Nonpharmacological treatment programmes are as important as drug treatment in hip osteoarthritis (OA). Drugs (analgesic and nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs) should not be used as sole treatments in hip OA. Patient education and weight reduction are the primary therapeutic approaches. Different types of exercises are beneficial for patients with hip OA. Occupational therapy plays a central role in the management of hip OA patients with functional limitations. More and better-designed trials are needed to evaluate the efficacy of nonpharmacological treatment programmes used in hip OA.
非药物治疗方案在髋骨关节炎（OA）中与药物治疗同样重要。药物（镇痛药和非甾体抗炎药）不应作为髋骨关节炎的唯一治疗方法。患者教育和减轻体重是主要的治疗方法。不同类型的运动对髋骨关节炎患者有益。职业治疗在对有功能障碍的髋骨关节炎患者的管理中起着核心作用。需要更多设计更完善的试验来评估用于髋骨关节炎的非药物治疗方案的疗效。
