Abstract
Chronic knee pain from osteoarthritis (OA) is a leading cause of disability, with limited treatment options for patients who fail conservative management and intra-articular (IA) injections. Genicular nerve blocks (GNBs) have emerged as a promising treatment for chronic knee pain, especially in patients who are not candidates for total knee replacement (TKR). This case series discusses six patients with chronic knee pain from OA who failed conventional treatments, including IA injections, and found significant relief with GNBs.
