Over all significant improvement was observed in the patients of [turmeric] extract group as compared to placebo group. [...] It may be concluded that on chronic administration, [turmeric] suppresses inflammation and brings clinical improvement in patients of [osteoarthritis of the knee], which may be observed by decreased level of IL-1β and VAS/WOMAC scores, respectively. At the same time, [turmeric] decreases the oxidative stress also.
