A new treatment for osteoarthritis in horses and potentially humans

For the first time, an intervention has emerged that seems competent in slowing down osteoarthritis (OA) progression. In a clinical study from SLU and University of Gothenburg, OA horses treated with a novel drug combination became completely free from lameness with a simultaneous impediment of the joint tissue degradation. It could be worth exploring this drug for human OA intervention as well. The findings are published in the journal Osteoarthritis and Cartilage Open.
