Summary

This study looks at whether taking ibuprofen (a common painkiller) changes how well dextrose prolotherapy injections work for knee osteoarthritis. Researchers will give 68 adults aged 45-75 either ibuprofen or a placebo alongside a series of three knee injections over 8 weeks. The goal is to see if combining these treatments is safe and effective for reducing pain and improving knee function.
