Current treatments can ease pain, but do not repair the cartilage; severe cases may require joint replacement surgery.

In tests using mice and human cartilage cells in the lab, lacosamide slowed cartilage damage, encouraged repair and reduced pain.

The drug blocks Nav1.7, a protein involved in pain signals and the balance between cartilage breakdown and repair.
