Effects of ginger supplementation in individuals with mild to moderate joint pain I: ratings of pain, functional capacity, and markers of inflammation by Jacob Broeckel, Landry Estes, Megan Leonard, Broderick Dickerson, Drew E. Gonzalez, Martin Purpura, Ralf Jäger, Ryan Sowinski, Christopher J. Rasmussen, Richard B. Kreider

“…Data were analyzed using the general linear model (GLM) analysis of variance with repeated measures, mean changes from baseline with 95% confidence intervals, and chi-squared analysis.Results There was evidence that ginger supplementation: 1.) attenuated perceptions of muscle pain in the vastus medialis (Day 2: χ2 p = 0.087); 2.) reported less pain from sitting (Day 2: χ2 p = 0.02), while nocturnal pain (Day 32: χ2 p = 0.075, Day 58: (χ2 p = 0.097), weight bearing pain (Day 32: χ2 p = 0.058), physical functioning of performing heavy duties (Day 32: χ2 p = 0.100), and physical functioning of performing light duties (Day 2: χ2 p = 0.064) on WOMAC questions; 3.) experienced significant reductions in WOMAC overall ratings of pain, stiffness, physical function, and total score values, particularly in 48-hour follow-up measures; 4.) reported less pain during nighttime bed rest (Day 2: χ2 p = 0.065; Day 32: χ2 p = 0.032) and when going up and down stairs (Day 32: χ2 p = 0.097) from the LEQ; and, 5.) promoted significant differences over time and/or between groups in IL-β, IL-5, IL-6, IL-8, INF-γ, TNF-α, and high sensitivity C-reactive Protein at various points during the study.Conclusion Ginger supplementation promotes some favorable effects on exercise-induced perceptions of pain, functional capacity, and inflammatory markers in men and women who have mild to moderate muscle and joint pain.Registered clinical trial #ISRCTN74292348.…”
