Osteoarthritis is a common, chronic joint condition that involves pain, stiffness and inflammation. This study is investigating the effectiveness of a natural cream at improving symptoms of arthritis of the knee. The cream contains rutin, a citrus flavonoid glycoside, and avocado and soybean phytosterols, which have anti-inflammatory properties. The study consists of 2 parts. The first part is 3 weeks long and placebo controlled – this means that you may receive the natural cream we are testing, or you may receive an inactive cream. The second part of the study is also 3 weeks long and all participants will try the natural cream.
The study consists of 1 screening visit and 6 follow-up visits at the clinic, plus the completion of some questionnaires in between visits. There will be 3 blood samples taken. You will be provided with a cream to apply twice per day for 6 weeks.
