Group A (placebo first) showed significantly more improvement from Hyben Vital than from placebo, p < 0.0078 for pain and < 0.0025 for stiffness. But Group B (Hyben Vital first) revealed a positive effect of the same order as for Hyben Vital in group A, not only from the active drug, ...Continue Reading
