Conditions
- Knee Osteoarthritis
Interventions
- Canal adductor blockade
- Canal adductor pulsed radio-frequency therapy
Primary outcomes
- Pain intensity — Baseline ,1 hour,1 month, 3 month and 6 months
Change From Baseline in Maximal and minimal Pain on the 11-point Numeric rating score Pain Scale (NRS 0-11) ;Numeric 11-point rating score is widely accepted self-reported score for measurement of chronic and acute pain in researches.Possible scores range are between 0-free of pain and 10-the worst imaginable pain. - KOOS — Baseline ,1 hour,1 month, 3 month and 6 months
The Knee injury and osteoarthritis outcome(KOOS) score change in percentage from baseline and 1 month following adductor canal block \[ Time Frame: Baseline and 1 month following adductor canal block \] KOOS is valid,reliable outcome measure in patients with knee osteoarthritis. usually used following knee surgery.This method is recognised as useful also in other and nonsurgical knee treatment.Shortened version widely used in North America is western Ontario and McMaster Universities Index(WOMAC)
