PATIENTS:
30 patients with osteoarthritis of at least one hand were randomly allocated
treatment with either 5 Rose-Hip Vital capsules twice daily or identical
placebos. This was a double-blind crossover where after 3 months the groups
switched, totaling 6 months.
AIM: To test the impact of Rose-Hip Vital on pain, stiffness and overall feeling of discomfort on those
suffering osteoarthritis of the hands. Before and after each of the two
treatment periods the patients gave their evaluation of pain and stiffness
during 15 daily activities (see below) on a scale of 0 to 10 (10 being
worst possible).
CONCLUSION: The
present data suggests Rose-Hip Vital significantly reduces pain &
stiffness in patients with osteoarthritis of the hand(s). Overall discomfort
also dropped.
