1.	Macular Edema 09/01/2007 - "Best-corrected visual acuity was found improved in patients with diabetic macular edema 5 months after triamcinolone injection. " 07/01/2008 - "By multivariate analysis, eyes treated with periocular triamcinolone had a significant reduction in the risk of radiation-induced macular edema (P = 0.002; hazard estimate = 0.49; 95% confidence interval, 0.17- 0.80). " 11/01/2004 - "Intravitreal triamcinolone application provides significant improvement in visual acuity of diabetic patients and clinical course of macular edema, and may therefore be a promising approach in the primary treatment of diabetic macular edema." 09/01/2004 - "To investigate the efficacy of intravitreal triamcinolone (IVT) by evaluation of pattern electroretinogram (PERG) in diabetic patients with clinically significant macular edema (CSME). " 09/01/2009 - "Intravitreal triamcinolone is superior to observation for treating vision loss associated with macular edema secondary to CRVO in patients who have characteristics similar to those in the SCORE-CRVO trial. "
2.	Pain (Aches) 01/01/2007 - "While 19 patients (73%) experienced almost complete pain relief, five of the remaining seven patients improved with intramuscular triamcinolone. " 09/01/2015 - "At 6 months, both groups had significantly improved mean pain and function scores, compared to the baseline scores; however, the mean pain and function scores in the 6-month HA + CS treatment group were better than in the 6-month triamcinolone group. " 09/01/2015 - "The mean pain and function scores for the HA + CS and triamcinolone groups had significantly improved at 3 months, but the mean function scores in the HA + CS group were statistically significantly better when compared to the triamcinolone group. " 12/01/2015 - "Both medications demonstrated improvement in subject reported pain but between group comparison at 4 weeks showed that triamcinolone was superior (P=0.044). " 10/01/2013 - "At 3 and 6 months, patients who received triamcinolone had higher effectiveness and improvement in pain during activities and pain at night than those of control group. "
3.	Retinal Vein Occlusion 04/01/2009 - "The Standard Care versus COrticosteroid in REtinal Vein Occlusion (SCORE) Study includes 2 multicenter phase 3 randomized clinical trials evaluating the efficacy and safety of intravitreal triamcinolone: one involves participants with central retinal vein occlusion (CRVO) and one for participants with branch retinal vein occlusion (BRVO). " 12/01/2013 - "24 eyes of 24 patients (13 male and 11 female) with recent onset non-ischemic RVO (Retinal Vein Occlusion) underwent Posterior Sub-Tenon Triamcinolone (PSTT). " 04/01/2011 - "To evaluate the therapeutic effect of intravitreal triamcinolone (IVT) injection for recent branch retinal vein occlusion (BRVO).

" 04/01/1999 - "The present study was conducted to determine the efficacy of intralesional triamcinolone in augmenting results of endoscopic dilation in corrosive esophageal strictures. " 11/01/2007 - "Balloon dilatation and triamcinolone were parts of a treatment regimen that improved clinical signs in the majority of dogs diagnosed with nonneoplastic rectal strictures." 12/01/2012 - "The present study was conducted to determine the effectiveness of intralesional triamcinolone to improve the results of endoscopic dilation in esophageal strictures. " 12/01/2012 - "We injected triamcinolone before dilating the strictures. "
5.	Macular Degeneration (Age-Related Maculopathy) 02/01/2015 - "The apopto-phagocytic gene expression patterns during clearance of dying cells in the retina and the effect of triamcinolone (TC) upon these processes have relevance to development of age-related macular degeneration (AMD). " 06/01/2003 - "Possibly, intravitreal triamcinolone may be helpful for exudative age-related macular degeneration. " 01/01/2005 - "Analysis of longitudinal data from a randomized, double-masked, placebo-controlled trial of intravitreal triamcinolone for age-related macular degeneration (the Intravitreal Triamcinolone Study).
