- Acupuncture was conditionally recommended for patients with knee, hip, and/or hand OA in the ACR/AF guidelines despite limited evidence, given the positive effect of acupuncture for analgesia and low risk of harm.
- Thermal modalities were strongly recommended for hip OA by OARSI (conditionally not recommended for knee and polyarticular OA) and conditionally recommended by ACR/AF for knee, hip, and/or hand OA.
- Cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT) was conditionally recommended for patients with knee, hip, and/or hand OA by ACR/AF on the basis of data regarding chronic pain management, although further study is needed to better assess the benefit of CBT in OA directly.
- EULAR made a strong recommendation against IACS for hand OA though commented on its potential use in the case of "clear joint inflammation", whereas ACR provided a conditional recommendation for its use.
