The Efficacy and Safety of Ginger Extract in Nanostructure Lipid Carrier (NLC) for Treatment of Knee Osteoarthritis (OA)
Purpose: To evaluate the efficacy and safety of Ginger (Zingiberofficinale Roscoe) extract in Nanostructure Lipid Carrier (NLC) for treatment of osteoarthritis of the knee.
Methods: Sixty patients at the age range of 50-75 years old who were diagnosed with OA knee based on the American College of Rheumatology (ACR) diagnosis criteria were included in this study. Participants received ginger extract in NLC rubbed three times a day for 12 weeks. Efficacy was assessed by Knee Injury and Osteoarthritis Outcome Score (KOOS), Index of Severity for Osteoarthritis Index (ISOA), and patient's global assessment (PGA). A series of biochemical tests in serum and hematological parameters established the safety of ginger extract in NLC. The student pair t-test was used to compare the score before and after treatment
Results: Ginger extract in NLC could statistically significant improvement patient's global assessment, knee joint pain, symptoms, daily activities, sports activities and quality of life measured by KOOS, ISOA and PGA, following 12 weeks of treatment in paired t-test (p

There were no safety issues concerning adverse events or laboratory values. Conclusion: Ginger extract in NLC relieves joint pain and improves problematic symptoms and improves the quality of life in osteoarthritis knees during a 12 week treatment.
