Apart from treating OA of the knee, HA has been used for the treatment of chronic shoulder pain associated with glenohumeral osteoarthritis (GH-OA) [33 ]. This study evaluates the safety and efficacy of HA in treating GH-OA, by employing a double-blind, randomised, controlled, multicentre trial in which 300 patients with GH-OA were eruoU 150 patients received HA and 150 received phosphate-buffered saline (PBS) in three weekly injections and were evaluate over 26 weeks. Primary and secondary outcome measurements were VAS for pain and the percentage of OMERACT-OARSI high responders.

Any type of arthritis may involve any of the shoulder girdle joints. The sternoclavicular joint is most commonly affected. Osteoarthritis of the glenohumeral joint is less common than in some of the other upper extremity joints.
