Outcome Measures
Primary Outcomes (1)
Numerical Rating Scale (pain)
Decrease in pain from baseline at one month
1 month
Study Arms (2)
Blind Steroid Injection
ACTIVE COMPARATORBlind Steroid Injection for patients with OA deemed qualified for it clinically
Fluoroscopy guided steroid injection
ACTIVE COMPARATORFluoroscopy guided Steroid Injection for patients with OA deemed qualified for it clinically. We want to see which one is better.
Interventions
We want to compare if there is a difference between the two arms, with the assumption that with fluoroscopy will deliver the steroid more accurately and see better outcomes.
Want to compare it to fluoroscopy guided, with assumption that it will be less effective in reducing pain
Eligibility Criteria
