Brief Summary: Dysbiosis of the gut microbiota is believed to contribute to the development and progression of osteoarthritis OA suggesting a role for probiotics in the treatment of OA Animal studies have shown that certain probiotic strains decrease the inflammatory responses pain sensitization and OA progression There are however few clinical studies in humans to support this In this double-blinded randomized controlled trial we will investigate the effect of 6-months probiotic supplements compared to placebo on OA related outcomes in females with diagnosed knee OA
Detailed Description: Aim

To investigate the effect of 6-moths probiotic supplements compared to placebo on OA related outcomes in females with diagnosed knee OA

Design Double-blinded randomized placebo controlled trial

Study arms One treatment arm will receive probiotic supplement in opaque white capsules and the other treatment arm will receive identical opaque placebo capsules The placebo product will contain maize starch powder Study participants will take one capsule daily for six months

Statistical analysis Main outcome The independent T-test will be used to evaluate group differences in change in KOOS-12 scores between baseline and 6-months follow-up given that all assumptions for parametric tests are satisfied If assumptions are not met or if there are differences in baseline characteristics due to imbalanced randomization the Mann-Whitney U-test or regression analysis will be used as appropriate

Secondary and explorative outcomes The independent T-test continuous normal distributed data the Mann-Whitney U-test ordinal non-normally distributed data and cross-tabulations with Chi2 test nominal data will be used to evaluate differences in secondary and explorative outcomes between the two groups

Estimated enrollment 86 participants Based on the ability to detect a 10-score difference in KOOS-12 with 80 power and α 005 72 participants 36 per arm will be needed With an approximate drop-out rate of 20 from baseline to follow-up 86 participants will be recruited
