  • Does intra-articular polyacrylamide hydrogel (Paag) treat knee OA?
  • The present study has been conducted to establish an initial estimate of effectiveness of intra-articular (IA) injection of a proprietary 2.5% cross-linked polyacrylamide hydrogel (PAAG) for the treatment of knee OA symptoms and signs. Patients with knee OA were invited into a prospective open-label cohort study.
  • Is a polyacrylamide hydrogel a new treatment option for osteoarthritis?
  • Inra-articular HA injections have been recommended for osteoarthritis treatment [ 4, 5 ]. As an alternative, polyacrylamide hydrogels (PAH) have also gained popularity in recent years, especially in Asia [ 6, 7 ]. However, it is a new treatment option; it should be critically investigated before treating our patients.
  • How effective is polyacrylamide hydrogel for equine osteoarthritis?
  • Recent clinical and experimental trials have demonstrated that intra-articular 2.5% Polyacrylamide hydrogel (PAAG) is highly effective (82.5% free of lameness horses at 2 year follow-up), lasting and safe for the treatment of equine osteoarthritis (OA).
  • How effective are intra-articular injections for knee OA?
  • An observational proof-of-concept cohort study has been conducted at baseline and after 4, 7, and 13 months in order to establish an initial estimate of the effectiveness of intra-articular injections of 2.5% PAAG 3 for the treatment of knee OA symptoms in 84 patients (48 females) .
