| Research Abstract |
The purpose of this study is to analyze the effect of intra-articular injection of hyaluronan(HA) with or without mechanical stimulation (MS) using shaking board (OG giken) on osteoarthritis patients. Therefore we used physiological and biochemical methods. In our study, patients were divided into four groups, 1(normal therapy (NT)), 2(NT + HA treatment), 3(NT + MS) and 4(NT + HA treatment + MS). Uterine collagen C telopeptide (U-CTX) was used as cartilage degradation marker. Patient group 4 significantly decreased U-CTX concentration in compared with other groups. Furthermore, U-CTX levels significantly decreased in patients of slight symptom in compared severe symtom patients.
In conclusion, our results show that HA treatment with mechanical stimulation in early OA stage attenuate articular degradation in OA patients.
