This study tests whether adding platelet-rich plasma (PRP) to hyaluronic acid injections improves knee osteoarthritis pain and function better than hyaluronic acid alone. You may be eligible if you have moderate knee osteoarthritis and no other knee problems.
Warsaw, Masovian VoivodeshipAges 18 years+ - NCT07784907Recruiting
Platelet-rich plasma and hyaluronic acid for knee arthritis
This trial tests whether a combination of platelet-rich plasma (a concentrate from your own blood) and hyaluronic acid (a joint lubricant) helps reduce pain and improve function in people with knee arthritis. You may be eligible if you have moderate knee pain but your other knee is relatively pain-free.
Chełm, Lublin VoivodeshipAges 18 years+ - NCT07541274Recruiting
Thigh Muscle Quality and Knee Osteoarthritis Outcomes
This study looks at how the strength and quality of your thigh muscles relate to how well your knee osteoarthritis improves. Researchers will measure your muscle and track your knee function to understand this connection better.
Izmir, Bayraklı/izmirAges 40–70 - NCT07522489Recruiting
New knee replacement surgery guidance methods compared
This study compares two ways doctors use computer guidance during robotic knee replacement surgery for severe knee arthritis. The trial tests whether both methods work equally well or if one is better for patient recovery and results.
Warsaw, MazovianAges 18 years+ - NCT07664371Recruiting
Cold therapy versus heat therapy for knee arthritis pain
This study compares two minimally invasive treatments for knee pain caused by arthritis when other treatments haven't worked. One uses cold (cryoneurolysis) and the other uses heat (radiofrequency) to calm nerves and reduce pain.
TantaAges 18 years+ - NCT07733518Recruiting
Exercise comparison for knee osteoarthritis
This trial compares two types of exercise—eccentric training and low-load blood flow restriction training—to see which is better for reducing pain and improving function in people with knee osteoarthritis.
Rawalpindi, Punjab ProvinceAges 40–70 - NCT07351968RecruitingPhase 1
Study of HRS-2129 for knee osteoarthritis pain
This trial tests an investigational drug, HRS-2129, for people with knee osteoarthritis who have moderate to severe pain. It aims to see if the drug is safe and effective at reducing pain.
Nanjing, JiangsuAges 18–80 - NCT07731737Recruiting
Biofeedback vs foam roller for knee osteoarthritis
This trial compares two non-surgical therapies—pressure biofeedback and foam rolling—to see which better reduces pain, improves muscle function, and boosts quality of life in people with early-stage knee osteoarthritis.
LahoreAges 45–65 - NCT07484529Recruiting
Water vs land exercises for knee osteoarthritis
This study compares two types of physical therapy exercises — one done in water and one done on land — to see which is better for reducing pain and improving movement in people with knee osteoarthritis.
RawalpindiAges 40–65 - NCT07712419Recruiting
Predicting response to knee nerve block with ultrasound
This study is testing if a type of ultrasound can help predict how well a nerve block injection will work for people with severe knee osteoarthritis. It may help doctors choose the best treatment for your pain.
IstanbulAges 45 years+ - NCT07706569Recruiting
Fetuin-A and COMP levels in knee osteoarthritis
This study looks at two substances in the blood (fetuin-A and COMP) to see if they are linked to knee osteoarthritis severity. Results may help understand the disease better.
AntalyaAges Any age - NCT03491761RecruitingPhase 2
PRP injection versus hyaluronic acid shots for knee arthritis
This trial tests whether a platelet-rich plasma (PRP) shot works better than a standard hyaluronic acid (“gel”) injection to reduce knee osteoarthritis pain. It may help people with ongoing knee pain choose the treatment that relieves symptoms more effectively.
Skokie, IllinoisAges 18–75 - NCT03711773Recruiting
Low-impact exercise classes for joint pain
This study tests a gentle, low-impact exercise program to improve pain and function for adults with knee, ankle, and/or hip pain. You’ll also attend dietitian and behavioral health classes as part of standard care while you participate.
