Recruiting studies
- NCT07556003Recruiting
Physical Therapy After Knee Replacement Surgery
This study tests whether a physical therapy program helps improve walking ability and foot pressure patterns in women who have had knee replacement surgery or have knee problems. The goal is to see if structured rehabilitation helps you walk better and more comfortably.
SakakahAges 40–70 - NCT07577869Recruiting

Brain Function Changes After Same-Day Hip or Knee Surgery
This study checks whether patients who have hip or knee replacement surgery and go home the same day experience any temporary changes in thinking or memory. Researchers want to understand how anesthesia and surgery affect the brain in the short term.
SvendborgAges 70 years+ - NCT07630337Recruiting
Cryotherapy to reduce pain medication after knee replacement
This study tests whether applying cold therapy (cryotherapy) after knee replacement surgery helps patients need fewer opioid pain medications than standard care alone. If cryotherapy works, it could help you manage pain more safely after surgery.
Buenos Aires, Buenos AiresAges 18 years+ - NCT07653841Recruiting
Balance vs. strength training for knee osteoarthritis
This study compares two types of exercise programs (a balance-focused training and a progressive strengthening program) added to usual physical therapy. The goal is to see which works better for reducing knee pain and improving daily function in people with knee osteoarthritis.
Islamabad, ICTAges 40–70 - NCT07318116Enrolling by invitation
Cabbage Leaf for Knee Osteoarthritis Pain
This study tests whether applying cabbage leaves to the knee can reduce pain in people with knee osteoarthritis. If you have had knee pain for at least 6 months and are not allergic to cabbage, you may be able to join.
Şirnak, MerkezAges 18–80 - NCT07246109Enrolling by invitation
Knee Brace and Muscle Training for Osteoarthritis
This study tests whether wearing a knee brace and doing muscle training exercises can help people with knee osteoarthritis feel better and move more easily. It may be a good option if you have not had knee surgery and are not already in another treatment program.
TaichungAges 55 years+ - NCT06916728Enrolling by invitation
10-year knee implant follow-up study
This study follows patients who already took part in a previous trial for a knee implant (MP01). It checks how well the implant is working over 10 years compared to standard knee surgery.
La Mesa, CaliforniaAges 21–75 - NCT06670651Enrolling by invitation
Study of a new total knee replacement system
This trial is testing a new knee replacement system called LinkSymphoKnee. It is for people needing a first-time total knee replacement to help reduce pain and improve function.
Birmingham, AlabamaAges 18–79 - NCT03681977Enrolling by invitation
Compare two knee replacement systems for osteoarthritis outcomes
This study compares results from two specific knee replacement systems for people with knee osteoarthritis. It may help find which device works better for pain and function after knee replacement surgery.
Montreal, PQAges 18–80 - NCT07793266RecruitingPhase 1
Seeing the knee better with dye during arthroscopy
This study tests whether a special dye helps doctors see knee structures better during knee arthroscopy (a minimally invasive surgery to look inside the knee). It may improve the accuracy of the procedure.
Detroit, MichiganAges 14–89 - NCT07339111RecruitingPhase 3
CARTISTEM vs surgery for knee cartilage damage and osteoarthritis
This trial tests if a cell-based treatment called CARTISTEM can repair knee cartilage better than surgery alone. It involves people with knee osteoarthritis and a cartilage defect, with moderate pain and limited function.
Birmingham, AlabamaAges 18–75 - 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+ - NCT07308834RecruitingPhase 1/Phase 2
Knee injection study for moderate to severe osteoarthritis pain
This study tests a new knee injection called CX-011 to see if it can reduce pain and improve function in people with knee osteoarthritis. It may be a good option if you have tried other treatments without enough relief.
Los Angeles, CaliforniaAges 40–75 - NCT05517434RecruitingPhase 2/Phase 3
Autologous bone and fat injections versus saline for knee OA
This trial compares different knee injections made from your own bone marrow and/or fat, plus platelet-rich plasma (a blood-derived healing factor), against saline (placebo) to treat painful knee osteoarthritis. It aims to see whether these “autologous” injections reduce knee pain and improve function.
Toronto, OntarioAges 30 years+ - NCT07212920Recruiting
Video physiotherapy for recent knee injuries
This study tests whether a video-based physiotherapy assessment works as well as an in-person exam for people with recent knee injuries. If you have a knee injury that started 1 to 12 weeks ago and haven't been treated yet, you may be able to participate from home using your phone or computer.
AlingsåsAges 18 years+ - NCT07784998Recruiting
Weight-bearing physiotherapy for knee osteoarthritis
This study compares how men and women respond to a special type of physiotherapy that uses gradual weight-bearing exercises to reduce knee pain and improve function. It may help you if you have moderate knee osteoarthritis and are looking for a non-surgical treatment option.
Gujar Khan, Punjab ProvinceAges 40–60 - NCT07226258RecruitingPhase 3
Testing SL1002 for knee pain caused by osteoarthritis
This trial tests a study drug called SL1002 to see if it reduces knee pain from osteoarthritis. It may be an option for people with chronic knee pain who haven't found enough relief from current treatments.
Roseville, CaliforniaAges 40 years+ - NCT07471243Recruiting
Dressing and wound care experiences after hip or knee replacement
This study looks at how people care for their surgical wounds and dressings after hip or knee replacement surgery. It aims to learn what helps patients feel more comfortable and confident in their recovery.
Bournemouth, DorsetAges 18 years+ - NCT07696650Recruiting
Choose to Move Replacement Ready study

Vancouver, British ColumbiaAges 50 years+ - NCT07775248RecruitingPhase 4
Long-lasting pain relief after knee replacement
This trial tests a new type of pain medicine that is given during knee replacement surgery and slowly releases pain relief over several days. It may help reduce the need for opioid painkillers after surgery.
Grosse Pointe Farms, MichiganAges 18 years+ - NCT07511985Recruiting
Managing Pain After Knee Replacement Surgery
This study looks at how "rebound pain" (increased pain when pain medication wears off) affects long-term pain after total knee replacement. Researchers want to understand this connection and potentially improve pain management strategies for knee surgery patients.
Konya, MeramAges 18 years+ - NCT07383740Recruiting
Reliability of a gentle bike test for hip or knee osteoarthritis
This study checks whether a simple, low-effort bike test gives consistent results for people with hip or knee osteoarthritis. It helps doctors understand how well this test can measure your fitness without pushing you too hard.
GothenburgAges 30 years+ - NCT07473232Recruiting
Comparing platelet-rich plasma and cytokine-rich serum injections for knee osteoarthritis
