      <study_design>Randomization: Randomized, Blinding: Double blinded, Placebo: Used, Assignment: Parallel, Purpose: Treatment, Randomization description: Randomization will be done through the official website https://www.sealedenvelope.com/simple-randomiser/v1/list. The participants will be randomly (classified by randomized block method) in one of the two curcumin piperine supplement groups along with manual therapy and manual therapy plus placebo, as the control group. In order to distribute patients into intervention and control groups, first, people will be classified by age and divided using blocks of four. Randomization is done inside each block based on the random chain that will be extracted from the site, Blinding description: In this study, participants, therapists, and assessors will be blinded to the receipt of curcumin-piperine or placebo.</study_design>

      <i_freetext>Intervention 1: Daily intake of one capsule containing curcumin-piperine (with 500 mg of curcumin extract and 5 mg of piperine) alongside manual therapy (3 sessions per week) for 14 days. Manual Therapy Protocol: Manual therapy followed a fixed 30-minute protocol per session, including soft tissue techniques, specific joint mobilizations (Maitland), and passive stretching, delivered by trained physiotherapists. Intervention 2: Daily intake of one placebo capsule alongside manual therapy (3 sessions per week) for 14 days. Manual Therapy Protocol: Manual therapy followed a fixed 30-minute protocol per session, including soft tissue techniques, specific joint mobilizations (Maitland), and passive stretching, delivered by trained physiotherapists.</i_freetext>
