  5. Further research into joint distraction for knee osteoarthritis without alignment  correction should include comparative studies against existing forms of management. Studies should record patient selection, joint space measurements in the medium to long term, functional outcomes, quality of life and complications. They should also report the nature and timing of any further surgery on the knee. NICE may update the guidance on publication of further evidence.

  6. Further research into joint distraction for ankle osteoarthritis should include comparative studies against the natural history of the disease and against other forms of management. Studies should record patient selection, pain relief, functional outcomes, complications, and quality of life in the long term. They should also report the nature and timing of any further surgery on the ankle.Minimising loss to follow-up is of particular importance. NICE may update the guidance on publication of further evidence.

Further research into implantation of a shock or load absorber for mild to moderate symptomatic medial knee osteoarthritis should include comparative studies against existing forms of management. Studies should record patient selection, functional outcomes, quality of life and complications. They should also report the nature and timing of any further surgery on the knee and the effect of removing the device. A minimum follow-up period of 2–3 years is needed. NICE may update the guidance on publication of further evidence.

  10. Chronic pain (primary and secondary) in over 16s: assessment of all chronic pain and management of chronic primary pain (NG193)

    This guideline covers assessing all chronic pain (chronic primary pain, chronic secondary pain, or both) and managing chronic primary pain in people aged 16 years and over. Chronic primary pain is pain with no clear underlying cause, or pain (or its impact) that is out of proportion to any observable injury or disease.

  11. Evidence on the safety of magnetic resonance therapy for knee osteoarthritis shows no major safety concerns. Evidence on efficacy is inadequate in quality and quantity and shows no benefit over placebo. Therefore, this procedure should not be used unless it is part of a research study. Further research should be in the form of appropriately powered randomised  controlled trials comparing the procedure with placebo. It should report patient  selection and treatment protocols, including the number of sessions and  magnetic field strength.

  12. Evidence on the safety of genicular artery embolisation for pain from knee osteoarthritis shows no major safety concerns in the short term. Evidence on its efficacy and long-term safety is inadequate in quality and quantity. Therefore, this procedure should only be used in the context of research. Find out what only in research means on the NICE interventional procedures guidance page. Research should preferably be randomised controlled trials against sham and current best practice. It should report details of patient selection and identify those who would most benefit from this procedure. It should also report details of the technique used, long-term safety, and patient-reported outcomes. The procedure should only be done by interventional radiologists with specific training in this technique.
