    Sodium hyaluronate injections effectively treat knee osteoarthritis pain and stiffness in mild to moderate cases. Most patients experienced relief and would repeat the treatment for managing symptoms before surgery.

    Area of Science:

    • Orthopedics
    • Rheumatology
    • Pharmacology

    Background:

    • Osteoarthritis (OA) is a degenerative joint disease causing pain and stiffness.
    • Sodium hyaluronate is an injectable treatment option for OA.
    • Clinical outcomes of sodium hyaluronate injections require further evaluation.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To assess the clinical efficacy of sodium hyaluronate injections in patients with knee osteoarthritis.
    • To evaluate patient-reported outcomes regarding pain, stiffness, and function.
    • To determine patient willingness to undergo repeat treatments.

    Main Methods:

    • A prospective study tracking 73 knee OA patients receiving five sodium hyaluronate injections.
    • A mailed questionnaire assessed six functional areas: pain, stiffness, walking, stairs, swelling, and night symptoms.

    Related Experiment Videos

  • A 95% questionnaire return rate ensured robust data collection.

    • Main Results:

    • Injectable sodium hyaluronate demonstrated viability for mild to moderate knee OA.
    • Significant relief in pain and stiffness was reported by the majority of patients.
    • Most patients expressed willingness to repeat the sodium hyaluronate treatment series.

    Conclusions:

    • Sodium hyaluronate is an effective treatment for managing early-stage knee OA symptoms.
    • It provides symptomatic relief, improving patient comfort until surgical intervention is necessary.
    • Reimbursement is feasible with proper administrative protocols, supporting product accessibility.
