Likely Effective:
- Sores in the mouth, when applied to the skin as a gel.
- Eye surgery and corneal transplant, when injected by an eye surgeon.
Possibly Effective for:
- Osteoarthritis, when injected into the joint by a healthcare provider. Despite being approved by the FDA for treatment of osteoarthritis by injection, results vary. Some people report a moderate improvement in joint stiffness and pain decrease with hyaluronic acid treatment, but this is not always the case. Whether hyaluronic acid might delay or lessen progressive joint damage with long-term use is unknown.
Insufficient Evidence:
- Healing skin wounds and burns.
- Detached retina and other eye injuries.
- Preventing the effects of aging.
