Recruiting studies
- 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+ - 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+ - 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+ - 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+ - NCT07696650Recruiting
Choose to Move Replacement Ready study
This study looks at a program called Choose to Move Replacement Ready (CTM-RR) for older adults and the people who help them get active. It tests how well the program works for activity coaches, participants, and healthcare referral partners.
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+ - NCT07589127Recruiting
Nerve Block for Pain Relief During Knee Replacement
This study tests whether blocking a specific nerve in the knee can reduce pain and improve recovery after total knee replacement surgery. You would receive this nerve block alongside standard anesthesia to see if it helps you need fewer pain medications afterward.
Hjelset, Møre og RomsdalAges 18–80 - NCT07065591RecruitingEarly Phase 1
Metformin, Exercise, and Diet for Knee Osteoarthritis
This trial tests whether a common diabetes drug (metformin) combined with exercise and a healthy diet can help people with knee osteoarthritis who are overweight.
Hong Kong, Sandy BayAges 40–80 - NCT07522489Recruiting
New knee replacement surgery guidance methods compared
This study compares two ways doctors use computer guidance during robotic knee replacement surgery for severe knee arthritis. The trial tests whether both methods work equally well or if one is better for patient recovery and results.
Warsaw, MazovianAges 18 years+ - NCT07664371Recruiting
Cold therapy versus heat therapy for knee arthritis pain
This study compares two minimally invasive treatments for knee pain caused by arthritis when other treatments haven't worked. One uses cold (cryoneurolysis) and the other uses heat (radiofrequency) to calm nerves and reduce pain.
TantaAges 18 years+ - NCT06884865RecruitingPhase 2
Study of an experimental knee injection for osteoarthritis pain
This study tests a new investigational medicine injected into the knee to see if it is safe and tolerable for people with painful knee osteoarthritis. It may help reduce pain and improve knee function.
Birmingham, AlabamaAges 45–80 - 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 - NCT07153471RecruitingPhase 3
A study of an experimental pill for weight loss and knee arthritis
This trial tests an investigational medication (orforglipron) to see if it helps people with knee arthritis lose weight. You may qualify if you have overweight or obesity and have tried dieting before without lasting success.
Phoenix, ArizonaAges 18 years+ - NCT07351968RecruitingPhase 1
Study of HRS-2129 for knee osteoarthritis pain
This trial tests an investigational drug, HRS-2129, for people with knee osteoarthritis who have moderate to severe pain. It aims to see if the drug is safe and effective at reducing pain.
Nanjing, JiangsuAges 18–80 - NCT07731737Recruiting
Biofeedback vs foam roller for knee osteoarthritis
This trial compares two non-surgical therapies—pressure biofeedback and foam rolling—to see which better reduces pain, improves muscle function, and boosts quality of life in people with early-stage knee osteoarthritis.
LahoreAges 45–65 - NCT07537153Recruiting
Blocking Blood Vessels to Reduce Knee Arthritis Pain
This trial tests a procedure called genicular artery embolization, which blocks small blood vessels around the knee to reduce pain from moderate arthritis. It may help people whose knee pain hasn't improved with medications.
Chicago, IllinoisAges 40–80 - NCT06809998RecruitingPhase 1/Phase 2
Steroid injection in non-surgical knee before knee replacement
This study tests whether a single steroid injection in the healthy knee (the one not being replaced) can reduce pain and improve recovery after total knee replacement. It may help people who have arthritis in both knees but are only having one replaced now.
Toronto, OntarioAges 18 years+ - NCT04992624RecruitingPhase 2
Cannabinoid treatment effects on knee pain and nerve signals
This Phase 2 study tests whether a cannabinoid-related treatment changes how pain works in people with knee osteoarthritis. It uses questionnaires, MRI, and gentle nerve testing to understand if treatment helps pain and pain-related signals.
Ann Arbor, MichiganAges 21–75 - NCT05378815Recruiting
Platelet injections for knee arthritis pain
This study tests whether platelet-rich plasma (a treatment made from your own blood) can reduce symptoms of knee osteoarthritis. It focuses on people with specific types of knee pain and X-ray findings, and compares against rules around current pain medicines and injections.
Créteil, Val-De-MarneAges 40–79 - NCT05495334Recruiting
Add knee osteoarthritis outcomes to a patient registry
This study tests a new way to collect how people with knee osteoarthritis feel and function after usual care (like injections, nerve-blocking procedures, or knee replacement). It may help improve future treatment decisions by using your regular follow-up reports in an app or online.
Phoenix, ArizonaAges Any age - NCT05839535RecruitingPhase 2
Baduanjin plus brain stimulation for knee osteoarthritis pain
This Phase 2 study tests whether combining Baduanjin (a guided mind-body movement) with neuromodulation can improve knee osteoarthritis symptoms and function. It compares education-based stretching/control and uses MRI scanning as part of the research.
Charlestown, MassachusettsAges 45–75 - NCT05906433RecruitingPhase 1
Best type of numbing medicine for knee steroid shots
This early (Phase 1) study looks at which anesthetic (numbing medicine) works best and is safest during steroid injections for knee osteoarthritis. It may help improve comfort and effectiveness of these common pain-relief shots.
Tampa, FloridaAges 18 years+ - NCT06040957Recruiting
Bone marrow vs fat cells for knee osteoarthritis treatment
This trial compares using cells from your bone marrow or belly fat to treat knee osteoarthritis, aiming to reduce pain and improve function. It's for people who haven't gotten better with standard treatments like physical therapy or medications.
BolognaAges 40–75 - NCT06084949Recruiting
Exercise for knee osteoarthritis relief
This trial tests if a structured exercise program can reduce pain and improve daily activities for people with knee osteoarthritis. If you have knee pain and trouble with daily tasks, this study may help you find a low-cost, non-drug way to feel better.
