Abstract (english)
Background: Therapeutic genicular nerve block (TGNB) is both an effective and safe treatment procedure for pain related to chronic osteoarthritis of the knee (OA). It is most common amongst the elderly. It is characterized by joint stiffness, pain and disability. Aim: The aim of this study was to examine the analgesic and functional impact of ultrasound-guided TGNB in patients with chronic knee OA and to evaluate the efficacy of local anesthetics and corticosteroids. Patients and methods: The study included 20 patients. Pain was assessed according to the numerical pain scale (NRS), and improvement of the functional capacity was assessed according to the WOMAC Index (Western Ontario and McMaster Universities Osteoarthritis Index). SLGN, SMGN and IMGN were identified, and 3 mL of a mixture of local anesthetic (ropivacaine 0.75%) and corticosteroid (triamcinolone 40 mg) were applied to each nerve. Results: The average NRS value before TGNB was 5.1, and the WOMAC score was 58.55. After the TGNB was performed, NRS was 2.4 (47% decrease in pain intensity) and WOMAC was 30.1 (51% decrease in the intensity of ailment). Conclusion: TGNB is effective and not harmful in treating pain and enhances the functional capacity in patients with knee OA. The clinical benefits of corticosteroid administration suggest that it may be an appropriate adjuvant in TGNB for knee OA.
Abstract (croatian)
Terapijski genikularni blok (TGNB) siguran je i učinkovit terapijski postupak u liječenju kronične boli povezane s osteoartritisom (OA) koljena. Uobičajeno OA koljena pogađa osobe starije životne dobi, a karakterizira ga bol, otok i ukočenost zahvaćenog zgloba. Cilj je prikazati učinkovitost TGNB pod kontrolom ultrazvuka, i sigurnu primjenu kombinacije lokalnog anestetika i kortikosteroida u liječenju bolesnika sa kroničnom boli uslijed OA koljena procjenom analgetskog učinka i poboljšanja funkcijske sposobnosti ispitanika Ispitanici i metode Prikazom je obuhvaćeno 20 bolesnika. Intenzitet boli je procijenjen koristeći numeričku skalu boli (NRS), a funkcijski kapacitet primjenom WOMAC indeksa (Western Ontario and Mc Master Universities Osteoarthritis Index). Pri izvođenju TGNB ultrazvukom se prikažu SLGN, SMGN i IMGN, i na svaki aplicira 3 ml mješavine lokalnog anestetika (ropivacain 0,75%) i kortikosteroida (triamcetan 40 mg). Rezultati Prosječna vrijednost NRS prije izvođenja TGB iznosila je 5,1, a vrijednost WOMAC scora 58,55. Nakon učinjenog TRG prosječna je vrijednost NRS bila 2,4 (47% smanjenje intenziteta boli), a WOMAC scora 30,1 (51% smanjenje intenziteta tegoba). Zaključak Ultrazvučno vođena TGNB je sigurna, učinkovita i lako primjenjiva metoda u liječenju kronične boli i poboljšanju funkcijskog kapaciteta u bolesnika s OA koljena. Štoviše, primjena kortikosteroida sugerira kako su prikladan adjuvans lokalnom anestetiku pri izvođenju TGNB.
