Treatment of Chronic Articular Pain in Adults with Hemophilia.

CONCLUSION: Most adult PWH experience limitations in activities of daily living, and chronic articular pain affects their mental health. Pharmacologic treatment of pain in adult PWH has frequently proven to be inadequate. The optimal pharmacologic treatment of chronic articular pain in these patients is the use of paracetamol and COX-2 inhibitors. Physical medicine, rehabilitation and intra-articular injections of hyaluronic acid and corticosteroids should be second-line therapy. PMID: 29732985 [PubMed - as supplied by publisher]
