The Effect of Hyaluronic Acid Injection on TNF-Alpha and IL-1β in Knee Osteoarthritis
Sponsor: Istanbul University
Summary
In this study, the effect of intra-articular HA injection therapy on pre- and post-treatment TNF-alpha and IL-1beta levels and methylation changes in blood and synovial fluid in patients with knee osteoarthritis will be determined and compared with the placebo group. In addition, the effects of HA injection on pain, functional status and quality of life will be evaluated and these effects will be related to changes in TNF-alpha and IL-1-beta.
