A randomized, multicenter, prospective, double-blind, placebo-controlled, clinical trial in the parallel groups to determine the efficacy and safety of a 60-day use of the dietary supplement Magnox Comfort compared to the placebo in subjects with nocturnal legs cramps
At the beginning of the study, study subjects undergo a 14-day screening period during which the number of episodes of NLC is recorded. For further participation in the study, they must have at least 4 NLC episodes. Thereafter, an examination of compliance with the study requirements is performed and study subjects are randomized to one of the two groups: for a 60-day of IP use (1 capsule of Magnox Comfort daily) or to the control group (1 capsule of placebo daily).
