Intra-articular Therapy for Osteoarthritis: A Oasis in the Desert of Joint Pain

Osteoarthritis, a common joint disorder, affects millions worldwide. Intra-articular therapy is a common treatment option for osteoarthritis, involving injections directly into the affected joint. This research, published in Current Opinion in Rheumatology, reviews the various intra-articular therapies used for osteoarthritis, including corticosteroids, hyaluronic acid, and other experimental treatments. The authors conclude that while corticosteroids and hyaluronic acid are widely used, strong evidence supporting their efficacy in altering the progression of osteoarthritis remains elusive.

This research provides a valuable overview of the various intra-articular therapies used to treat osteoarthritis, highlighting the need for further research to determine their long-term efficacy. The authors also emphasize that corticosteroids and hyaluronic acid, despite the lack of conclusive evidence, remain popular treatment options for patients who have not responded to other therapies.
