Summary

This study tested whether a fiber supplement (inulin) and/or app-based exercises could reduce knee pain in 117 adults with osteoarthritis. Participants were split into groups: placebo, diet only, exercise only, or both. The main goal was to see if pain scores improved over time. The approach is non-drug and focuses on lifestyle changes.
