In this episode of Joint Action, Professor David Hunter is joined by Dr. Bruno da Costa, Associate Professor of Clinical Epidemiology at the University of Toronto and Senior Scientist at the University of Oxford, to unpack the evidence behind injections for osteoarthritis.
Dr. da Costa shares insights from his recent systematic review and network meta-analysis of clinical trials, revealing just how limited - and at times unreliable - the evidence is for many joint injection therapies.
This episode explores:
- Which injections (if any) offer real benefit - and for how long
- The surprising extent of bias in osteoarthritis trials
- Why some results may not be as credible as they seem
- The role of placebo effects and commercial influence
- What this means for people living with osteoarthritis
If you’ve ever considered injection therapy, this episode will help you sort fact from fiction.
