Pycnogenol (French Maritime Pine Bark) for the Treatment of Gulf War Illness (NCT07266571)
🩺 Plain-English Summary (8th-Grade Level)
The purpose of this research study is to determine how pycnogenol may reduce Gulf War Illness (GWI) symptom severity. The study will also examine the safety of this treatment and determine the optimal dosage. The investigators believe that GWI involves inflammation in the body and brain that causes fatigue, pain, cognitive disruption, and other symptoms. Botanicals that reduce inflammation may help treat GWI.
