What this study is about

Researchers are testing whether a low-carbohydrate diet can help reduce pain in people with osteoarthritis of the knee. The trial will provide all meals to participants to ensure they follow the diet, which should improve the results compared to previous studies. Participants will be adults with knee OA who are asked to complete two phases: a run-up week and a 6-week randomized diet intervention.
