We test the analytical formula for the enhancement of the nuclear magnetic resonance rate $T_1^{ -1}$ by the critical spin fluctuations, over the simple power-law dependence predicted for a purely one-dimensional spin system, recently derived in the random phase approximation [M. Dupont et al., Phys. Rev. B 98, 094403 (2018)]. This prediction is experimentally confirmed by excellent fits to the published temperature dependence of $T_1^{ -1}$ data in the two representative spin compounds, (C$_7$H$_{ 10}$N)$_2$CuBr$_4$ (DIMPY) and BaCo$_2$V$_2$O$_8$, providing at the same time a direct and convenient experimental determination of the Tomonaga-Luttinger-liquid parameter $K$, very well in agreement with theoretical predictions.
