CRD SUMMARY:

This review assessed intra-articular hyaluronic acid for treating pain from knee osteoarthritis. The authors concluded that intra-articular hyaluronic acid has a modest early effect on pain but not at 15 to 22 weeks. The authors' conclusions appear to reflect the evidence presented, but differences between the studies and other review limitations mean that the reliability of these conclusions is unclear.
