In a world where the incidence of non-specific lower back pain (LBP) is steadily increasing, researchers are still searching for effective solutions for patients. Hyaluronic acid (HA) viscosupplementation is commonly used to restore lubrication in osteoarthritis (OA) and other medical applications, but its rapid metabolism limits efficacy. This study evaluates whether an HA derivative can replace native HA for the treatment of non-specific LBP while maintaining or enhancing its frictional properties and improving in vivo stability. Six HA-based lubricants, both native and derivatized, were tested in a tribological rabbit fascia model and a new synthetic model. Reduced HA derivative showed better tribological properties and longer in vivo residence time compared to native HA, as demonstrated in pharmacokinetic studies in rabbits. The 316 kDa HA and reduced HA exhibited the most stable tribological properties, which were influenced by their molecular weight and concentration. These findings suggest that both native and reduced HA are promising viscosupplements for intrafascial injection in the treatment of LBP, with reduced HA potentially enhancing effectiveness through a prolonged effect.
