      <i_freetext>Intervention 1: Intervention group: 80 patients with mild to moderate osteoarthritis of the knee aged 75-45 years for whom the diagnosis was made by physical examination and knee AP graphy according to the criterion (grade lawrence-kellgren) by a rheumatologist based on the inclusion criteria. the patients who were referred to the clinic of Ghaem and Imam Reza hospitals and the specialists' office in Mashhad were selected and after filling out the consent form, they entered the study. they were followed up for 24 weeks. The sample selection was done through random numbers and the consort chart. For each patient, first, sufficient explanations are given about the plan and performance of it and also, the benefits of the injection and the possible side effects of it. The consent form and womac and (scale pain knee) Kps are completed and before starting the procedure, an oxycodone 30 mg tablet is prescribed by Farman Shimi Pharmaceutical Company.The syringes were prepared by a nurse who is not aware of the content of Syringes. syringes in the intervention group contained 5% dextrose and 25% dextrose from Samen Pharmaceutical Company (Mashhad-Iran). In supine position and in the knee with flexion of 10 to 15 degrees, intraarticularly by lateral approach method, under sterile conditions, injection of 6 cc of 25% dextrose solution with 2 cc of lidocaine Caspian vial injected with 22 g needle and 20 cc 5% dextrose solution with lidocaine is injected into the tissues and ligaments around it. The injection is given monthly for 3 months. Injectable dextrose in the knee is not a complication and, if present, includes local pain and a small accumulation of fluid in the tissue at the injection site, and rarely rash, urticaria, and itching at the injection site; It is a muscle cramp and paresthesia that all patients are given full explanations about the side effects of the drug so that in case of any of the side effects, they can immediately call the phone number given by the treating physician or, if possible, visit in person to relieve pain symptoms. And swelling of the injection site is given to NSAID patients and if necessary, the NSAID form is given and the patients' follow-up is done at intervals of 4, 8, 12, 16, 20 and 24 weeks after the injection and the KPS and WOMAC questionnaires are filled out.  Patients are advised to take acetaminophen as needed for a week and have a relative rest for the first three days. Patients are also advised to avoid analgesic NSAIDs and dietary supplements if possible during treatment. In case of severe need, indicate the number of days and days of drug use in the form of medication delivered to the patient and refrain from physiotherapy during treatment and do not use NSAIDs 48 hours before referral and injection. Clinical status and function of the patient with a questionnaire womac, Kps are checked in person at each visit and in weeks 4, 8, 12, 16, 20 and 24 and patients are given a mobile number and a landline number. Intervention 2: Control group: 80 patients with mild to moderate osteoarthritis of the knee aged 75-45 years for whom the diagnosis was made by physical examination and knee AP graphy according to the criterion (grade lawrence-kellgren) by a rheumatologist based on the inclusion criteria. the patients who were referred to the clinic of Ghaem and Imam Reza hospitals and the specialists' office in Mashhad were selected and after filling out the consent form, they entered the study. they were followed up for 24 weeks.
