Article Synopsis
- The review aimed to evaluate the effectiveness of intra-articular steroid therapy (IAST) for treating hip osteoarthritis (OA), focusing on its efficacy and duration.*
-
- Twelve trials were analyzed, showing that IAST significantly reduces pain in hip OA patients both immediately and up to 12 weeks after treatment, though the impact of certain factors like baseline severity remains debated.*
-
- The study concluded that while IAST is effective and generally well-tolerated, more research is needed for long-term safety and efficacy data.*
