The authors reviewed the literature focusing on the use of anti-inflammatory agents and massage in osteoarthritis, aiming at updating the major aspects of the medical management of this pathology.
We conducted a review of the literature in PubMed between October 2012 and January 2013, using the MeSH terms “Administration, Topical”, “Anti-Inflammatory Agents, Non-Steroidal”, “Osteoarthritis” and “Massage” of English articles without time limit. Subsequently, “related citations” of the items found were added, and the articles considered relevant to the work selected, considering the subject.
The authors concluded that massage, topical NSAIDs, or a combination of both appear to be safe and potentially effective options that may have a role in a rehabilitation program and contribute to the reduction of antiinflammatory and analgesic oral intake in the osteoarthritis treatment.
