Introduction Osteoarthritis can be debilitating, but new research shows that Arthrosamid may offer lasting relief. Here’s how the science stacks up.
What Is Polyacrylamide Hydrogel? It’s a synthetic, highly biocompatible substance that mimics the consistency of natural cartilage. It holds water, providing shock absorption within the joint. Polyacrylamide hydrogel has been safely used in various medical applications for decades, including in eye surgery and soft tissue augmentation.
How Does It Help with Osteoarthritis? When injected, the hydrogel reduces joint friction, lessens inflammation, and may even slow cartilage degeneration over time. It does not regenerate cartilage, but by improving lubrication and cushioning, it significantly reduces pain and improves function.
What Does the Research Say? Clinical trials have shown significant improvements in pain and function scores (such as WOMAC) for up to 156 weeks after a single injection. Ongoing studies are also evaluating its use in broader patient populations and in combination with physiotherapy or lifestyle interventions.
Conclusion Arthrosamid works by addressing both the mechanical and inflammatory components of osteoarthritis — offering a scientifically backed alternative to traditional treatments. Its novel mechanism and proven durability make it a standout among injectable therapies.
