Dietary Wild Blueberries and Joint Health Study
This study is looking at how eating wild blueberries might affect your gut health, inflammation (swelling in the body), and joint function. We're testing if 25 grams of freeze-dried wild blueberry powder each day, compared to a placebo (an inactive powder), can improve these areas over 12 weeks. You might be able to join if you are between 40 and 75 years old and have documented arthritis in multiple joints or your knee. We'll measure changes in your joint function through blood tests after 12 weeks to see if the blueberries have an effect. The current recruitment status is unclear.
- Study design
- This interventional study plans to enroll 50 participants. It compares freeze-dried wild blueberry powder to a placebo powder.
- What's involved
- Participants will consume either 25g of freeze-dried wild blueberry powder or a matched placebo powder daily for 12 weeks, with a 2-week break (washout phase) between treatments.
- Compensation
- Not stated in the trial record.
- Follow-up
- Serum biomarkers of joint function will be measured at 12 weeks.

Serum biomarkers of inflammation and cartilage degradation will be measured in the wild blueberry and placebo groups and compared for outcomes. Pain scores will also be measured using self-reported questionnaires.
