Chrubasik (2003) conducted a randomized, double-blind pilot study of acutely exacerbated low back pain patients. 41.8% patients taking devils claw extract had a 50% or greater reduction in pain. While only 33.3% of those taking rofecoxib (Vioxx) reported 50% or greater reduction in pain. Chrubasik S, Model A, Black A, et al.

Devils claw contains compounds known as iridoid glucosides, which influence inflammation mediators in the body (prostaglandins, eicosanoids, and leucotrienes). By reducing the production of these inflammatory compounds, both pain and inflammation are reduced . Devils claw also helps moderate the production of TNF (Tumor Necrosis Factor). The overabundance of TNF is one of the factors that is linked to Rheumatoid Arthritis autoimmune inflammation. Moderating the overabundance of TNF reduces the body's run away immune response and its associated inflammation. Joints receive additional protection with devils claw extract.
