- Hifas da Terra and Oafi They carry out the first study in patients that demonstrates that the use of mushroom extracts It relieves pain and the rigidity In patients with osteoarthritis.
- Extract treatment is also capable of Increase physical capacity and the Energy levels.
- Patients indicated a decrease in 23.4% pain (EVA scale) and improvements to the 20% in stiffness, mobility and pain (WOMAC QUESTIONNAIRE).
Why do we investigate treatments for osteoarthritis?
Osteoarthritis is the Most frequent joint disease. Among the most outstanding symptoms of this pathology are pain and the inflammation, but also the loss of mobility. Although in principle it is not a serious illness, it is considered limiting and annoying that reduces the quality of life. This pathology affects 85% of the elderly population In Spain, according to the guide of the good clinical practice of osteoarthritis. The data at European level according to the Eurobarometer reflects that it affects the 30% of the population over 60 years.Results of the use of myco-cord + myco-five
This study Observational It was carried out at the Poal Institute of Rheumatology of Barcelona in patients diagnosed with knee osteoarthritis. After three months of supplementation with myco-cord and myco-five, the study group indicated generalized improvements that are collected in the report. This concludes that the protocol:- Relieves him pain and the rigidity
- Increases the Physical capacity and the Energy levels
Effects of Mico-Cord + Mico-Five In the treatment of osteoarthritis
Effects of Mico-Cord + Mico-Five In the treatment of osteoarthritis
Study methodology
Visual analog scale (EVA)
Pain is one of the most important aspects in the treatment of osteoarthritis. To evaluate the impact of the extracts, the Analog visual scale (EVA).After three months of treatment, the 75% showed improvements in the pain scale of 23.4%.
WOMAC QUESTIONNAIRE TO EVALUATE FUNCTIONAL CAPACITY
Another relevant aspects in osteoarthritis is the limitation of mobility. In the clinical study, this parameter was determined by the Womac questionnaire, which reflects aspects such as pain, mobility and loss of functional capacities.80% of patients indicated 15% improvements in aspects such as pain, rigidity and mobility while 63% indicated that these improvements represented 20%.
Summary
The conclusions of Clinical study in knee osteoarthritis they validate the ability of fungi to address, from an integrative perspective, aspects as relevant in this pathology as the fatigue, the bone discomfort and the joint inflammation.
