Comparing intraarticular triamcinolone hexacetonide vs saline for knee OA .
This study has been identified as potentially high impact.
OE's AI-driven High Impact metric estimates the influence a paper is likely to have by integrating signals from both the journal in which it is published and the scientific content of the article itself.
Developed using state-of-the-art natural language processing, the OE High Impact model more accurately predicts a study's future citation performance than journal impact factor alone.
This enables earlier recognition of clinically meaningful research and helps readers focus on articles most likely to shape future practice.
Intra-articular triamcinolone hexacetonide in knee osteoarthritis: factors influencing the clinical response
Ann Rheum Dis. 1995 May;54(5):379-8184 patients with knee osteoarthritis were randomized to intraarticular injection of either triamcinolone hexacetonide or placebo saline. The purpose of this study was to compare pain and functional outcomes between groups after 1- and 6-week follow-up. Results on pain scores demonstrate a significant reduction in pain after 1 and 6 weeks within both group, with significantly greater reduction in pain between baseline and 1 week documented in the triamcinolone hexacetonide group. Over 6 weeks, results for one-minute walk tests significantly improved within both groups, with no significant between-group differences reported.
