Sponsor: Centre Hospitalier Universitaire de la Réunion

View on ClinicalTrials.gov

Summary

ECUM-RUN is a randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled phase 3 trial evaluating whether a 30-day oral supplementation with curcumin, ginger, and piperine (9-5-1 formulation) reduces exercise-induced joint pain and inflammatory markers in 82 ultra-trail runners competing in the Diagonale des Fous (175 km). The primary endpoint is the change in knee pain (VAS score) between end of supplementation and race finish, compared between intervention and placebo groups.
