Chronic knee pain from osteoarthritis (OA) is a leading cause of disability, with limited treatment options for patients who fail conservative management and intra-articular (IA) injections. Genicular nerve blocks (GNBs) have emerged as a promising treatment for chronic knee pain, especially in patients who are not candidates for total knee replacement (TKR). This case series discusses six patients with chronic knee pain from OA who failed conventional treatments, including IA injections, and found significant relief with GNBs.
骨关节炎(OA)引起的慢性膝关节疼痛是导致残疾的主要原因,对于保守治疗和关节内(IA)注射无效的患者,治疗选择有限。膝神经阻滞(GNBs)已成为治疗慢性膝关节疼痛的一种有前景的方法,尤其是对于那些不适合全膝关节置换(TKR)的患者。本病例系列讨论了6例因OA导致慢性膝关节疼痛且传统治疗(包括IA注射)无效的患者,他们通过GNBs获得了显著缓解。
