Efficacy and predictive factors of response to intra-articular corticosteroids in knee osteoarthritis

In knee osteoarthritis (KOA), synovial inflammation is linked with pain, swelling and structural abnormalities. Intra-articular corticosteroids (IACS) have been considered for pain relief in subjects who are non-responders to standard therapy. However, the results vary across different studies. This...
