We are looking for people with knee osteoarthritis to participate in a study to examine whether a diet intervention can reduce pain and improve quality of life. The commitment to this study will last approximately 7 weeks and include the following:

  • Five (5) visits to UAB where you will fill out questionnaires, complete a DEXA scan, blood draw or Quantitative Sensory testing. These visits will last anywhere from 1-3 hrs.
  • Six (6) weeks on a randomized diet where we will provide three (3) meals and two to three (2-3) snacks per day.

Participants must:

  • Be currently suffering from pain related to knee osteoarthritis
  • Be free from other serious health conditions (diabetes, cardiovascular disease, eating disorders, metabolic disease)

Participants will receive up to $250 for completing the study and meals will be provided. Please contact DIRECT at This email address is being protected from spambots. You need JavaScript enabled to view it. (205) 834-3628. Leave a short message with your name and number.
