This study compares the efficacy in terms of pain relief and complications of intra-articular Botulinum toxin-A (BoNT-A) with intra-articular Triamcinolone versus Triamcinolone alone in the treatment of osteoarthritic knee pain of severe grade. If effective, BoNT-A may help in reducing the long term adverse effects due to prolonged analgesic consumption and reduce/delay requirement of knee replacement surgeries.
