NCT ID NCT05837923
First seen Jun 24, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026 · Updated 1 time
Summary
This completed study tested whether certain dietary supplements can reduce pain and improve daily life. Over 2,000 adults in the U.S. who wanted less pain took either an active supplement or a placebo for 6 weeks. Researchers measured changes in pain interference and types of pain like nerve pain. The results will show if these supplements offer real relief.
