New research into the efficacy of
Arnica Gel
for osteoarthritis of the fingers has
demonstrated excellent results and has
been submitted for publication. Arthritis
affects over 8 million people with the
fingers being the third most common area
affected, after knee and hip.
This is the first study of multiple
osteosrthritis of the fingers to be
performed according to the latest
international guidelines. It compared the
effectiveness of
Boiron
Arnica Gel with one of the leading
synthetics, ibuprofen gel.
A number of secondary targets were set
and again, Arnica Gel achieved the same
value as ibuprofen gel. The number of
painful joints decreased equally in both
groups, mornign joint stiffness diminished
equally in both groups, and the duration
of morning joint stiffness decreased from
about 10 minutes to 5 minutes in both
groups.
Arnica Gel has also been clinically proven
to relieve the symptoms of ostearthritis
of the knee, with 76 per cent of patients
willing to use the treatment again. The
mulitcentre trial was published in
Advances in Therapy.
