The Efficacy of Harpagophytum procumbens (Teltonal) in Patients with Knee Osteoarthritis: A Randomized Active-Controlled Clinical Trial

Purpose. The high prevalence of knee osteoarthritis (KOA) is a major cause of disability among elders. NSAIDs are recommended to reduce KOA patients’ symptoms, but their adverse side effects limit their consumption. In this study, we evaluated the effectiveness of Harpagophytum procumbens compared t...

description Purpose. The high prevalence of knee osteoarthritis (KOA) is a major cause of disability among elders. NSAIDs are recommended to reduce KOA patients’ symptoms, but their adverse side effects limit their consumption. In this study, we evaluated the effectiveness of Harpagophytum procumbens compared to a routine NSAID (meloxicam) on pain reduction and functional improvement of KOA patients. Patients and Methods. Sixty patients aged 40–60 years, with painful knee osteoarthritis (grades 1-2 of Kellgren–Lawrence scale) for at least one month, were randomized into two groups with different routine medication periods. Group A consisted of daily administration of two Harpagophytum procumbens (Teltonal) tablets (2∗480 mg) for one month, and group B consisted of daily administration of meloxicam (15 mg) for ten days. The visual analogue scale (VAS), Western Ontario McMaster University Osteoarthritis Index (WOMAC), Oxford Knee Scale (OKS), and patient satisfaction were evaluated at the baseline and after 2, 4, and 8 weeks. Results. There were no statistically significant differences between demographic characteristics, pain intensity, and function scores before the treatment. VAS, OKS, and WOMAC scores improved in both groups p

VAS, OKS, and WOMAC scores improved in both groups p&lt;0.001 over time, but no significant superiority was shown; after 8 weeks: VAS (Teltonal (4.80 ± 1.80) vs. meloxicam (5.06 ± 1.43)), OKS (34.06 ± 4.38, 34.00 ± 7.87, Teltonal vs. meloxicam, respectively), and WOMAC scores (25.73 ± 10.11 Teltonal vs. 26.20 ± 13.94, meloxicam). Conclusion. Teltonal is an effective and safe treatment in patients with mild KOA in the short term. However, no significant superiority was shown in using Teltonal or meloxicam, in people who cannot take NSAIDs, it can be a good alternative, although difference in medication periods should be considered.</description><identifier>ISSN: 1741-427X</identifier><identifier>EISSN: 1741-4288</identifier><identifier>DOI: 10.1155/2021/5596892</identifier><identifier>PMID: 34712343</identifier><language>eng</language><publisher>United States: Hindawi</publisher><subject>Analgesics ; Anti-inflammatory agents ; Anticoagulants ; Back pain ; Body mass index ; Clinical trials ; Disease ; Evidence-based medicine ; Gene expression ; Harpagophytum procumbens ; Knee ; Meloxicam ; Nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs ; Older people ; Osteoarthritis ; Pain ; Patient satisfaction ; Patients ; Rheumatoid arthritis ; Statistical analysis ; Variance analysis</subject><ispartof>Evidence-based complementary and alternative medicine, 2021, Vol.2021, p.5596892-8</ispartof><rights>Copyright © 2021 Hamid Reza Farpour et al.</rights><rights>Copyright © 2021 Hamid Reza Farpour et al.
