Classical vs Revised Targets in Genicular Nerve Block With Corticosteroids for Knee Osteoarthritis .

A Comparison of Genicular Nerve Blockade With Corticosteroids Using Either Classical Anatomical Targets vs Revised Targets for Pain and Function in Knee Osteoarthritis: A Double-Blind, Randomized Controlled Trial

Pain Med. 2021 May 21;22(5): 1116-1126.

Fifty-five patients with chronic knee pain due to osteoarthritis were randomized to receive genicular nerve blockade using classical targets (n=28) or revised targets (n=27). The primary outcome of interest was pain scores on a Numeric Rating Scale (NRS). Secondary outcomes of interest included the proportion of successful responders (i.e., at least 50% reduction in NRS pain score), knee function, pain medication consumption, patient perception of treatment, and quality of life. Outcomes were assessed up to 12 weeks post-intervention. Results revealed significantly lower NRS pain scores at 1 hour and 1 day post-intervention in the revised target group (p<0.05 for both). The number of positive responders at 1 hour post-intervention was significantly higher in the revised target group (p=0.028). Moreover, the Western Ontario and McMaster University (WOMAC) osteoarthritis index scores were significantly in favour of the revised group at 4 weeks post-intervention (p=0.033).
