Non-Pharmacological Approaches to the Treatment of Osteoarthritis

Abstract

Osteoarthritis (OA) is a progressive degenerative joint disorder that impacts millions of people globally. Common symptoms of osteoarthritis include pain, swelling, stiffness, muscular weakness, crepitation, restricted movement, and tenderness. OA remains a significant health issue that has a detrimental impact on the quality of life of individuals and places a significant burden on the healthcare system, despite the recent advancements in medicine. The current treatment protocol for osteoarthritis consists of three stages: non-pharmacological, pharmacological, and surgical interventions. Non-pharmacological interventions are commonly employed in the management of osteoarthritis. OA exhibits favourable responses to early intervention. The optimal strategy for avoiding the progression of OA in its first stages is the implementation of non-pharmacological interventions, which exhibit minimal adverse effects. Our study provides substantial knowledge about non-pharmacological methods employed in the treatment of OA.

Osteoartrit Tedavisinde Farmakolojik Olmayan Yaklaşımlar

Abstract

Osteoartrit (OA) tüm dünyada milyonlarca insanı etkileyen ilerleyici dejeneratif eklem hastalığıdır. Ağrı, şişlik, tutukluk, kas güçsüzlüğü, krepistasyon, hareket kısıtlılığı ve hassasiyet OA’nın yaygın bulgularıdır. Günümüzde tıp alanındaki gelişmelere rağmen, OA hala bireylerin yaşam kalitesini olumsuz etkileyen ve sağlık bakım sistemine muazzam bir yük bindiren önemli bir sağlık sorunudur. Osteoartrit için mevcut tedavi protokolü üç aşamadan oluşur: farmakolojik olmayan, farmakolojik ve cerrahi müdahaleler. Farmakolojik olmayan müdahaleler osteoartritin yönetiminde yaygın olarak kullanılmaktadır. OA erken tedaviye olumlu yanıt vermektedir. Hastalığın erken aşamalarında farmakolojik olmayan yaklaşımların etkin bir şekilde kullanılması OA’nın gelişiminin önlenmesinde yan etkisi en az olan seçenekler olarak karşımıza çıkmaktadır. Çalışmamız, OA tedavisinde kullanılan farmakolojik olmayan yöntemler hakkında önemli bilgiler sunmaktadır.
