Summary

This study tests whether applying cabbage leaves to the knee can reduce pain, improve physical function, and boost quality of life in people with knee osteoarthritis. Researchers will compare two different cabbage leaf preparations against standard care in 90 adults over four weeks. The goal is to see if this simple, low-cost home remedy offers real relief.
