Efficacy of curcumin and Boswellia for knee osteoarthritis: Systematic review and meta-analysis

The unfavorable safety profiles of commonly prescribed knee osteoarthritis (OA) treatments have led clinicians and patients to seek safer alternatives.

We conducted a systematic review and meta-analysis to assess the efficacy and safety of these treatments vs. placebo or NSAIDs for knee OA.
