Hyaluronic acid eases shoulder arthritisRetrospective evaluation of the efficacy of ultrasound-guided intra-articular hyaluronic-acid-based injections (Hyalubrix) in patients with glenohumeral osteoarthritis.
Most Relevant Research
We explored the impact of hyaluronic acid (HA) injections, specifically a formulation called Hyalubrix®, on patients suffering from glenohumeral osteoarthritis (GH-OA). The condition often leads to painful and disabling shoulder issues, and we aimed to find out if these injections could provide relief and improve overall quality of life.
By analyzing data collected from standard clinical practice, we focused on how patients rated their pain and shoulder function. Tools such as the Simple Shoulder Test and the Euro-Quality of Life Health Assessment allowed us to track their progress over time. We observed that more than half of the patients reported complete pain relief, while nearly 28% experienced a significant decrease in their discomfort. Such improvements led to noticeable boosts in overall joint function and quality of life.
Our findings affirm that hyaluronic acid injections can be a highly beneficial treatment option for individuals grappling with GH-OA. The positive responses from patients highlight the potential of this therapy to enhance not just physical function but also daily living.

A worthy competitor to medicinal chondroprotectors! The order arrived in 4 days, well packed, with the product matching the description and expiry date. The capsules are medium-sized, easy to take, and have a yeasty smell. I find this medication beneficial for my arthritis; the crunch in my knee joint disappears, and any discomfort subsides during exertion. My skin feels more hydrated, and fine wrinkles are less apparent. The convenient dosage of 100mg, when combined with adequate hydration and vitamin C, proves effective.
