Brief summary
Osteoarthritis or arthrosis is a disorder that can affect any joint of the body, like the knees. Osteoarthritis may result in pain, stiffness and loss of movement. Many treatments are available to reduce pain due to osteoarthritis.
Among these treatments, there are drugs termed chondroprotective. Chondroprotective drugs help protect cartilage by slowing down cartilage breakdown and helping it regenerate. They improve symptoms of osteoarthritis like pain and stiffness. Chondroitin sulfate is a natural chondroprotective substance present in the joints of the body. Structum® is a drug containing chondroitin.
To date, no real-world studies have been conducted to describe the burden associated with osteoarthritis in people treated with chondroitin. This study aims to understand how people live with knee osteoarthritis and how chondroitin sulfate may help improve their daily life.
