Effect of ultrasound-guided genicular nerve neurolysis versus sham procedure on pain in patients with knee osteoarthritis: a randomized clinical trial
Ultrasound-guided chemical neurolysis of the SMGN, SLGN, RTGN, and IMGN with 95% ethanol is a safe and effective minimally invasive treatment for patients with refractory knee OA pain. It significantly reduces pain and opioid use while improving quality of life, making it a valuable therapeutic option for individuals ineligible for surgical intervention.
