Nutraceuticals containing cis-9-cetylmyristoleate (CMO) are used to improve knee pain despite the lack of placebo-controlled studies in humans. The aim of the study was to explore the minimal effective dose of CMO for relieving knee joint pain.
Twenty-eight subjects with mild degree arthritic knee joint pain were randomized into 4 groups; groups A, B, and C that contained 100%, 80%, and 62.4% of fatty acid component with 12.5% of CMO, and control group D (starch 100%). The pain intensity, functional disability, and the Patient Global Impression of Change (PGIC) were assessed for a 12-week ingestion period.
Compared to group D (n = 6), there were significant differences in pain score in group A (n = 7, P = 0.005) and group C (n = 7, P = 0.012), but not significant in group B (n = 6, P = 0.180). Western Ontario and McMaster Universities Arthritis (WOMAC) score decreased significantly in groups A and C. The PGIC was positive in the majority (>50%) in groups A, B, and C, whereas negative in 83.3% in group D (control).
CMO is effective in alleviating knee pain in persons with mild degree arthritis of the knee joint, at an effective dose of 62.4%.
尽管缺乏针对人类的安慰剂对照研究,但含有顺式-9-十六碳烯酸肉豆蔻酯(CMO)的营养保健品仍被用于改善膝关节疼痛。本研究的目的是探索缓解膝关节疼痛的CMO最小有效剂量。
28名患有轻度关节炎膝关节疼痛的受试者被随机分为4组;A组、B组和C组含有脂肪酸成分的100%、80%和62.4%,CMO含量为12.5%,对照组D(100%淀粉)。在为期12周的摄入期内评估疼痛强度、功能障碍和患者整体变化印象(PGIC)。
与D组(n = 6)相比,A组(n = 7,P = 0.005)和C组(n = 7,P = 0.012)的疼痛评分有显著差异,但B组(n = 6,P = 0.180)无显著差异。A组和C组的西安大略和麦克马斯特大学关节炎指数(WOMAC)评分显著降低。A组、B组和C组中大多数(>50%)的PGIC为阳性,而D组(对照组)中83.3%为阴性。
CMO对缓解膝关节轻度关节炎患者的膝关节疼痛有效,有效剂量为62.4%。
