Recruiting studies
- NCT05946044Recruiting
Preventing Knee Arthritis in People at Higher Risk
This study looks at ways to help prevent knee osteoarthritis before it starts. It is designed for women with higher body weight who currently have no arthritis signs on scans and do not have much knee pain.
Boston, MassachusettsAges 50 years+ - NCT04875052Recruiting
Study vibration after ACL injury and future arthritis risk
This study looks at whether using vibration after an ACL injury helps predict or reduce the risk of developing post-traumatic osteoarthritis (wear-and-tear arthritis) later. It may help researchers learn which patients are more likely to develop arthritis after ACL reconstruction.
Chapel Hill, North CarolinaAges 16–35 - NCT06686680Recruiting
Shockwave therapy for knee arthritis after ACL repair
This study tests whether shockwave therapy can help knee pain and function in people who developed knee osteoarthritis after an ACL reconstruction. If you had ACL surgery at least a year ago and still have knee pain, this treatment might offer a new option without surgery.
Cambridge, MassachusettsAges 18–55 - NCT05507099RecruitingPhase 2
Stem cell injections for knee or hip osteoarthritis pain
This Phase 2 study tests whether stem cell injections can reduce pain and improve symptoms in people with knee or hip osteoarthritis. You may be considered if you have moderate-to-severe pain despite trying standard treatments.
Brampton, OntarioAges 18–95 - NCT06833749RecruitingPhase 2
Testing KBP-336 for knee osteoarthritis with obesity
This study tests an experimental medicine called KBP-336 for people with both obesity and knee osteoarthritis who still have significant knee pain despite standard treatments. It aims to see if KBP-336 can reduce pain and improve function.
BrnoAges 45 years+ - NCT06906939RecruitingEarly Phase 1
Brain stimulation and tai chi for knee arthritis and depression
This pilot study tests if combining brain stimulation (rTMS) with Tai Chi can help knee arthritis pain and improve depression. It compares these two treatments to see which works better for people with both pain and low mood.
Los Angeles, CaliforniaAges 50–95 - NCT07367126Recruiting
Nerve pain in knee osteoarthritis: Pain and function study
This study looks at nerve-related pain in people with knee osteoarthritis and how it affects their pain level and daily function. It may help understand if nerve pain is a key factor in your knee OA symptoms.
IstanbulAges 40–70 - NCT06090097Recruiting
Game therapy for knee osteoarthritis
This trial tests a game-based therapy that uses biofeedback to help strengthen your knee. It may help you move better and feel less pain.
Chapel Hill, North CarolinaAges 30–75 - NCT07134244Recruiting
Predicting cartilage damage and pain after knee injury or early arthritis
This study uses computer models and MRI scans to predict how knee cartilage and pain may change over time in people with early osteoarthritis or a recent ACL tear. It aims to find better ways to manage these conditions and prevent long-term damage.
Aalborg, North DenmarkAges 18–70 - NCT06701474Recruiting
Knee replacement recovery: comparing body composition groups
This study looks at how well people recover after total knee replacement, comparing those with different body composition levels. The goal is to see if a measure called 'phase angle' affects recovery of strength and function.
Yongin-si, Gyeonggi-doAges 55 years+ - NCT05785884Recruiting
Diet program to help knee osteoarthritis pain
This trial studies whether different diet approaches can reduce knee pain in people with knee osteoarthritis who have certain eating patterns. It may help by changing diet-related factors that can affect inflammation and pain.
Birmingham, AlabamaAges 40–75 - NCT06073106Recruiting
Frailty prevention study for older Asian adults
This trial tests a program to prevent frailty in people aged 50 and older of Asian descent who have recently been diagnosed with a stroke, traumatic brain injury, knee osteoarthritis, or breast cancer. The goal is to help you stay strong and healthy as you recover.
Singapore, SingaporeAges 50 years+ - NCT06532851Recruiting
Exercise therapy for knee cartilage health
This study tests whether specific exercises can improve your knee cartilage health and daily function. It is for people with a meniscus tear who are at risk for knee arthritis but don't have arthritis yet.
Ar RamthaAges 35–55 - NCT07215572Recruiting
Group physical therapy for veterans with knee osteoarthritis
This trial studies whether a group physical therapy program can help veterans with knee osteoarthritis. It aims to see if this approach is practical and effective for improving knee pain and function.
Durham, North CarolinaAges Any age - NCT02993029Recruiting
Fluoride scan–guided treatment for painful knee arthritis
This trial studies a targeted treatment using a fluoride-related injection to help reduce pain from knee osteoarthritis. To join, you need a painful osteoarthritis knee and a specific bone-scan finding (SUV above 10) on an imaging test.
Shanghai, Shanghai MunicipalityAges 40 years+ - NCT06231758RecruitingPhase 3
Metformin for knee osteoarthritis: a phase 3 trial
This study tests whether metformin, a common diabetes medication, can help reduce pain and improve knee function in people with knee osteoarthritis. It may offer a new treatment option for those with moderate knee OA.

Common questions
- Are there clinical trials for osteoarthritis (oa) of the knee?
- Yes. Clin2 currently lists 160 recruiting osteoarthritis (oa) of the knee studies from the U.S. registry, each rewritten for real people, not researchers, so you can see what it’s testing and who it’s for.
- How do I know if I qualify for a osteoarthritis (oa) of the knee trial?
- Each study lists its eligibility criteria — rules about age, diagnosis, and prior treatments. On every Clin2 trial page we explain these in words written for real people and offer a short, optional pre-screen for a fit read. The study team makes the final decision.
- Does it cost anything to join a osteoarthritis (oa) of the knee trial?
- Using Clin2 is always free. Many trials cover the cost of the study treatment and related visits; some reimburse travel. The study team explains exactly what’s covered before you decide.
