Anti-inflammatory Diet for Knee Osteoarthritis

This study is looking at whether an anti-inflammatory diet can help people with knee osteoarthritis (OA). Researchers want to see if this diet improves pain compared to a healthy diet. You might be able to join if you are 18 or older, have knee OA in one knee, haven't changed your OA treatment recently, and are interested in dietary changes. The main goal is to measure changes in knee pain after 3 months. The study is currently recruiting participants.

Study design
This interventional study plans to enroll 72 participants. It compares an anti-inflammatory diet to a healthy diet.
What's involved
You would need to be interested in dietary intervention and able to attend follow-up visits.
Compensation
Not stated in the trial record.
Follow-up
The primary endpoint measures pain at 3 months, indicating a follow-up period of at least that long.

What this trial measures

  • Change in Knee Osteoarthritis Pain3 months

    The Western Ontario and McMaster Universities Osteoarthritis Index, known as the WOMAC score, is a validated questionnaire used for evaluating pain, stiffness, and physical function in individuals with knee or hip osteoarthritis. A minimum score of 0 indicates no symptoms and a maximum score of 100, represents the most severe symptoms. Higher WOMAC scores correspond to worse outcomes, indicating more significant pain, stiffness, and functional limitations associated with osteoarthritis. The primary outcome for the purpose of this study will be the proportion of patients experiencing a change of at least 30% in WOMAC-pain score after 3 months of intervention compared to the control group.
