Warm moringa leaf and cinnamon compresses may reduce gout joint pain by 1.75-2.0 points

Three non-randomized interventional studies with a combined 100 gout arthritis patients examined warm moringa leaf and cinnamon compress applications. Pain reductions ranged from 1.75 to 2.0 points on pain scales, with one study showing mean scores dropping from 6.98 to 4.98 after 3 consecutive days of treatment. A comparative study found cinnamon compress significantly lowered uric acid levels versus ginger compress (p=0.018), though pain scale differences were not statistically significant (p=0.119). While inferior to ginger-lemongrass combinations in direct comparison (1.75 vs 3.67 point reduction, p=0.000), the moringa-cinnamon approach still delivered measurable pain relief. The evidence comes from Indonesian studies using purposive sampling in elderly populations, suggesting this traditional topical therapy offers modest symptomatic benefit for gout arthritis flares.

A pre-experimental one-group pre-post test design study with 44 gout arthritis patients (from a population of 80) using purposive sampling examined the combination of warm moringa leaf compress and Islamic-based deep breathing therapy applied for 3 consecutive days. Mean joint pain scores decreased from 6.98 before intervention to 4.98 after intervention, representing a reduction of 2.0 points on the pain scale. Wilcoxon signed-rank test showed statistically significant results for the combined intervention in reducing joint pain.

In a non-randomized interventional study with 24 elderly gout arthritis patients in Aceh Besar District (April-June 2024), the moringa leaf and cinnamon warm compress group achieved a mean pain reduction of 1.75 points on the pain scale. While statistically inferior to the ginger-lemongrass group (mean reduction 3.67, p=0.000), this treatment still demonstrated measurable pain reduction benefit. The study population consisted of 89 gout patients with 24 selected through purposive sampling for the intervention.

PERBEDAAN EFEKTIVITAS KOMPRES HANGAT KAYU MANIS DAN KOMPRES HANGAT JAHE PUTIH TERHADAP SKALA NYERI KADAR ASAM URAT SUHU LOKAL GOUT ARTHRITIS

Authors: ., Nurul Hafiza

Published: July 12, 2019

A quasi-experimental study with 32 gout arthritis patients using purposive sampling compared warm cinnamon compress versus warm white ginger compress. Pre-test and post-test measurements assessed pain scale (Numeric Rating Scale), uric acid levels (glucometer), and local temperature (infrared thermometer). Statistical analysis using paired t-test, Wilcoxon test, and Mann-Whitney test showed a significant difference in uric acid levels between groups (p = 0.018), favoring the cinnamon compress. No significant differences were found for pain scale (p = 0.119) or local temperature (p = 0.100).
