Should osteoarthritis be treated with nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs?

K D Brandt. Rheum Dis Clin North Am. 1993 Aug.

Abstract

Numerous studies have demonstrated the efficacy of nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs) and their superiority to placebo as symptomatic treatment for osteoarthritis (OA). Unquestionably, use of NSAIDs has reduced joint pain and improved mobility for millions of patients with OA. This article explores the uncertainty that exists regarding the use of NSAIDs in the treatment of OA.
