Las Vegas, NevadaAges 35–75 - NCT06469177Enrolling by invitation
Pain management app study for joint replacement recovery
This study tests a smartphone tool to help manage pain after hip, knee, or shoulder replacement. It aims to see if using the tool improves your recovery compared to standard care.
Dartmouth, Nova ScotiaAges 19 years+ - NCT06245109RecruitingPhase 4
Pain medicine study for knee osteoarthritis
This study tests how well different pain medicines work for knee osteoarthritis and looks at brain patterns to understand why some people get more relief. It may help you find a treatment that works best for you.
Chicago, IllinoisAges 41 years+ - NCT06208631Recruiting
Movement retraining for knee osteoarthritis pain
This study tests a movement retraining program to see if changing how you walk can reduce stress on your knee and ease osteoarthritis pain. It’s a good fit for people with mild knee pain who want a non-surgical option.
Stanford, CaliforniaAges 18 years+ - NCT06211387Enrolling by invitation
Stretching plus resistance exercise for knee osteoarthritis
This study tests whether adding a gentle stretching technique to resistance exercises helps reduce knee pain and improve movement in people with knee osteoarthritis. It may be a good option if you have mild-to-moderate knee arthritis and want to strengthen your knees without surgery.
Islamabad, FederalAges 40–65 - NCT06228573Recruiting
Brain stimulation and yoga for knee pain
This study combines a gentle brain stimulation technique (tDCS) with yoga to see if it helps reduce knee pain and improve movement in people with knee osteoarthritis.
Hamilton, OntarioAges 45 years+ - NCT05980442Recruiting
Navigation vs robotic-arm assisted knee replacement
This study compares two different high-tech tools used during total knee replacement surgery: one that uses a navigation system (OrthoPilot) and one that uses a robotic arm (MAKO). The goal is to see if one method leads to better results. If you're having a total knee replacement, this trial could help your surgeon choose the best approach.
Ulm, Baden-WurttembergAges 18–90 - NCT05848622Recruiting
Gait retraining after ACL surgery for fast knee recovery
This trial tests a walking (gait) rehabilitation program to improve how you move after ACL reconstruction. It may help if you are still having walking mechanics issues in the months to years after surgery.
Chapel Hill, North CarolinaAges 16–35 - NCT05596591Recruiting
Shockwave treatment for knee arthritis pain with MRI-confirmed lesions
This trial tests whether focused shockwave therapy (a non-surgical treatment) can reduce knee arthritis pain. It specifically targets people whose MRI shows a small bone problem in one area of the knee.
Cedar Knolls, New JerseyAges 30–80 - NCT05543941Recruiting
Test advanced irrigation during knee, hip, or shoulder replacement
This trial studies a cleaning solution used during surgery to lower the risk of complications and improve outcomes after joint replacement. It may be an option if you’re having a planned knee, hip, or humerus (shoulder) replacement and meet the specific health and allergy requirements.
Vancouver, British ColumbiaAges 18 years+ - NCT05290818Recruiting
Robotic vs standard knee replacement for inner-joint wear
This trial compares robotic-assisted knee replacement with the usual (non-robotic) approach for people with severe arthritis on the inner (medial) side of the knee. It aims to see which method works better for pain and function while matching the right knee anatomy for certain implant types.
Edinburgh, LothianAges 50–75 - NCT05020028RecruitingPhase 2/Phase 3
CBD to reduce knee pain from osteoarthritis
This study tests cannabidiol (CBD) to help lower pain from knee osteoarthritis. It may be an option if you have ongoing knee pain and meet age, safety, and medication guidelines.

Stem cell injection trial for chronic knee osteoarthritis
This early-phase study tests an injection of donor stem cells placed into the knee joint to help reduce symptoms of knee osteoarthritis. You may be eligible if you have long-lasting knee pain from mild-to-moderate arthritis and meet safety and imaging requirements.
Aarhus NAges 40–75 - NCT07734311RecruitingPhase 3
Testing a weight-loss injection for knee arthritis pain
This study tests whether an experimental weight-loss injection can reduce knee pain in people who are obese and have knee osteoarthritis. It may help if you have been unable to lose weight through diet and exercise and have moderate knee pain.
Wuhan, HubeiAges 18–75 - NCT02915120Recruiting

Palma, Balear IslandsAges 40 years+ - NCT05423587Recruiting
Knee artery procedure for long-lasting knee arthritis pain
This study looks at whether blocking small blood vessels in the knee (genicular artery embolisation) can reduce pain from knee osteoarthritis when other non-surgical treatments haven't helped. It also checks safety and whether people can tolerate the imaging tests needed for the procedure.
