Effect of Buglossoides Oil on Recent Chronic Non-injurious Hip and Knee Pain
June 21, 2018 updated by: Réseau de Santé Vitalité Health Network
The effect of Buglossoides oil emulsion on the intensity of recent chronic knee and hip pain, on plasma and mononuclear blood cells fatty acid profiles and on whole blood Eicosapentaenoic acid production will be investigated.

Detailed Description
This study will document the impact of an emulsion of Buglossoides oil on the intensity of recent chronic knee and hip pain.
Secondly, the impact of consuming Buglossoides oil on plasma and leukocyte fatty acid profiles will be investigated, thus providing clinical evidence on the efficacy of an emulsion of Buglossoides oil in increasing EPA content.
Lastly, a comprehensive analysis of whole blood eicosanoid production following supplementation will provide data on the potential for Buglossoides oil to modulate immune function.

Description
Inclusion Criteria:
- Men or non-pregnant women, using an effective form of birth control (such as oral contraceptives, injectable contraceptives or the barrier method such as a intrauterine device (IUD) with a spermicide, a diaphragm with a spermicide, a condom with a spermicide or a sponge with a spermicide) for at least 3 months prior to entry into the study and continuing during participation in the study.
- 18 to 65 years of age, inclusive.
- Body mass index (BMI) 18 - 39.9 kg/m2
- Subject has recent (less than 6 months) current chronic (having lasted more than two weeks) knee (one or both) and/or hip pain that is not the result of an acute injury. Pain intensity is 20 mm or higher using a Visual Analog Scale ranging from 0-100 mm.
- Subject has no planned knee or hip surgery.
- Subject is willing to avoid alcohol consumption for 24h prior to every clinic visit.
- The subject will not modify smoking habits during supplementation period.
- No significant medical conditions that in the opinion of the qualified physician, would preclude the subject's participation in the study.

- Has had a diagnosis of rheumatoid arthritis.
- Individual has a condition the study physician believes would interfere with the participant's ability to provide informed consent, comply with his responsibilities during the study, which might confound the interpretation of the study results or put the person at undue risk.
- Self-reported medical conditions including an active peptic ulcer, inflammatory bowel disease, or gastrointestinal bleeding and any medical condition or prior gastrointestinal surgery that could influence absorption, metabolism or excretion of the study supplement.
- History or presence of significant, renal, hepatic, gastrointestinal, pulmonary, biliary, neurological or endocrine disorders.

- Uncontrolled hypertension (resting systolic blood pressure ≥ 160 mmHg or diastolic blood pressure ≥ 100 mmHg).
- Type 1 or 2 diabetes. Fasting glucose ≥ 100 mg/dL. HbA1c ≥ 6.0.
- If a smoker, subject smokes no more than 1 pack (20 cigarettes) daily.
