Global Assessment of Response to Therapy (PGA) on a 5- point Likert Scale (0-4) <br/ ><br>5. Investigatorâ??s Global Assessment of Response to Therapy (IGA) on a 5-point Likert Scale (0-4) <br/ ><br>6. 50-Foot Walk Test (50-FWT) will also be used to study physical performance.Timepoint: 6 Weeks
