Celadrin Alleviates Joint Pain

July 2005

Cetylated fatty acid topical cream (as Celadrin®) helps patients with knee osteoarthritis (OA) to move more freely and with less pain, enabling them to engage in regular exercise, according to a study published in The Journal of Strength and Conditioning Research.

In the study, 40 patients with knee OA were randomized to receive topical cetylated fatty acid twice daily or placebo, and were tested for improvement in OA symptoms (including postural stability) at baseline and following 30 days of treatment.

Based upon the results of the study, the researchers concluded 30 days of treatment with a topical cetylated fatty acid cream improved postural stability in patients with knee OA, presumably due to pain relief during quiet standing. They added that such over-the-counter treatment may help improve the exercise trainability of people with OA.
