简要总结
The investigators aimed that the Comparison of effectiveness of the intra-articular steroid injection and radiofrequency thermocoagulation of the sensory branches of the femoral and obdurator nerves in coxarthrosis patients
详细描述
Osteoarthirtis is a deficency of articular cartilge which is caused by genetic, metabolic and biochemical factors. This is a pathologic period with cartilage, bone and sinovium destruction.
Pharmacological treatments and/or phsiycal medicine may not be enough to reduce pain in patients with chronic pain of osteoarthiritis. Intraarticular steroid injection is the most common used intervention method in analgesia of hip osteoarthirtis. Thus; cartilage inflammation can be decelerated and osteophyte formation can be prevented. On the other hand; because of less vascularity of hip joint, frequent steroid injections may cause aseptic necrosis.
In past decades, treatment to pain of hip joint pain caused by ostheoarthrits, radiofrequency ablation treatment is used to sensory nerves which cause pain. Especially, it can be a solution in patients who do not want to undergo a surgery.
Patients diagnosed with coxarthrosis will be randomly divided into two groups. One group will receive intra-articular steroid injection and the other group will receive radiofrequency thermocoagulation to the hip sensory nerve branches (femoral and obdurator). It was planned to compare the vas scores of the patients before and 1-3 months after the procedure with their effectiveness.

结局指标
主要结局
Visual Analog Scale comparison
时间窗: 3.month
VAS is the most common pain scale. Using a ruler, the score is determined by measuring the distance (mm) on the 10-cm line between the "no pain" anchor and the patient's mark, providing a range of scores from 0-100. A higher score indicates greater pain intensity.
