Overall, the balance of evidence suggests that chondroitin may improve the pain of knee osteoarthritis (OA) slightly in the short-term (less than six months) and may have a small effect (approximately 20%) on pain.
There is evidence from a 2014 Cochrane review of 22 trials of opioids for osteoarthritis pain that there may be a small improvement in pain and function when compared to placebo treatment.
There is strong evidence from multiple randomised trials and meta-analyses of randomised trials that NSAIDs are more effective for the treatment of osteoarthritis than placebo or paracetamol.
Also known as acetaminophen, paracetamol is commonly prescribed for a wide spectrum of pain, including knee OA.
