Abstract in brief

Knee osteoarthritis causes chronic pain and reduces quality of life; intraarticular corticosteroids are commonly used but their safety and effectiveness are debated.
The review analyzed 27 randomized trials with 1,767 participants, comparing corticosteroids to placebo or no treatment, and found they help reduce pain slightly, but the quality of evidence is low due to inconsistent results and high risk of bias.
Overall, corticosteroids may offer some pain relief, but the evidence isn't strong enough to confirm significant or consistent benefits, and safety concerns remain uncertain.]
