International society develops 25 treatment recommendations for knee and hip osteoarthritis
Findings appear in the February issue of Osteoarthritis and Cartilage
MT. LAUREL, N.J., Feb. 19 /PRNewswire/ — A newly released set of treatment recommendations for knee and hip osteoarthritis may help millions of people worldwide who live in pain due to inconsistent treatment approaches and confusion about what therapies are most effective.
The 25 evidence-based, expert-consensus recommendations appear in the February issue of Osteoarthritis and Cartilage and can be found at http://www.oarsi.org.
These are the first evidence-based recommendations developed by a committee that was brought together two years ago by the Osteoarthritis Research Society International (OARSI). The goals were (1) to review all of the published national and regional treatment guidelines together with the more recent evidence from clinical trials and (2) to produce a single set of up-to-date, evidence-based recommendations for the worldwide treatment of knee and hip osteoarthritis.
