NCT ID NCT07514013
First seen Jun 24, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026 · Updated 1 time
Summary
This study is testing whether a daily olive oil extract capsule can help reduce knee pain and improve knee function in adults aged 40 to 75 who have had knee discomfort for at least 3 months. Over 6 weeks, participants will take either the supplement or a placebo and complete digital questionnaires about their symptoms. The goal is to see if the extract offers real relief for everyday knee discomfort.
