Efficacy of Corticosteroid and Local Anesthetic Injections Patients With Concomitant Pes Anserine Bursitis

Osteoarthritis Knees Both Clinical Trial

Official title: Comparison of the Efficacy of Corticosteroid and Local Anesthetic Injections Combined With Conventional Physiotherapy in Patients With Concomitant Pes Anserine Bursitis and Knee Osteoarthritis:

Status Completed

Clinical Trial Summary

To evaluate the efficiencies of local corticosteroid injections and local anesthetics in patients with concomitant pes anserine bursitis and osteoarthritis.

Clinical Trial Description

Several treatment options have been tried with varying success rates, including nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs, physiotherapy modalities, cold application with ice-packs, and injection of local anesthetics and/or corticosteroids. Despite a relatively high frequency of this painful condition, surprisingly, few studies have evaluated treatment strategies in randomized controlled study design. To the best of our knowledge, no study in the literature made a comparison of the efficacy of local anesthetic and corticosteroid injections in addition to physiotherapy in the treatment of pes anserine bursitis yet. Thus, we aimed to compare the treatment efficacies of physiotherapy alone, physiotherapy + local anesthetic injection, and physiotherapy + local corticosteroid injection in a randomized controlled study design in patients with concomitant osteoarthritis and pes anserine bursitis. ;
