Abstract

Background: The objective of this review is to evaluate whether clinical research has gained any evidence of effectiveness 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.
