A randomized controlled trial comparing topical piroxicam gel with a homeopathic gel in osteoarthritis of the knee

Abstract

: The homeopathic gel was at least as effective and as well tolerated as the NSAID gel. The presence of a clinically relevant difference between treatment groups cannot be excluded. The homeopathic gel supplemented by simple analgesics if required may provide a useful treatment option for patients with osteoarthritis.
