Comprehensive approach to the choice of therapy in patients with osteoarthritis at the first visit to the doctor. Expert consensus (literature review and resolution) by A. M. Lila, O. N. Tkacheva, N. N. Yakhno, A. V. Naumov, L. I. Alekseeva, Yu. V. Kotovskaya, M. V. Putilina, M. L. Kukushkin, A. Yu. Kochish, E. A. Taskina, G. R. Abuzarova

“…The article discusses: current clinical guidelines for the management of patients with OA; most common problems in the management of patients with OA in real clinical practice; goals of treatment strategies for OA taking into account the risk factors for its progression; an algorithm of pain relief during initial treatment in patients with OA; prevention of OA exacerbations with the use of basic structure-modifying drugs; recommendations for the choice of non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs.According to experts, a rational approach to the treatment of OA is based on the combined use of non-drug and pharmacological methods with constant monitoring of therapy regimens and side effects. These recommendations can be considered disease-modifying strategies that in many cases allow improving functional status and achieving long-term remission in patients with OA.…”
