Sugar water injections for chronic knee arthritis pain
This trial tests whether injecting a sugar-water solution around the nerves of the knee can reduce chronic pain from osteoarthritis. It is for people with long-term knee pain, stiffness, and cracking who have not had recent knee treatments or surgery.
Athens, AtticaAges 38 years+ - NCT05917028Recruiting
Nonsurgical injections to reduce knee osteoarthritis pain
This study tests a procedure called transcatheter arterial micro-embolization (a targeted injection done through blood vessels) to lessen pain from knee osteoarthritis. It may help people who still have significant pain despite standard “non-surgical” treatments like therapy and joint injections.
Seoul, Seodaemun-guAges 50 years+ - NCT07238751Recruiting
Bowen technique and backward walking for knee osteoarthritis
This study tests whether the Bowen technique (a gentle hands-on therapy) combined with walking backward can improve hamstring flexibility and reduce pain in people with knee osteoarthritis. It may help if you have tight hamstrings and mild to moderate knee arthritis.
Islamabad, Punjab ProvinceAges 40–60 - NCT07226388Enrolling by invitation
Pyrocarbon hemiarthroplasty vs total shoulder replacement for osteoarthritis
This study compares two types of shoulder replacement surgery for people with osteoarthritis: one that replaces only the ball of the joint (hemiarthroplasty with a pyrocarbon ball) and one that replaces both the ball and socket (total shoulder arthroplasty). The goal is to see which option works better for people with this condition.
St Louis, MissouriAges 40–65 - NCT07226258RecruitingPhase 3
Testing SL1002 for knee pain caused by osteoarthritis

Common questions
- Are there clinical trials for osteoarthritis?
- Yes. Clin2 currently lists 592 recruiting osteoarthritis 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 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 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.
