Brief Summary
Review the sponsor-provided synopsis that highlights what the study is about and why it is being conducted.
Detailed Description
Dive into the extended narrative that explains the scientific background, objectives, and procedures in greater depth.
Yeahhh Baby! ointment is an herbal (botanical: plant-based) treatment for those impacted by joint pain. The product contains a variety of herbal ingredients that have been touted by some within the alternative medicine community as "healing agents." The product started selling in 2016 and is available commercially as an all-natural alternative to other commercially available products. This ointment consists primarily of coconut oil (98%), with magnesium and small amounts of herbal ingredients (tanner's bark, slippery root, sweet weed, velvet plant, walnut hulls, kidney root, green ginger, Indian pink, mad dogweed, and nigella seed) thought to reduce inflammation and to promote tissue healing.
The present study will compare the impact of the Yeahhh Baby! Ointment, as compared to a placebo, on measures of joint pain and discomfort in those who regularly experience joint pain. The hypothesis is that perceived pain will be reduced when subjects use the Yeahhh Baby! Ointment. Previous studies exploring the efficacy of topicals on joint pain relief have used a similar design and similar joint pain assessments as employed herein (The Western Ontario and McMaster Universities Arthritis Index \[WOMAC\] and visual analog scale \[VAS\] for pain).
