ReviewOsteoarthritis year 2010 in review: non-pharmacologic therapy.
To highlight seminal publications in the past year on the topic of non-pharmacologic management of osteoarthritis (OA). ⋯ High quality studies of the safety and efficacy of non-pharmacologic agents in the management of OA remain challenging due to difficulties with adequate blinding and appropriate selection of attention controls. High quality studies suggest modest, if any, benefit of many non-pharmacologic therapies over attention control or placebo, but a significant impact of both over no intervention at all.
