Randomized Controlled Trial Multicenter Study
Oral resveratrol in adults with knee osteoarthritis: A randomized placebo-controlled trial (ARTHROL).
Resveratrol is a natural compound found in red wine. It has demonstrated anti-inflammatory properties in preclinical models. We compared the effect of oral resveratrol in a new patented formulation to oral placebo for individuals with painful knee osteoarthritis. ⋯ In this study, we observed that compared with placebo, oral resveratrol did not reduce knee pain in people with painful knee osteoarthritis.
