简要总结
This is a 2x2 factorial design randomised controlled trial in which participants with knee pain will be grouped into the diet intervention, exercise intervention, diet and exercise intervention or placebo arm. The study involves intake of dietary supplements and performing routine exercises which are commonly used and are not pharmacological agents. N= 117. 2x2 intervention with individuals per block: placebo (n=27), diet only (n=26), exercise only (n=40), diet + exercise (n=24)

结局指标
主要结局
Change in Numerical Rate Score (NRS) for Pain
时间窗: Baseline and 6 weeks
The Numerical Rate Score (NRS) will be used to assess the changes in the level of pain in response to the intervention between baseline and follow-up. Participants reported their pain on a scale ranging from 0 to 10, where 0 represents no pain and 10 the worst pain imaginable.
