Six men and 14 women (aged 51\u2009\u00b1\u200910 years) with self-reported joint pain were randomly assigned, using a cross-over design, to a botanical ointment (Yeahhh Baby!\u00ae) or placebo, twice daily for 14 days. Subjects completed questionnaires regarding their joint pain and discomfort (eg, WOMAC and subjective pain using a visual analog scale [VAS]) each evening and underwent a washout period of two weeks before crossing into the other condition. Pain and discomfort scores improved for subjects when using Yeahhh Baby!\u00ae ointment from day 1 to the average of days 2-15. For certain measures, similar, albeit insignificant, improvements were noted when subjects used the placebo\u2014demonstrating the powerful placebo effect. Specifically, with Yeahhh Baby!\u00ae ointment, effects were noted for WOMAC pain ( P\u2009=\u2009.008), WOMAC physical function ( P\u2009=\u2009.024), WOMAC total ( P\u2009=\u2009.019), and VAS mood interference ( P\u2009=\u2009.042). The most pronounced improvement was noted for WOMAC pain ( P\u2009=\u2009.048), with a 25% reduction observed with Yeahhh Baby!\u00ae, with a 10% reduction noted for placebo. These findings indicate that, as compared to a placebo, Yeahhh Baby!\u00ae ointment may provide relief to individuals suffering from joint pain in their knees and\/or hips.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.1177\/2515690x221138824","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2022,11,22]],"date-time":"2022-11-22T03:01:38Z","timestamp":1669086098000},"update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.1177\/sage-journals-update-policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":0,"title":["A Topical Botanical Ointment for Self-Reported Hip and\/or Knee Pain:  A Randomized Placebo-Controlled  Clinical Trial"],"prefix":"10.1177","volume":"27","author":[{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0003-4277-3207","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Richard J.","family":"Bloomer","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"Center for Nutraceutical and Dietary Supplement Research, College of Health Sciences, University of Memphis, Memphis, TN, USA"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Jacquelyn","family":"Pence","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Center for Nutraceutical and Dietary Supplement Research, College of Health Sciences, University of Memphis, Memphis, TN, USA"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"suffix":"Jr.","given":"Roddy","family":"Morris","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Center for Nutraceutical and Dietary Supplement Research, College of Health Sciences, University of Memphis, Memphis, TN, USA"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Michelle","family":"B.
