that position is sorely lacking. After all I could claim just about anything I wanted to claim if I based those claims on a single study. BTW where's the citation on that study? Also, your implication that chiropractic treatment is "expensive" or a "total waste of money" is completely contradicted by actual long term government research demonstrating that chiropractic treatment is not only effective but also cost effective when compared to medical treatment for similar complaints. Furthermore, when was the last time you disputed a medical claim based on a lack of supporting studies or "proof?" If you've actually read any medical studies you'll find that most of them are not of the "highest level of evidence -- placebo-controlled, double-blind clinical trials" In fact, many of them have obvious confounding factors and conflicts of interest. Simply knowing the terminology does not mean that you understand what you're talking about. Then consider, since we're talking about OA, why it is that most of the general public thinks OA is caused by aging. If you're honest you'll realize that it is because most physicians have been telling their patients for generations that arthritis is caused by aging. "You're just getting old, accept it" Chiropractors have been telling their patients for generations that age although a factor (through time) is not the determinant of this disease; it's actually the biomechanics of the joints. Knowledge got it right under the "Causes" section. However, if you want to understand why chiropractors claim that chiropractic treatment can help some cases of OA particularly spinal OA, consider something called Wolff's Law. It's in just about every first year students' physiology text book. Then look up the basis for this law called the Piezoelectric Effect. I'll let you connect the dots but please do at least a semblance of research yourself before you criticize someone else's comments. Also, consider that studies that seem to "prove" some scientific "fact" are often disputed or found faulty shortly thereafter. It may be more appropriate for you criticize the pharmacological or medical approach for lack of efficacy, higher risk for detrimental side effects and eventual push for ineffective and overly utilized surgery. Chiropractic treatment can not only prevent/delay OA in many cases it can actually reverse OA by restoring the normal biomechanics of the joints. This claim is based on Wolff's Law. However, it's not a quick fix. In most cases it takes years for the degenerative changes to develop. It makes sense that it will take in some cases years for the body to remodel those bones. What doesn't make sense is to claim that some pills will make it all better in a matter of hours. Why, because they are magical? Where's the study on that?

capsule, synovial membrane, and periarticular muscles. Ultimately, the articular cartilage degenerates with fibrillation, fissures, ulceration, and full thickness loss of the joint surface. OA diseases are a result of both mechanical and biologic events that destabilize the normal coupling of degradation and synthesis of articular cartilage of chondrocytes and extracellular matrix, and subchondral bone. Although they may be initiated by multiple factors, including genetic, developmental, metabolic, and traumatic, OA changes involve all of the tissues of the diarthrodial joint. Ultimately, OA dis- eases are manifested bymorphologic, biochemical, molecular, and biomechani- cal changes of both cells and matrix which lead to a softening, fibrillation, ulceration, loss of articular cartilage, sclerosis and eburnation of subchondral bone, osteophytes, and subchondral cysts. When clinically evident, OA diseases are characterized by joint pain, tenderness, limitation of movement, crepitus, occasional effusion,

You changed this to say: "A difference has been found between trials involving glucosamine sulfate and glucosamine hydrochloride, with glucosamine sulfate showing a benefit and glucosamine hydrochloride not. It is thus recommends to discontinue glucosamine if no effect is observed after six months". I can appreciate the shortening and tightening of the text, but there's no reason for the "thus", since these two concepts are not related, and the "it" in this case is now undefined. I don't see why we should remove references to effect size, since without discussing it the reader is left basically in the dark about how to compare different treatments. Incidentally, be careful that when you mean to say "while" you don't say "well".

severe pain.75 Furthermore, in a 30- month longitudinal study of patients who had symptomatic knee OA,76 changes in synovitis, as graded by MRI, correlated only modestly with changes in knee pain. The relatively weak correlation suggests that synovitis was not the only, or even the major, cause of the joint pain. Furthermore, pain was not correlated with the loss of articular cartilage in either the tibiofemoral or patellofemoral compartment and changes in synovial effusion were not correlated with changes in pain. In contrast, in a sample of symptomatic subjects from the Osteoarthritis Initiative (OAI), Lo and colleagues77 found that maximal joint effusion scores on MRI were highly associated with knee pain even after adjustment for bone marrow lesion (BML) scores, suggesting that effusion (a manifestation of underlying synovitis) was independently associated with knee pain.

sources as useful supporting references so that people who actually want to weigh the strength of the underlying evidence behind the secondary sources can readily access it. I really feel the edits that "Doc James" made and that "Puhlaa" threatened me with ("If you dont replace the primary sources with secondary sources, someone will revert your changes again.Puhlaa (talk) 15:52, 9 November 2012 (UTC)" are efforts to dumb-down the OA article and make it antiquated. Research progress on OA has stalled out appallingly. My section on the search for DMOADs at least points to the direction of a glimmer of hope. It's contemporary; it is grounded in reliable sources; and it at least touches on research -- something that will be crucial to making progress on OA and other diseases but something that has been edited right off this page, thanks to "Doc James" and misguided application of

