This Medudy course is a video tutorial for physicians on the topic of "Semaglutide in obesity and knee osteoarthritis". The format used here is a so-called "Journal Club Summary", in which we summarize the latest and most clinically relevant studies for you.
Obesity is considered a significant risk factor for knee osteoarthritis. Current guidelines therefore recommend weight reduction and increased physical activity as primary treatment approaches for obesity-related knee osteoarthritis. Given the high demand for non-surgical approaches for sustainable weight loss and pain relief, pharmacological weight management is increasingly coming into focus. Today's study therefore investigates the effects of semaglutide versus placebo on clinical outcomes in obesity-related knee osteoarthritis.
Note: All "speakers" appearing in the Medudy videos are AI-based avatars used to improve the didactics of the videos. The people on whom the avatars are based have explicitly consented to their use. All content is based on high-quality scientific sources and is created and reviewed by the Medudy medical team.
