NCT05917925

Brief Summary

This clinical study evaluates the effect of taking a hydrolyzed collagen-based supplement on pain, function and quality of life in a moderately physically active population. Non-pathological knee pain is a common occurrence in many healthy people and can limit the quality of life. Therefore, the resolution of this problem can bring many benefits in terms of quality of life.

Outcome Measures

Primary Outcomes (1)

  • Intensity of knee pain

    It will be measured using a 100 mm long horizontal visual analogue scale (VAS) on which the participant must mark the pain he/she feels with 0 being "none" and 100 being "the most intense pain he/she can imagine". Once the level of pain is marked on the horizontal line, the length is measured from 0 in millimetres with a millimetre ruler. The results will be evaluated according to three levels of pain based on the marked values: \<40 mm: Values below 40 mm indicate mild or mild moderate pain 40-60 mm: If the measurement is between 40 and 60 mm, the pain is considered moderate to moderate-severe \>60 mm: If the values are greater than 60 mm, the pain is considered severe to unbearable.

    Throughout study completion, an average of 12 weeks
