The efficacy and safety of Curcuma longa extract and curcumin supplements on osteoarthritis: a systematic review and meta-analysis
Abstract
A systematic review and meta-analysis of 15 randomized controlled trials (1621 participants) of Curcuma longa extract and curcumin for osteoarthritis. Compared with placebo, they decreased the VAS and WOMAC pain, function and stiffness scores with adverse events comparable to placebo, and showed effects on joint pain, function and stiffness similar to NSAIDs but with fewer adverse events; use for more than 12 weeks is recommended.
