| Hope we have reduction of pain intensity,Patients will be assessed for pain intensity using a numerical scale from zero to 10 before the block and 15 days, 1, 3 and 6 months after the block; joint movement angle before the block and 1 and 6 months after the block; and WOMAC scale before the block and 15 days, 1, 3 and 6 months after the block. | — |
Secondary
| Measure | Time frame |
|---|---|
| Hope we have increased pain-free time, Patients will be assessed for pain intensity using a numerical scale from zero to 10 before the block and 15 days, 1, 3 and 6 months after the block; joint movement angle before the block and 1 and 6 months after the block; and WOMAC scale before the block and 15 days, 1, 3 and 6 months after the block.;A reduction in the use of rescue medications is expected, being assessed by the use of rescue in later assessments. | — |
