  • Both treatments were relatively safe, with no serious adverse events reported in the study.
  • One hundred four patients with osteoarthritis participated in this double-blind controlled study.
  • The effect of hyaluronic acid was maintained for three months, while methylprednisolone's effectiveness declined after one month.
