| Arthritis Management: Glucosamine Sulphate
for the Management of Arthritis - A Controlled Clinical Investigation
| Article
Summary: |
Patients
with arthritis were divided into two groups; one
group received some form of glucosamine sulfate
daily the other received piperazine/chlorbutanol
daily, followed by a placebo. The amount of pain
that each participant experienced at rest and during
different activities was measured. In both conditions,
some improvement was seen, but those patients who
received glucosamine sulfate treatments experienced
less pain and faster recovery times. There were
no complaints of side effects for the glucosamine
and all participants were able to tolerate the glucosamine
treatments. Glucosamine then is supported as a treatment
for osteoarthritis. |
