Omega-3 benefits for back pain
Omega-3 Fatty Acid Supplementation Reduces Intervertebral Disc Degeneration.
Moderate relevance to back pain
This study explored whether omega-3 fatty acids (n-3 FA) could slow down intervertebral disc degeneration, a common source of lower back pain. We induced disc degeneration in rats and then divided them into two groups—one received a daily diet enriched with omega-3s, while the other had a control diet.
After a month, we noted a decrease in inflammation markers in the omega-3 group. Furthermore, MRI scans showed better hydration in their discs and histological assessments indicated less tissue damage. These findings suggest that omega-3 supplementation could be beneficial for back pain related to disc degeneration.

Omega-3 fish oil and pain
Circulating Polyunsaturated Fatty Acids and Pain Intensity in Five Chronic Pain Conditions.
Moderate relevance to pain management
We explored the link between omega-3 fatty acids and various pain conditions in a study involving 605 adults. Despite high expectations, our findings revealed that a higher intake ratio of omega-6 to omega-3 fatty acids was associated with increased pain intensity, including low back pain.
Notably, higher levels of the omega-3 docosahexaenoic acid (DHA) seemed to have a protective effect, indicating that bolstering omega-3 intake might help reduce pain levels. However, the study did not show strong evidence that omega-3 fish oil directly alleviates back pain specifically.

Fish oil may ease back pain
Omega-3 fatty acids (fish oil) as an anti-inflammatory: an alternative to nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs for discogenic pain.
Findings support safe pain relief.
We explored the effectiveness of omega-3 fish oil supplements as an alternative treatment for nonsurgical neck and back pain. Over a period from March to June 2004, we asked 250 patients to take 1200 mg of omega-3 fatty acids daily. After about a month, a questionnaire revealed that 60% of participants reported improvement in their overall pain and joint pain. A significant number even stopped using traditional NSAIDs, with over 88% expressing the desire to continue taking fish oil. Overall, our findings suggest that fish oil could be a safer option for managing pain without notable side effects.

Joint pain relief
This is not the first time I have used these capsules during my strength training. Without them, my hip joint experienced pain, but with their intake, the pain has subsided.

Inflammation reduction
High-quality supplement! I put my husband on three of these at night. It has lowered his triglycerides and improved his cholesterol levels. There’s no fishy aftertaste, and it has helped reduce inflammation in his joints.

l-Serine and EPA reduce pain
l-Serine and EPA Relieve Chronic Low-Back and Knee Pain in Adults: A Randomized, Double-Blind, Placebo-Controlled Trial.
Study relevance: Moderate
We investigated whether l-serine and EPA could help relieve chronic low-back and knee pain in adults. In a well-structured study with 120 participants, half received a combination of these compounds while the other half received a placebo. After eight weeks, results showed that those taking l-serine and EPA experienced significant pain relief.
This suggests that these compounds could be beneficial for individuals suffering from chronic pain, improving their overall quality of life. However, as with all treatments, individual results may vary.

Omega-3 may reduce back pain
Circulating Omega-6 and Omega-3 Polyunsaturated Fatty Acids in Painful Temporomandibular Disorder and Low Back Pain.
Moderate relevance to back pain
We examined the connection between the levels of omega-3 and omega-6 fatty acids in the blood and chronic pain conditions like lower back pain. In our study of 503 adults, we found that a higher ratio of omega-6 to omega-3 was linked to increased odds of experiencing both low back pain and temporomandibular disorder.
Interestingly, while men benefited from higher levels of omega-3 causing lower pain likelihood, the same effect wasn't seen for women. Overall, our findings suggest that omega-3 could play a role in managing back pain, although the results vary by gender.
