Comparison of Varying Doses of Steroid for Intra-articular Knee Injections

Overview

The purpose of this study is to assess obese patients with knee arthritis and determine the non-inferiority of a low dose steroid treatment vs. standard dose steroid treatment for two knee outcome measures: pain and function.

Interventions

  • Drug Triamcinolone Acetonide Low Dose
    Subjects will receive a reduced dose of 20mg of triamcinolone acetonide. Total injection volume of 5ml, consisting of: * 0.5ml triamcinolone acetonide (20mg) * 4.5ml lidocaine (45mg)
  • Drug Triamcinolone Acetonide Standard Dose
    Subjects will receive the standard of care dose of 40mg triamcinolone acetonide Total injection volume of 5ml, consisting of: * 1ml triamcinolone acetonide (40mg) * 4ml lidocaine (40mg)

Primary outcome measures

  • Numerical Pain Scale (NPS) [Time frame: Baseline, 4 weeks, 12 weeks]
  • Knee Injury and Osteoarthritis Outcome score (KOOS) [Time frame: Baseline, 4 weeks, 12 weeks]
