since other studies have shown about the same thing. Studies indicate there is something going on for some patients beyond the placebo effect. It's just not 100% across the board.

Some people do experience relief of pain and improvement in walking or other tasks. Some people don't experience a thing and no one has reported a worsening of symptoms on it.

I always say it's worth a 2 month trial. By the end of 2 months, people generally have an idea if it's worth continuing or not.
