Light therapy for knee replacement recovery
This trial tests whether a special light therapy (photobiomodulation) can help reduce pain and speed healing after total knee replacement. If you're having knee replacement and don't have complications like infection or open wounds, you may be eligible.
HsinchuAges 20 years+ - NCT06991231Recruiting
Cryoablation benefits in knee replacement surgery
This trial tests if a special cold treatment (cryoablation) can help reduce pain or improve recovery for people getting knee replacement surgery for arthritis. It might offer an extra option to feel better after the procedure.
New York, New YorkAges 18 years+ - NCT07763158Recruiting
Treatment for severe knee pain using artery embolization
This study tests a procedure that blocks tiny arteries in the knee to reduce pain from severe arthritis. It is for people who cannot have knee replacement surgery because of other health issues.
Jeddah, Mecca RegionAges 18 years+ - NCT07324746Recruiting
Herbal supplement for osteoarthritis pain
This trial tests whether a herbal supplement helps people with osteoarthritis of the knee or hip feel less pain and move better. If you have moderate to severe pain and are able to walk, this study might be a good fit.
LondonAges 18 years+ - NCT07721116Recruiting
