Scientists at the Department of Neurosurgery at the University of Pittsburgh Medical Center study the effectiveness of omega-3 fats (eykozapentanovoy and docosahexaenoic acid) in the treatment of inflammation of the joints. Non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs), such as paracetamol or ibuprofen can be used to facilitate various pain to millions of people around the world.

Scientists have the study, which was attended by 250 patients diagnosed with "inoperable back pain" NSAIDs. Each of them two weeks to get 2.4 g of omega-3 fats in the day, and then another eight weeks to 1.2 g of omega-3 fats in the week. After the experiment, patients completed the questionnaire. It was found that 69% of respondents reported relief of joint pain, 50% were able to avoid taking NSAIDs, and 80% indicated their satisfaction with the changes on by omega-3 fats brought. Side effects of a patient. Although the experiment was not placebo-controlled study created, we should consider an increase in the proportion of dietary omega-3 fatty acids, which can be obtained from linseed oil, rapeseed oil, raw (not roasted nuts) and oily fish, or just a supplement fish oil.
