Summary
Genicular nerve block is a safe and effective therapeutic procedure for intractable pain
associated with chronic knee osteoarthritis (OA). There is increasing support for the
neuropathic component to the knee OA pain. Investigators proposed that targeting treatment to
the underlying pain mechanism can improve pain management in knee OA. There is a debate on
injectable solutions used in nerve blocks. Investigators aimed to investigate the efficacy of
genicular nerve block and to determine which solution should be appropriate for patients with
knee osteoarthritis who have neuropathic or nociceptive pain.
