Abstract
BACKGROUND: The objective of this review is to evaluate whether clinical research has gained any evidence of effectiveness of Rosa canina preparations. METHODS: Several databases and other sources were searched to identify randomized controlled trials of Rosa canina preparations. RESULTS: Trials were described in a narrative way, taking into consideration methodological quality scores. Four trials were included in this review and two were identified as subgroup analyses. CONCLUSIONS: Moderate evidence exists for the use of a powder of the seeds and husks of a Rosa canina subspecies in patients suffering from osteoarthritis. Copyright 2006 John Wiley & Sons, Ltd.
