Abstract

Osteoarthritis (OA) is a degenerative joint disorder that causes joint pain and stiffness. Knee osteoarthritis is a chronic progressive disease affecting more than 20% of people older than 45 years. Platelet‐rich plasma (PRP) is considered a recent line of management of OA. PRP helps in repair of the tissue and decreases disease progression hence decreases health care burden and patient financial burden by reducing surgical intervention. To compare analgesic effect of intra articular Platelet rich plasma and Triamcinolone in patient of osteoarthritis knee. Total of 62 patients with Grade 1, 2 and 3 osteoarthritis of knee according to American college of Rheumatology coming to Pain clinic in Sir T. hospital, Bhavnagar from 1st July 2021‐31st December 2022. The study included two groups and subjects were assigned the group by randomized sampling. Patients of Group P were given PRP injection and Group S were given Injection Triamcinolone. Both the groups are evaluated by Visual analogue score (VAS) for pain and KOOS score for functional improvement at day 0, at 6 weeks interval and at 3 months interval. Statistical analysis was done by applying t‐test and calculating the p‐value. There was no significant statistical difference between both the groups regarding VAS score and KOOS score in pain of osteoarthritis of knee. Intra articular PRP and Triamcinolone were effective in reducing pain of osteoarthritis of knee, both of them showing almost equal results.
