About
Using double-blind, randomized controlled design to compare the immediate, short-term and intermediate-term additional therapeutic effects of ultrasound-guided corticosteroid injection and dextrose injection of hyaluronic acid injection on patients with knee osteoarthritis, under the basis of International Classification of Functioning, Disability, and Health.
Full description
A total of 60 patients will be collected. The participants will be randomized into two groups, including hyaluronic acid combined corticosteroid group and hyaluronic acid combined dextrose group. The balance, physical activity (10 meters normal and fast walk, up and downstairs, and 5 repeated chair-rising time, timed up and go test), functional performance and knee-related quality of life (Western Ontario and McMaster Universities Osteoarthritis index、Knee Injury and Osteoarthritis Outcome Score) will be evaluated. All the evaluations will be re-evaluated at one week after injection, one month after injection, three months after injection, and six months after injection. Subjects and evaluators will be both blinded to the group's classification during the whole course of study.
