There have been many, many scientific studies evaluating turmeric (and curcumin extract) for treating osteoarthritis symptoms. At least 10 of these studies compare turmeric to a control group given a placebo (sugar pill). The majority of these studies report a significant reduction in pain. Some studies also show improved function in patients with knee osteoarthritis. More studies are recommended to confirm these results.
