Effect of Intraarticular Steroids on Bone Turnover in Osteoarthritis
In Brief
A clinical study evaluating Methylprednisolone and Lidocaine and Placebo and Lidocaine for Osteoarthritis. Completed, enrolled 25 participants across 1 site.
Detailed Summary
Oral and nasal steroids may enhance osteoporosis by suppressing bone formation. Intra-articular steroids may also suppress bone formation, however, the duration or relationship to a steroid dose has not been established. It is hypothesized that intra-articular steroids suppress bone formation transiently, returning to pretreatment levels within four weeks in subjects with osteoarthritis.
