Benefits of
Topical Celadrin Cream
Celadrin Cream can also be an
effective option for topical joint pain relief. Celadrin fatty acid esters
combined with 1.25% USP grade natural menthol provides minor pain relief for
sore muscles and joints and the surrounding areas. When applied topically,
Celadrin is well-absorbed and can act locally to help maintain joint comfort
and increase the range of motion of joints.
Studies have confirmed the benefits of
topical applications of the cream directly to sore joints. In a double-blind
placebo-controlled trial published in the Journal of Rheumatology in 2004,
forty individual with sore knee joints participated.Twenty patients were
given Celadrin Cream and 20 others were assigned a placebo cream to be
applied topically twice daily for 30 days. Participants were assessed on
various orthopedic measures of improvement. At the end of the study, the
researchers noted that the Celadrin Cream was an effective treatment for
improving knee ROM, ability to ascend/descend stairs, ability to rise from
sitting, walk and sit down, and unilateral balance. No changes were seen in
the placebo group.9
A second study was conducted by the
same group of researchers using a cream consisting of Celadrin and menthol.
In this trial, participants who had significant functional performance
deficiencies of elbow, knee or wrist joints were given the cream and asked
to apply it twice daily for one week.
Measure of comfort and performance we
reassessed before the treatment and again after one week. The researchers
found significant improvement with the use of the cream. Overall, there was
a significant improvement in joint range of motion, comfort levels, muscular
endurance and joint function. Even in the relatively short period of this
trial (only 1 week), the cream was deemed to be effective for enhancing
joint function in these participants.10
