Abstract in brief

  • A systematic review and meta-analysis of randomized clinical trials suggests that turmeric and curcumin may help reduce arthritis symptoms, with some studies showing significant improvements in pain and function measurements.
  • The analysis found that turmeric/curcumin was more effective than placebo but not significantly different from pain medications; most included studies had low to moderate bias, and no publication bias was detected.
  • Despite promising results, the overall evidence is limited due to the small number of trials, sample sizes, and varying quality of the studies, indicating that more high-quality research is needed to confirm turmeric's effectiveness for arthritis.]
