Study: NSAIDs Recommended as Therapeutic Alternative for Osteoarthritis

Topical non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs are increasingly becoming available and are being used as a therapeutic alternative for patients with osteoarthritis, according to a study published in the Journal of Multidisciplinary Healthcare.

For the study, conducted in the Center for Pain Management at the Rehabilitation Institute of Chicago, researchers reviewed current treatment guidelines for patients with osteoarthritis and chronic pain.

These guidelines, from the American Academy of Orthopaedic Surgeons, American College of Rheumatology and National Institute for Health and Clinical Excellence, recommend the use of topical NSAIDs for the treatment of osteoarthritis.
