Florent Richy,Olivier Bruyère,Olivier Ethgen,Michel Cucherat,Yves Henrotin,Jean-Yves Reginster +5 more
TL;DR: This study demonstrates the structural efficacy of glucosamine and indistinguishable symptomatic efficacies for both compounds in knee osteoarthritis and further studies are needed to investigate the relationship among time, dose, patient baseline characteristics, and structural efficacy for an accurate, disease-modifying characterization of these 2 compounds.
Journal ArticleDOI
