First seen Jan 21, 2026 · Last updated May 16, 2026 · Updated 17 times

Summary

This study tests whether injecting a steroid into muscle trigger points (knots) works as well as injecting it directly into the knee joint for people with chronic knee osteoarthritis pain. About 1,000 adults aged 45 and older with knee pain will receive one of the two injections and be followed for 2 years. If successful, this could offer a simpler, safer treatment option.
