Curcumin is suggested to possess potent anti-inflammatory properties. This study focuses on determining the prevalence and perceived efficacy of curcumin supplementation in rheumatoid arthritis (RA) and psoriatic arthritis (PsA) population. We conducted a cross-sectional study on patients with RA and PsA who visited a rheumatology outpatient clinic from October 2019 to March 2020. A brief, voluntary, and anonymous Qualtrics survey of specific questions regarding curcumin use, source, form, method, dosage, side effects, and perceived efficacy was distributed to the patients. Descriptive and correlation analyses were performed. Among the 291 patients included, 46.4% of patients reported taking curcumin supplementation. Majority patients supplemented once a day (53.4%) and took dosages ranging from less than 200 mg/day to around 1000 mg/day of curcumin. Pain scores decreased significantly after starting curcumin therapy (p < 0.0001). Patients who were taking curcumin for years reported better symptomatic control when compared with patients taking it for months (p 0.01), weeks (p 0.02), or days (p 0.02). There was a significant difference in symptom improvement in patients taking 200-1000 mg compared to patients taking less than 200 mg (p 0.01). Patients taking curcumin once or twice a day reported significant symptom improvement compared to patients taking it sporadically. Symptomatic improvement was reported as pain (35.7%), swelling (25%), stiffness (23.21%), and fatigue (16.07%). An interesting correlation exists between the symptom relief and the frequency, dosages (200-1000 mg), and duration (years) of curcumin supplementation. Our study indicates that curcumin supplementation positively influenced outcomes in 46.4% of individuals with RA and PsA, reducing pain, swelling, stiffness, and fatigue. This suggests curcumin's potential as an adjunct therapy for these conditions.