Columbia, MissouriAges 18 years+ - NCT07537153Recruiting
Blocking Blood Vessels to Reduce Knee Arthritis Pain
This trial tests a procedure called genicular artery embolization, which blocks small blood vessels around the knee to reduce pain from moderate arthritis. It may help people whose knee pain hasn't improved with medications.
Chicago, IllinoisAges 40–80 - NCT04247672Recruiting
Study of knee replacement outcomes using a specific knee implant
This study follows people who need knee replacement for “end-stage” knee osteoarthritis and will receive a specific knee implant system as part of routine care. It aims to measure how well the knee replacement works for patients over time, which may help improve future care.
Hoofddorp, North HollandAges 21–90 - NCT04814082Recruiting
Compare two knee implant types for walking and function
This study compares two designs of knee replacement implants to see how they affect walking, function, and outcomes after surgery. You may be randomly assigned to one of the implant types used for your specific, approved knee replacement.
Baltimore, MarylandAges 18–75 - NCT06809998RecruitingPhase 1/Phase 2
Steroid injection in non-surgical knee before knee replacement
This study tests whether a single steroid injection in the healthy knee (the one not being replaced) can reduce pain and improve recovery after total knee replacement. It may help people who have arthritis in both knees but are only having one replaced now.
Toronto, OntarioAges 18 years+ - NCT04992624RecruitingPhase 2
Cannabinoid treatment effects on knee pain and nerve signals
This Phase 2 study tests whether a cannabinoid-related treatment changes how pain works in people with knee osteoarthritis. It uses questionnaires, MRI, and gentle nerve testing to understand if treatment helps pain and pain-related signals.
Ann Arbor, MichiganAges 21–75 - NCT04998188Recruiting
Hydrolyzed collagen for one knee with osteoarthritis
This trial tests whether a hydrolyzed collagen drink or supplement can reduce knee pain and symptoms compared with a placebo (inactive treatment) in people with osteoarthritis. It may help if you’ve tried standard non-surgical treatments and still have ongoing knee trouble.
BolognaAges 18–75 - NCT05039463Recruiting
Platelet-Rich Plasma and Hyaluronic Acid for Knee Arthritis
This trial tests whether combining two types of injections—platelet-rich plasma (a concentration of healing cells from your own blood) and hyaluronic acid (a natural lubricant)—can reduce knee osteoarthritis pain and improve function over one year. You're eligible if you've already received or are about to receive these injections at Amiens University Hospital.
AmiensAges 18 years+ - NCT05378815Recruiting
Platelet injections for knee arthritis pain
This study tests whether platelet-rich plasma (a treatment made from your own blood) can reduce symptoms of knee osteoarthritis. It focuses on people with specific types of knee pain and X-ray findings, and compares against rules around current pain medicines and injections.
Créteil, Val-De-MarneAges 40–79 - NCT05559463Recruiting
Anti-inflammatory diet for knee arthritis pain relief
This trial studies whether an anti-inflammatory eating plan (the “ITIS diet”) can improve symptoms in people with knee osteoarthritis. It is meant to see if changing what you eat can help reduce pain and improve function.
La Jolla, CaliforniaAges 18 years+ - NCT05700682Recruiting
MRI-guided artery blockage procedure for long-term joint pain
This study tests whether an MRI scan that looks at blood flow can help target a joint embolization procedure to reduce chronic shoulder, hip, or knee pain. It first uses MRI to find signs of increased blood flow, then may use the findings to guide treatment if you qualify.
Palo Alto, CaliforniaAges 25–80

Common questions
- Are there clinical trials for knee osteoarthritis?
- Yes. Clin2 currently lists 409 recruiting knee osteoarthritis studies from the U.S. registry, each rewritten for real people, not researchers, so you can see what it’s testing and who it’s for.
- How do I know if I qualify for a knee osteoarthritis trial?
- Each study lists its eligibility criteria — rules about age, diagnosis, and prior treatments. On every Clin2 trial page we explain these in words written for real people and offer a short, optional pre-screen for a fit read. The study team makes the final decision.
- Does it cost anything to join a knee osteoarthritis trial?
- Using Clin2 is always free. Many trials cover the cost of the study treatment and related visits; some reimburse travel. The study team explains exactly what’s covered before you decide.
