To evaluate the effect of intra-articular injections of sodium bicarbonate with a single (SBCG1) or double dose (SBCG2) of calcium gluconate administered monthly compared with methylprednisolone (MP) for treatment of knee osteoarthritis.
A 3-month, randomized, double-blind clinical trial with patients diagnosed with knee osteoarthritis (OA). The outcome variables were the Western Ontario-McMaster University Osteoarthritis Index (WOMAC) and the Lequesne functional index.
After 3 months, all treatments significantly improved in overall WOMAC and Lequesne scores. Mean changes (95% confidence interval) in WOMAC total score and the Lequesne index, respectively, for SBCG1 (-12.5 [-14.3, -10.7]; -9.0 [-11.4, -6.7]) and SBCG2 (-12.3 [-14.3, -10.4]; -8.9 [-10.4, -7.4]) were significantly greater than for MP (-5.0 [-7.2, -2.8]; -3.2 [-4.9, -1.5]) ( < .001).
Intra-articular injections of sodium bicarbonate and calcium gluconate are useful for short-term relief of OA symptoms in patients with bilateral knee osteoarthritis. Both treatments are more effective than MP injections in the reduction of knee OA symptoms.

评估每月关节腔内注射单剂量(SBCG1)或双剂量(SBCG2)葡萄糖酸钙的碳酸氢钠与甲基强的松龙(MP)相比治疗膝骨关节炎的效果。
对诊断为膝骨关节炎(OA)的患者进行为期3个月的随机双盲临床试验。观察指标为西安大略和麦克马斯特大学骨关节炎指数(WOMAC)和勒凯斯内功能指数。
3个月后,所有治疗组的WOMAC和勒凯斯内总分均显著改善。SBCG1组(-12.5 [-14.3, -10.7];-9.0 [-11.4, -6.7])和SBCG2组(-12.3 [-14.3, -10.4];-8.9 [-10.4, -7.4])的WOMAC总分和勒凯斯内指数的平均变化(95%置信区间)显著大于MP组(-5.0 [-7.2, -2.8];-3.2 [-4.9, -1.5])(P<0.001)。
关节腔内注射碳酸氢钠和葡萄糖酸钙对双侧膝骨关节炎患者的OA症状有短期缓解作用。两种治疗方法在减轻膝OA症状方面均比MP注射更有效。
