Although pre- to postintervention knee OA symptoms were improved in overweight or obese women receiving 12 weeks garlic supplement, there was no significant difference in WOMAC changes compared with the placebo group. Further clinical trials are required to investigate the therapeutic value of garlic ingredients, and the potential role of placebo effect, in the management of OA symptoms.
