Effects of an Herbal Topical Cream on Osteoarthritis Symptoms, Biomarkers, and Disease Progression in the Knee
Completed · Early Phase 1 · Has a placebo group
Conditions studied: Osteoarthritis
In brief
Arthritis Relief Plus (ARP) Cream is a natural, herbal cream that has been shown to provide pain relief and decreased stiffness. Anecdotal reports suggest that pain may continue to be reduced months after cream use is stopped, indicating that there could be some disease-modifying effects of the cream. The purpose of this study is to test the claim that the ARP cream can provide long-term pain relief to osteoarthritis patients after only a short period of use. The study will also try to determine whether the pain relief is accompanied with any measurable indications that the progression of osteoarthritis has slowed or halted
