Summary

This study compared a single injection of sterile amniotic fluid to the standard steroid shot for knee osteoarthritis. 60 adults with moderate knee arthritis who had not gotten relief from other treatments took part. The main goal was to see if the amniotic fluid could reduce the need for extra pain shots within 6 months. Researchers also tracked pain and knee function using standard surveys.
