Correlation Between Radiographic Severity
of Knee Osteoarthritis and Future Disease Progression. Results from
a 3-year prospective, Placebo-controlled Study Evaluating the Effect
of Glucosamine Sulfate.
| Article
Summary: |
This
study investigated osteoarthritis and the joint
space narrowing associated with osteoarthritis after
3 years of treatment in a study. The joint space
narrowing was taken at baseline and again after
3 years to determine how much it has changed over
the course of the study. Glucosamine sulfate was
administered to some of the participants. The joint
space narrowing was significantly less for those
patients who took the glucosamine sulfate. There
was also a reduction in the joint space narrowing
for those who took glucosamine sulfate. This suggests
that those patients who have arthritis and are experiencing
joint space narrowing would benefit from glucosamine
sulfate treatments which aid in minimizing and repairing
this problem. |
