OBJECTIVE: Pain and stiffness at the neck, back, hip, and other joints due to conditions such as spondylitis or spondylosis are significant musculoskeletal concerns globally. The present study evaluated the relative efficacy of a bioavailability enhanced full-spectrum extract of . oleo-gum resin (F-BSE) and its co-delivery system with curcumin (C-BSE) in ameliorating pain and stiffness, in otherwise healthy participants. METHODS: This study adopted a randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled, three-arm, parallel group comparative design. The participants received the placebo, F-BSE, or C-BSE for 28 days at the dose of 400 mg/day. The efficacy was assessed using subjective tools [Bath Ankylosing Spondylitis Disease Activity Index (BASDAI) and Neck Disability Index (NDI) questionnaires) and objective measures (clinical markers, NLRP3 and IL-1β). RESULTS: A total of 105 participants (n = 35/group) were recruited, of which 94 completed the 28-day study period. Both the F-BSE and C-BSE groups showed significant reductions in pain, stiffness, and neck-related disability, as reflected in the BASDAI and NDI scores. Additionally, NLRP3 inflammasome and IL-1β levels were significantly reduced by days 14 and 28. These outcomes suggest that the combined administration of curcuminoids and boswellic acids with improved bioavailability modulates inflammatory pathways, thus contributing to symptom relief and improved function. CONCLUSION: Both F-BSE and C-BSE reduced pain and stiffness issues by day 14, which continued to progress through day 28. However, C-BSE demonstrated superior effects compared to F-BSE, indicating a synergistic anti-inflammatory and analgesic action when the full-spectrum Boswellia extract and curcumin are delivered as a water-soluble, non-covalent complex with enhanced bioavailability using the FenuMat delivery technology.

目的:因脊柱炎或脊椎病等病症导致的颈部、背部、臀部及其他关节疼痛和僵硬是全球范围内重大的肌肉骨骼问题。本研究评估了生物利用度增强的全谱阿魏酸油树脂提取物(F-BSE)及其与姜黄素的共递送系统(C-BSE)在改善健康受试者疼痛和僵硬方面的相对疗效。 方法:本研究采用随机、双盲、安慰剂对照、三臂平行组比较设计。参与者接受安慰剂、F-BSE或C-BSE,剂量为400毫克/天,持续28天。使用主观工具[巴斯强直性脊柱炎疾病活动指数(BASDAI)和颈部功能障碍指数(NDI)问卷]和客观指标(临床标志物、NLRP3和IL-1β)评估疗效。 结果:共招募了105名参与者(每组n = 35),其中94名完成了28天的研究期。F-BSE组和C-BSE组在疼痛、僵硬和颈部相关功能障碍方面均有显著改善,这在BASDAI和NDI评分中得到体现。此外,在第14天和第28天,NLRP3炎性小体和IL-1β水平显著降低。这些结果表明,生物利用度提高的姜黄素类化合物和乳香酸联合给药可调节炎症途径,从而有助于缓解症状和改善功能。 结论:F-BSE和C-BSE在第14天时均减轻了疼痛和僵硬问题,并在第28天时持续改善。然而,C-BSE显示出比F-BSE更优的效果,表明当使用FenuMat递送技术将全谱乳香提取物和姜黄素作为具有增强生物利用度的水溶性非共价复合物递送时,具有协同抗炎和镇痛作用。 临床试验注册:https://ctri.nic.in/Clinicaltrials/pmaindet2.php?EncHid=NjI2MTY=&Enc=&userName=,标识符:CTRI/2021/12/038613,日期为2021年12月14日。
