This study trials krill oil vs placebo, for painful knee osteoarthritis in people with joint swelling on MRI scans, to assess if krill oil reduces knee pain and knee swelling over 24 weeks. If krill oil can delay loss of knee cartilage through effects on cartilage and bone, this this could lead to a delay in the time to knee replacement surgery and improvements in quality of life for those suffering from OA.

这项研究试验了磷虾油与安慰剂，用于MRI扫描显示关节肿胀的疼痛性膝关节骨关节炎患者，以评估磷虾油是否在24周内减少膝关节疼痛和膝关节肿胀。如果磷虾油可以通过对软骨和骨骼的影响来延迟膝关节软骨的损失，这可能会导致膝关节置换手术时间的延迟和OA患者生活质量的改善。
