doxycycline and osteoarthritis

Question  At the present time, do we know if there is any possible benefit to taking a low dose of doxycycline for someone with generalized osteoarthritis?
 
Answer  The clinical trial information has had mixed results- some trials showing benefit, others not. If there is a benefit, it is likely very modest. Dr. Ken Brandt has been interested in this topic.
