In a recent study at Baylor Medical Center in Dallas, five out of six patients said cherry extract provided significant pain relief.
Dr. John Cush, who led the study, said cherries "have a lot of the same properties that common anti-inflammatory medicines like ibuprofen or naproxen will have."
Kim Adair, one of Cush's patients in the study, said she noticed almost complete relief within three months of starting the gelcap therapy. Adair said her symptoms returned when the study ended and she stopped taking the gelcaps.
