Abstract
Background: Knee osteoarthritis (OA) is associated with substantial disability and impaired quality of life. Treatment aims at decreasing pain and improving function combining non-pharmacological (education, exercise, and weight reduction) and pharmacological modalities (topical, oral NSAIDs, and intraarticular corticosteroids). A challenge is to reduce the consumption of oral NSAIDs due to their side effects. Oral enzyme combination (OEC) therapy with bromelain, trypsin, and flavonoid rutin has proven to be efficacious in several painful musculoskeletal disorders and OA, but its mechanism of action is not fully known.
