Palmitoylethanolamide (PEA) is a naturally occurring fatty acid amide that has been gaining attention as a safe and effective option for managing chronic pain. In recent years, numerous studies have been conducted to examine the benefits of PEA in pain management. Here, we outline 5 key studies that demonstrate the efficacy of PEA in managing chronic pain.
-
A study published in the journal "Pain Medicine" found that PEA was effective in reducing pain and improving quality of life in patients with chronic low back pain.
-
Another study published in the "Journal of Pain Research" found that PEA was able to reduce pain and improve mobility in patients with osteoarthritis.
-
A randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled trial published in the "European Journal of Pain" found that PEA was effective in reducing pain and improving sleep in patients with fibromyalgia.
-
A study published in the "Journal of Clinical Rheumatology" found that PEA was effective in reducing pain and improving function in patients with rheumatoid arthritis.

A study published in the "Journal of Neural Transmission" found that PEA was effective in reducing neuropathic pain, a type of chronic pain that results from nerve damage.
These studies demonstrate the potential of PEA as a safe and effective option for managing chronic pain. If you're struggling with chronic pain, it's important to speak with your doctor about all of your options, including the use of PEA.
