The effect of hyaluronic acid injection compared to corticosteroids injection in hand osteoarthritis: a systematic review and meta-analysis of randomized control trials
Corticosteroid and HA injections offered similar pain relief in patients with hand OA. Further long-term studies are necessary to evaluate the functional outcomes and potential side effects. However, this conclusion should be interpreted with caution due to the small sample size of the studies (PROSPERO registration number: CRD42024511411).
