Comparing knee function in people with similar knee arthritis pain
This study looks at how knee osteoarthritis (a common condition where the cushioning in the knee joint wears down) affects physical function, even when people report similar levels of pain. It aims to understand why some people with the same pain might have more difficulty with daily activities, which could lead to better targeted treatments.
MardinAges 40–75 - NCT07855367Recruiting
Knee pain relief study for osteoarthritis patients
This study compares two procedures that use extreme cold or heat to target the nerves around the knee, with the goal of reducing pain from knee osteoarthritis. It is specifically for people with advanced knee osteoarthritis who also have bladder cancer.
CairoAges 40 years+ - NCT03491761RecruitingPhase 2
PRP injection versus hyaluronic acid shots for knee arthritis

Skokie, IllinoisAges 18–75 - NCT07853170Recruiting
Comparing 3 vs 5-needle knee nerve blocks for arthritis pain
This study compares two ways of numbing the nerves around the knee to see which gives better pain relief and improves quality of life for people with knee osteoarthritis. It might help you decide if a nerve block is a good option for your knee pain.
Tanta, El-GharbiaAges 18 years+ - NCT07843784Enrolling by invitation

This trial tests a chatbot program to help people manage knee osteoarthritis pain. You’d use your smartphone to get support and exercises at home, which might help reduce pain and improve daily life.
Hong Kong, Hong KongAges 18 years+ - NCT06463847RecruitingPhase 1
Stem cell therapy for knee osteoarthritis
This trial tests a new stem cell treatment (UC-MSCs) for knee osteoarthritis. It aims to see if this treatment is safe and can help reduce pain and improve knee function.
Wuhan, HubeiAges 50–70 - NCT07813078Recruiting
Walking on an anti-gravity treadmill for knee osteoarthritis
This study tests whether walking on a special treadmill that reduces the weight on your knees can help with knee pain and function. If you have knee osteoarthritis, this type of training might be an effective way to exercise without causing more joint stress.
Sanok, Podkarpackie VoivodeshipAges 40–70 - NCT07804446Recruiting
Knee injection: comparing two needle angles for knee arthritis pain
This study compares two ways of giving a knee steroid injection to see which works better for pain and function in people with medial knee arthritis. You will get the injection as part of your normal care.
Bolingbrook, IllinoisAges 40 years+ - NCT07789340Recruiting
Radiofrequency treatment for knee osteoarthritis pain
This study compares two types of radiofrequency treatment to reduce knee pain from osteoarthritis. It may help people whose knee pain has not improved with other treatments like physical therapy or injections.
Tanta, El-GharbiaAges 50 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+ - NCT07785401Recruiting
Platelet-rich plasma plus hyaluronic acid for knee osteoarthritis
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+ - NCT06608134RecruitingEarly Phase 1
Umbilical cord injection for knee osteoarthritis pain
This trial tests whether a special injection made from umbilical cord tissue can safely help with knee osteoarthritis pain. If you have moderate knee arthritis and haven't had recent injections or surgery, you may be able to join.
Scottsdale, ArizonaAges 30 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 - NCT07731737Recruiting
