Effect of intra-articular corticosteroid injections for osteoarthritis on the subsequent use of pain medications: a UK CPRD cohort study
IACI for knee or hand osteoarthritis showed lower incidence of several pain medications over the longer-term relative to no IACI use. Secondary findings suggest IACI may be effective in reducing longer-term use of opioid-nonopioid analgesic combinations for patients with knee, hip, hand or shoulder osteoarthritis.
