Effects of the treatment with matrix on elderly people with chronic articular degeneration.
Clinical trials have been conducted to evaluate the effectiveness of Matrix in osteoarthritis, mainly as regards the advantages offered by its physiological mechanism of action. The experiment, lasting 6 months, was performed on two hundred patients in four different Hospital Departments and one University Center. The results showed a considerable improvement both in pain and in mobility. No relevant side effects were found; only 3% of patients, with oral administration, noticed slight nausea and found it necessary to interrupt treatment.
