Abstract
Osteoarthritis is a progressive disorder of the joints, caused by gradual loss of cartilage, and the resulting joint pain and functional limitations. Treatment for osteoarthritis aims to relieve pain and reduce other symptoms. However, there are agents (chondroprotective) suggested to prevent the loss of cartilage. The aim of this chapter is to examine the chondroprotective efficacy of nutritional agents, diacerein, and viscosupplementation, which may change the course of the disease.
