Halt the Pain and Progression of Osteoarthritis
Osteoarthritis (OA) is a chronic degenerative joint disease characterised by pain and progressive functional limitation. Viscosupplementation with intra-articular hyaluronic acid (HA) is a treatment option in knee and hip OA and potentially should apply to all synovial joints in order to reduce pain and improve joint lubrication. Exogenous HA can enhance chondrocyte HA synthesis, prevent the degradation of cartilage, reduce the production of proinflammatory mediators and promote its regeneration.
