Brief Summary
Modification(s)  
Comparison of the efficacy between 2 nerve blocks- saphenous and genicular ultrasound guided in patients with osteoarthritic knee pain was done. Both blocks are equally good in terms of improvement in pain score, physical status, patient satisfaction and number of nerve block. Both these techniques provide good pain relief and improvement in physical disability to the patients at all-time interval of our study.
