| Core Tip |
Among the reviewed guidelines, there is agreement on first-line therapies, specifically weight loss, exercise, and topical non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs). Secondary treatment options, such as oral NSAIDs, intra-articular corticosteroids, and acetaminophen, are recommended but with varying support. Beyond these therapies, the guidelines provide substantially varied recommendations. Emerging therapies that are not covered by current guidelines, such as minimally invasive interventions and novel pharmacological agents, offer promising alternative strategies. |
