New models for primary care are needed for osteoarthritis
TL;DR: Primary care is the ideal arena to achieve high-impact secondary prevention of pain and disability in people with osteoarthritis and physical therapists are in a crucial position in primary care to provide support for self-management of this condition.
Journal ArticleDOI
A long-term, open-label study to confirm the safety of topical diclofenac solution containing dimethyl sulfoxide in the treatment of the osteoarthritic knee.
TL;DR: This long-term study of TDiclo revealed a safety profile comparable to that shown in multiple, shorter, well-controlled, double-blind trials with the predominant adverse effect noted being an application site reaction.

The general practitioner's role in promoting physical activity to older adults: a review based on program theory.
Timo Hinrichs,Michael Brach +1 more
TL;DR: It is agreed that the GP plays a central role in the promotion of physical activity to elderly people, but there is conflicting evidence concerning counseling effectiveness, and program theory is used to sound out knowledge on GP-centered physical activity counseling.

Hylan G-F 20 improves hip osteoarthritis: a prospective, randomized study.
Andrew I. Spitzer,Barry I. Bockow,Victoria A. Brander,James W. Yates,Daryl K. MacCarter,Garland K. Gudger,Stephanie Haller,Stephen Lake,Daniel Magilavy +8 more
TL;DR: Hylan G-F 20 provided clinically meaningful improvements in pain and function, comparable with those of MPA, with good safety and tolerability, and is concluded it is an appropriate option for treating hip osteoarthritis.
Journal ArticleDOI
Moxibustion is an Alternative in Treating Knee Osteoarthritis: The Evidence From Systematic Review and Meta-Analysis
TL;DR: Moxibustion treatment is equal to the oral drugs and intra-articular injections and may be an alternative in treating patients with KOA and is superior to usual care and sham moxibUSTion in reducing WOMAC score.

Measuring inconsistency in meta-analyses
TL;DR: A new quantity is developed, I 2, which the authors believe gives a better measure of the consistency between trials in a meta-analysis, which is susceptible to the number of trials included in the meta- analysis.
Journal ArticleDOI
Bias in meta-analysis detected by a simple, graphical test
TL;DR: Funnel plots, plots of the trials' effect estimates against sample size, are skewed and asymmetrical in the presence of publication bias and other biases Funnel plot asymmetry, measured by regression analysis, predicts discordance of results when meta-analyses are compared with single large trials.

Alejandro R. Jadad,R. A. Moore,Dawn Carroll,C. Jenkinson,David Reynolds,David J. Gavaghan,Henry J McQuay +6 more
TL;DR: An instrument to assess the quality of reports of randomized clinical trials (RCTs) in pain research is described and its use to determine the effect of rater blinding on the assessments of quality is described.
