Portsmouth, HampshireAges 40–85 - NCT06872567Recruiting
Knee artery block vs. steroid injection for arthritis pain
This study compares two treatments for knee arthritis pain: a procedure that blocks blood flow to the painful area (genicular artery embolization) versus a steroid injection into the knee joint. The goal is to see which one provides better pain relief.
Charlottesville, VirginiaAges 40 years+ - NCT06893302Recruiting
Bone marrow injection during knee scope for cartilage or meniscus
This trial tests if adding a bone marrow injection to standard knee arthroscopy helps your knee heal better. It is for people with a torn meniscus or damaged cartilage who have healthy knee joints without arthritis.
New York, New YorkAges 18–64 - NCT06929871Recruiting
Cementless vs. cementless knee replacement for osteoarthritis

Voodoo flossing for knee arthritis pain and mobility
This study tests if a special flossing technique (tight elastic bands wrapped around the knee) can improve pain, stiffness, and walking in people with knee osteoarthritis. It is designed for patients who have had knee pain for at least 3 months and have trouble walking or balancing.
Lahore, Punjab ProvinceAges 45–65 - NCT07089251RecruitingPhase 4
Epinephrine and tranexamic acid in knee replacement surgery
This study tests if using epinephrine and tranexamic acid together helps reduce bleeding and improve outcomes during knee replacement surgery. It may be a good fit if you are planning to have knee replacement and do not have certain medical conditions or allergies to these medicines.
Riyadh, Riyadh RegionAges 18–70 - NCT07178951Recruiting
Ultrasound-guided nerve treatment for knee osteoarthritis pain
This trial tests a non-surgical treatment that uses ultrasound to target nerves causing pain on the inner side of your knee due to osteoarthritis. It may help reduce pain and improve function for people with moderate to severe knee pain.
North York, OntarioAges 18 years+ - NCT07198750Recruiting
Pulsed magnetic field therapy for knee osteoarthritis in older adults
This trial tests two types of high-intensity pulsed electromagnetic field therapy (one using two modes, another using one mode) to see if they can reduce pain and improve function in older adults with knee osteoarthritis. You would attend 9 treatment sessions and do exercises at home.
Guadalajara, JaliscoAges 60 years+ - NCT07212699Recruiting
Knee osteoarthritis app-based outcome score study
This trial uses a smartphone app to track symptoms in people with knee osteoarthritis or a knee replacement. The goal is to develop a better way to measure how patients are doing.
Munich, BavariaAges 18 years+ - NCT07224958Recruiting
Knee brace for inner knee arthritis: a study
This study tests whether wearing a special knee brace for at least 4 hours a day can help reduce pain and improve function in people with arthritis in the inner part of the knee. It compares wearing a brace to not wearing one, so you could help find out if braces are a good option for managing knee pain.
Chicago, IllinoisAges 40–85 - NCT07465484Recruiting
Total knee replacement for bow-leg deformity
This study looks at how well total knee replacement works for people who have severe knee arthritis and a bow-leg (varus) deformity. It may help you if you have a lot of knee pain and are considering surgery.
MoscowAges 18 years+ - NCT07511842Recruiting
