Six Weeks of Prebiotic Fiber Eased Knee Pain
A short clinical study reported lower osteoarthritis pain and improved physical measures after a prebiotic-fiber intervention.
Summary
A short clinical study reported lower osteoarthritis pain and improved physical measures after a prebiotic-fiber intervention.
Participants with knee osteoarthritis who received a prebiotic-fiber intervention for six weeks reported less pain and showed improvements in measures including grip strength and pain sensitivity. The study is an early, short-duration signal that gut-directed nutrition could affect symptoms; it does not establish durability, explain the mechanism or replace established care.
