Currently, we do not have instrumental or biochemical tests considered as gold standards; the clinician will make a diagnosis of FM based on the patient’s medical history and subjective assessment. The symptoms can involve physical, cognitive and psychological disorders, with the presence of pain of different origins and classifications: nociplastic, nociceptive and neuropathic pain. Among the symptoms highlighted, postural disorders and neuromotor uncoordination emerge, whose functional dysfunctions can increase the mortality and morbidity rate. An alteration of the diaphragm muscle could generate such functional motor problems. Considering that the current literature underestimates the importance of breathing in FM, the article aims to highlight the relationship between motor and diaphragmatic difficulties in the patient, soliciting new points of view for the clinical and therapeutic framework.","PeriodicalId":502804,"journal":{"name":"Open Access Rheumatology: Research and Reviews","volume":" 1033","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2024-03-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"140091902","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

This study evaluates the efficacy and safety of a single intra-articular hyaluronic acid injection in knee osteoarthritis in real-world conditions, over a six-month period, aligning with the summary of safety and clinical performance (SSCP) required by the new regulation. Patients and Methods: Patients over 18 years of age with knee osteoarthritis, treated with a single injection of HA (Adant ® One, Meiji Pharma Spain, Spain) at a 3rd level hospital. Patients were treated and followed between January 1, 2020 and June 30, 2022. Demographic, clinical, and treatment-related data were collected, and efficacy regarding pain relief and/or function improvement was assessed using a Likert-type scale. Data were pseudo-anonymized and the comparison was performed using Fisher’ or Mann Whitney’ test. The study was approved by the Ethics Review Board of the Hospital Puerta de Hierro (Madrid, Spain). Results: We followed 20 patients with knee osteoarthritis, with a mean age of 61 years, 80% women, and with a high burden of comorbidities (90%). A total of 60% of patients presented Kellgren-Lawrence grade III–IV. Four patients (20%) returned before 6 months due to lack of efficacy. Of the other patients, 65% showed a clinical response that lasted more than 12 months in 38.5% of cases. Time until medical appointment and taking concomitant medication for knee osteoarthritis were associated with better clinical response (p < 0.05). Conclusion: The administration of a Adant ® One single intra-articular hyaluronic acid injection in knee osteoarthritis is effective, safe, and maintains the improvement over a six-month period. Our findings also emphasize the need of using standardized tools for accurate efficacy assessment and optimal patient care.","PeriodicalId":502804,"journal":{"name":"Open Access Rheumatology: Research and Reviews","volume":"4 2","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2024-03-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"140271259","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
