First seen Jun 24, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026 · Updated 2 times
Summary
This study tests whether applying bee venom gel to the knee during ultrasound therapy can reduce pain and improve movement in people with knee osteoarthritis. Thirty adults aged 40-75 will either get the bee venom treatment or a placebo gel. Researchers will measure pain, walking speed, and endurance to see if the bee venom approach works better than the placebo.

bee venom topical preparation
What this could lead to
If it works, this could offer a non-invasive, drug-free option to ease pain and improve walking in people with knee osteoarthritis.
What could go wrong
This is a very small, early-stage trial with only 30 people. The bee venom may cause allergic reactions, and the benefit over placebo is unproven.