2600:. It suggests that "Even if pre-clinical data and some preliminary in vivo studies have suggested that ... strontium ranelate could be of potential interest in OA, additional well-designed studies are needed." I have not yet found a newer review on the topic. Thus, It does not seem like the scientific or medical communities are ready to start making bold claims for this drug just yet. However, it does seem that strontium ranelate could be added to the osteoporosis article, as there are a couple reviews that provide some favourable conclusions. The second drug mentioned in the suggested edits (parathyroid hormone) is in much earlier stages of research than strontium ranelate (according to the weak sources originally used), thus I am not confident that we will find any secondary sources that make claims of efficacy. 874:

it (with diminishing success and worsening consequences as we get older and the damage is ongoing)-- his article seems to be a largely reasonable recent review and I can see no reason why he would be misleading us about inflammation in OA. It is on this basis that I have put back the modest mentions of inflammation. Although Brandt finds the definition uselessly over-broad, here is what he quotes as the definition of OA put out in 1995 by "a workshop of experts in OA sponsored by the American Academy of Orthopaedic Surgeons; the National Institute of Arthritis, Musculoskeletal, and Skin Diseases; the National Institute on Aging; the Arthritis Foundation; and the Orthopaedic Research and Education Foundation":

associated with a reduction in pain and improved mobility." And if I knew why there wasn't a link between structural effects and WOMAC effects (in this research or just about any other study of OA) I'd be solving a question that has thus far stumped the medical establishment. The more important "forest" point (as opposed to the trees which preoccupy Those Who Know Best) is that this is the first time a large multicenter, multinational double-blind placebo-controlled clinical trial has offered credible evidence of an effective DMOAD. There are a few million people who might find a ray of hope in that, as their only prospect, as conveyed in this page, is joint deterioration and/or replacement.

represent the current state of knowledge about the issue. ***If there are more recent reviews of similar quality, we should use those instead.***" He specifically noted that if I found more recent reviews of similar quality, they should be used instead. This was not objected to by anyone. Sure you can remove the 2 other 2007 reviews and just include the 2008 ones. No big deal for me. I just think we should keep our criteria for inclusion consistent here since I'm getting conflicting feedback about what's acceptable as a source. I also don't mind leaving your study in since you're right- controversy should be noted.

information go where? The two arthritis magazines I cite are for patients and are reputable. That's the sort of "secondary source" people go to (if they're lucky; if they're unlucky they get sucked in by quacks pushing ineffective -sometimes even dangerous- crap typically with personal testimonials.) Without any references to areas of research Knowledge looks like it doesn't know about the latest things. Especially if these are clearly labelled as "research" it makes it clear we are looking ahead, not offering medical advice.

There's still controversy, and rather than summing it for the readers (i.e. "three sources say it's good, one says its bad, therefore it's actually good"), leave the reviews as is. Which is the better set of reviews? Are they comparable? Are the measures similar, the results similar, are the p-values similar, were the standards for the inclusion of reviews similar, were the quality of the trials similar? Can we say this, or would this be original research?" 908:

researchers have their hands full finding treatment options. An interesting, but possibly unrelated fact is that researchers in Cardiff have found that cold feet reduce blood flow in the nose. If the same happened in the capilary system around the cartilage of OA joints that might be a link. (Maybe the guys in Cardiff will look into it somewhen.) Unconscious/involuntary muscle contractions (like e.g. shivering) might be another cause. (No one seems to have studied that yet either)

Very simple, though mildly unpleasant in winter, but very effective. I have greatly reduced shoulder pain.

altered and degenerated mechanical properties of the joint. Studies with imaging and histologic studies have shown in people who are asymptomatic and have OA by imaging there is no inflamation clinically or histologically. Therefore, I would support adding language about episodes of synovitis associated with OA as more precise than saying OA is an inflamatory condition. I'll give it a couple of days for people to weigh in and edit accordingly.

else are they going to say but that chiropractic works for OA -- and best to come in frequently for expensive manipulations? I have a brother-in-law who thinks it helps and a father who thought it helped exactly once and was a total waste of money thereafter. Show me the medical literature and I'll go along with keeping this section in. For now I'm going to pare it down and make it so it doesn't sound like such a commercial advertisement.

Timeliness counts for every Knowledge subject except medicine??? One CAN write about uncertainty.

And yes, thank you, my Ph.D. as well as my 20+ years as a science writer do help me to understand bias. Including the sorts one finds in doctors and chiropractors. Very large, multicenter international trials with government funding (primary research) that also get raves from the head of a

you will NEVER have a page that is up-to-date. Why should medicine not be as current as any other subject? Could it be that the M.D. and Chiropractor who want to remove my well-sourced additions simply don't want their patients to be better informed than they are???

Ok, I am only 19 and i suffer from chronic knee pain, muscle contractions and cracking noises. This has been so ever since an incident in Karate practice a few years ago when a roundhouse sent my knee the wrong way. Does this mean i have this sort of arthritis?
