Abstract
Osteoarthritis (OA) is one of the common chronic pain diseases, with chronic pain and loss of mobility, and greatly affects people's quality of life. With the increasing of aging population in China, the incidence of OA rises gradually. To standardize the diagnosis and treatment of OA, the Pain Disease Branch of the Chinese Aging Well Association organized relevant experts, based on the "Chinese Osteoarthritis Guidelines (2018, 2021 editions)" published by the Joint Surgery Group of the Orthopedic Branch of the Chinese Medical Association, and further referring to the latest literature and a vast array of high-quality evidence, combined with the diagnosis and treatment experience of pain medicine and traditional medicine in China, the panel advocated the perspective centered on "treating osteoarthritis according to its clinical staging". Through optimizing the framework of the "OA ladder treatment", ensuring the most up-to-date understanding of the disease and its management, following extensive discussions, reviews, and anonymous expert voting, the experts compiled the "Chinese Osteoarthritis Diagnosis and Treatment Guidelines (2024 edition)", to provide the most up-to-date, standardized approach for diagnosing and treating OA, and to achieve the goals of "prevent and manage chronic pain diseases, safeguarding the health of the population" .
