Watsonville, CA (April 18) , A leading supplier of fish oil and essential fatty acid (EFA) supplements, announced today the results of a human trial showing beneficial effects of fish oil on pain, as well as symptom management in people with non-surgical arthritis.
The results of this study, conducted by Joseph Maroon, MD, and Jeff Bost, PAC, at the University of Pittsburgh (PA) were presented today at the American Association of Neurological Surgeons' annual meeting in New Orleans, LA.
Adult patients with non-surgical neck or back pain under physician's care were asked to supplement with two (2) capsules daily of EPA, a concentrated fish oil supplement.
After supplementing with ProEPA for an average of 75 days, 60% of the respondents reported reduction in both overall pain and joint pain, and 59% discontinued taking prescription pain medications or non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs).
In additional reported results, 80% of the subjects reported being satisfied with the improvement experienced from supplementing with EPA, and 88% reported that they would continue to take the supplement. Virtually no side effects were reported, which is noteworthy in light of the recent voluntary withdrawals of two widely prescribed NSAIDs: VioxxŽ and BextraŽ
Dr. Maroon noted that they were gratified "to see such a high percentage of patients who were able to stop taking their prescription NSAIDs after starting the omega-3 EFAs. Patient satisfaction exceeded 80%".
Editors Note: We are not sure of the exact date of this trial. But It is great to see people getting great results.Omega 3 Fish oil for Depression
