The effects of topical <i>Achillea millefolium</i> oil in patients with knee osteoarthritis: A randomized double-blind active-controlled clinical trial
Bibliographic record
Abstract
Knee osteoarthritis is the leading causes of disability. In this study, the topical effect of Achillea millefolium oil on pain intensity and functional indices in patients with knee osteoarthritis was investigated. In this double-blind randomized clinical trial, 90 patients with knee osteoarthritis referred to the Rafsanjan Rheumatology Clinic were randomly divided into three groups: topical piroxicam 0.5% gel, A. millefolium oil, and paraffin ointment (placebo). The diagnosis of the disease was made by a rheumatology specialist based on the criteria of the American College of Rheumatology. pain Visual Analogue Scale (VAS) and the Western Ontario and McMaster (WOMAC) index, before intervention, one and two months after it were assessed. Data were analyzed using SPSS.24 software and a significance level of 0.05. The mean of age and frequency of gender were not significantly difference between the three groups of A. millefolium oil, piroxicam gel, and placebo (P=0.914 and P=0.189 respectively). There was a significant difference in the mean of pain VAS (F = 23.173, P <0.001) and WOMAC (F = 35.098, P <0.001) over time (12 weeks). According to the results of this study, the effect of the A. millefolium plant in reducing pain intensity and improving the functional status of patients can reduce the need for the use of other chemical drugs.

How this classification was reachedexpand
Full frame distilled prediction
Teacher imitationNot calibrated prevalence, not ground truth. Human validation pending. Learned from the 10,348 direct Codex labels and 10,348 direct Gemma labels. Candidate is the union of thresholded teacher heads; consensus is their intersection. These outputs are machine_predicted_unvalidated and are not human labels or direct frontier model labels.

Machine scores (provisional)
The two teacher heads of the student model, read on this work. A score orders the frame for review; it never asserts a category, and the validation status ships verbatim with every row.
Baseline scores from an immature model (maturity gate not passed, 7 training rounds). Scores rank; they never assert a category.
score_only:v0-immature-baseline · verbatim from the scoring run: score_only means the number may rank works, and no category label ships from itClassification
machine, unvalidatedMachine predicted; a candidate call from one teacher head, not a consensus.
