Methods: The 2 × 2 crossover trial enrolled 42 osteoarthritis patients (Marhame-Mafasel versus placebo) in 2006. The instrument of data collection was Western Ontario and McMaster Universities (WOMAC) LK3.1 standard questionnaires. We used conditional estimation to adjust non-compliance effect. Results: The participants in each group were 21 patients. About 30 (71.4%) were female. The participants were between 40-76 years old. Positive analgesic effect of herbal pomade "Marhame-Mafasel" on knee osteoarthritis severity was considerable ( P Conclusion: Herbal joint pomade "Marhame-Mafasel" has significant positive analgesic effect on primary knee osteoarthritis.
