Autologous bone and fat injections versus saline for knee OA
Part of Bones, joints & muscles, Pain clinical trials.
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.

This study tests a treatment made from your own body's healing components to reduce knee pain. It may help people with mild to moderate knee osteoarthritis who haven't had knee surgery or strong pain relievers lately.
This study tests a treatment made from your own bone marrow to see if it can reduce knee pain from osteoarthritis. If you've had knee pain for at least 3 months that hasn't improved with other treatments, this might be an option for you.
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.
This study compares two knee injection treatments for knee osteoarthritis. It aims to see which one works better for reducing pain and improving function, so you might experience less knee pain and better mobility.
This study compares three types of knee injections for knee arthritis to see which gives the best pain relief: platelet-rich plasma (PRP) made from your own blood, a special fat-derived cell treatment (MFAT), or a combination. If you have persistent knee pain, this could help you find a treatment that works better than standard options.
This trial tests whether two natural treatments—one made from your own blood (platelet-rich plasma) and one from your own fat cells—can relieve knee osteoarthritis pain when injected into the knee. The goal is to see if these injections reduce pain and improve knee function without surgery.
