Clinical Trial: Sonographic Thigh Adjustment Ratio and Subcutaneous Fat Thickness as Predictors of Genicular Nerve Block Response in Knee Osteoarthritis

U.S., July 18 -- ClinicalTrials.gov registry received information related to the study (NCT07712419) titled 'Sonographic Thigh Adjustment Ratio and Subcutaneous Fat Thickness as Predictors of Genicular Nerve Block Response in Knee Osteoarthritis' on July 14.

Brief Summary: Knee osteoarthritis (KOA) is a leading cause of chronic pain and disability. Although genicular nerve block (GNB) is an effective treatment for many patients, treatment response varies considerably. Identifying imaging biomarkers that predict clinical response may improve patient selection and optimize treatment outcomes.

This prospective observational study aims to evaluate whether the Sonographic Thigh Adjustment Ratio (STAR), calculated as anterior quadriceps muscle ...
