Intervention / Comparator Agent  
Type  Name  Details 
Intervention  USG guided genicular nerve block  USG guided genicular nerve block in three sites namely superomedial superolateral and inferomedial area of knee joint with 3 ml aqueous phenol 6% on each site, 3 ml ethyl alcohol 95% on each site and triamcinolone 20 mg with lignocaine 2% total 3 ml on each site for single intervention and will be reviewed on 0 week baseline 4th week 12th week 24th week post intervention with total duration of study 18 months including recruitment of participants to result analysis 
Comparator Agent  USG guided genicular nerve block  Participants will be allocated in any of the following three groups one group will receive genicular nerve block with 6% aqueous phenol second group will receive genicular nerve block with 95% ethyl alcohol and the participants of the third group will receive genicular nerve block with 20mg triamcinolone with 2% lignocaine each group will act as comparator for the other

Brief Summary  

Osteoarthritis knee (OA knee) causes significant pain and disability in the aged population. Increasing trend in prevalence data of OA Knee in the Indian subcontinent needs urgent, specific management protocol to reduce the morbidity of the patient, caregivers’ burden, and socio-economic burden. With increasing grading of OA knee; there is increasing chances of disability, decreasing pain control, increasing pill burden of patients, and increasing medication related side effects also and many of them don’t want to undergo for surgery or otherwise contraindicated for surgical intervention. The present study aims to describe the role of genicular nerve block by 6% aqueous phenol, 95% ethyl alcohol and triamcinolone 20 mg with 2% lignocaine, under USG guidance in treatment of Grade III and Grade IV OA knee. As there are scarcity of evidences of newer methods of treatment, its practical implications, and head to head study of newer agents are also lacking; hence this is our humble approach.
