Recruiting studies in California
- NCT04716803Recruiting
BMAC injection for severe knee osteoarthritis before knee surgery
This trial studies injecting “bone marrow aspirate concentrate” (BMAC) into the knee to help relieve pain from severe knee osteoarthritis. It’s for people who have strong signs of advanced arthritis on X-ray and still have ongoing pain despite usual treatments, before a planned knee procedure.
La Jolla, CaliforniaAges 45–75 - NCT06118892Recruiting
Knee implant study for inner knee pain from arthritis
This trial is testing a new knee implant designed to relieve pain on the inner side of the knee caused by osteoarthritis. It is for people who have not gotten enough relief from other treatments like physical therapy or injections.
Sonoma, CaliforniaAges 25–65 - NCT04238143Recruiting
Knee and other joint arthritis tissue therapy
This trial tests a regenerative therapy made from a patient’s own fat tissue (a “cellular” treatment) to reduce pain and improve function in arthritis-related problems. It may help people with inflammatory or degenerative arthritis changes, if they meet safety and tissue-donation requirements.
Valencia, CaliforniaAges 18–90 - 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.

What taking part in a osteo arthritis knee study involves
A screening visit first
Before anything else, the study team checks whether you fit — usually a visit with some tests. You can stop at any point, and screening is typically free.
Care at a nearby site
Study visits happen at a clinic or hospital taking part. Many studies cover the cost of the study treatment and related visits, and some reimburse travel.
You stay in control
Taking part is voluntary and you can leave a study at any time, for any reason, without affecting your regular care.
The team decides eligibility
Our fit check is a helpful first read, not a decision. The study team makes the final call after reviewing your health history.
