Probiotics are often used as an adjunct or nonpharmacological approach to treating various forms of arthritis, but studies have shown mixed results. A 12-week study assessing the effect of an orally administered probiotic on disease activity, fatigue, quality of life, and intestinal symptoms in patients with active SpA demonstrated no significant benefit over placebo.16 In contrast, a study assessing 8 weeks of Lactobacillus casei 01 supplementation in patients with RA showed improvements in disease activity and inflammatory status versus placebo.17 A major challenge with studying probiotics is the complexity of selecting the strains and formulations most likely to have a beneficial impact on the microbiome of the arthritis type studied. Furthermore, sufficient randomized clinical trials to guide clinical practice are lacking. Until more definitive data are available, decisions on probiotics are likely to continue to be guided by anecdotal evidence. Photo credit: MicroScape / Science Source
