Eleven separate working groups composed of OARSI members developed guidelines for conducting clinical trials in the areas of:
Osteoarthritis of the knee, hip and hand
Surgical trials
Non pharmacologic therapies including Diet/Exercise, Injury Prevention, and Post Surgery Rehabilitation
Biomarkers
Imaging/radiology of knee, hip, hand
Implementation
Biostatistical issues
This initiative is a good example of OARSI endeavors that aim for collaborative and fruitful discussions involving academic and industry members. OARSI Clinical Trial Guidelines are used by scientists, graduate students and clinical investigators worldwide and serve as the benchmark trial design. Guideline authors serve as authoritative leaders, mentors and collaborators for researchers developing progressively more advanced levels of investigation.
