Growing Need for Non-Addictive Pain Relief

Arthritis is the number one cause of disability in America, with more than 54 million people afflicted. Common prescription medications such as corticosteroids and over the counter (OTC) treatments, including non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs) and acetaminophen, are not considered safe for long-term treatment of pain. Finding safe alternatives to traditional OTC and prescription-based pain relievers, like opioids, is an industry priority. According to the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services, addiction to opioid pain relievers has contributed to a national public health emergency, with 10 million patients misusing prescription opioids in the past year and over 70,000 drug overdose deaths.

Capsadyn™’s burning properties were statistically equal to the placebo cream (p = 0.32).
