Fat tissue treatment for knee osteoarthritis
Treatments studied
Part of Bones, joints & muscles clinical trials.
This study tests a new way to treat knee osteoarthritis using a patient's own fat tissue. The fat is processed with a special device and then injected into the knee to see if it helps reduce pain and improve joint function.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.

- You have had chronic knee pain or symptoms for at least 3 months.
- Your body mass index (BMI) is between 20 and 34.9.

Other trials that look related to this one.
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 trial tests if using your own fat cells (called stromal vascular fraction) can help relieve knee pain from arthritis or cartilage damage. It is a one-time procedure that might repair or cushion your knee joint.
This trial studies a specific knee implant system in people with severe knee arthritis or post-injury knee problems. It looks at whether the implant helps reduce pain and improve knee movement, and whether the device is safe and reliable after surgery.
This trial tests a regenerative therapy made from a patient’s own fat tissue (a “cellular” treatment) to reduce pain and improve function in arthritis-related problems. It may help people with inflammatory or degenerative arthritis changes, if they meet safety and tissue-donation requirements.
This trial compares two injections for knee arthritis: one uses your own fat tissue, the other adds a lubricating gel. Researchers want to see if the combination helps pain and function more than fat tissue alone.
This study tests whether a special injection of fat cells (MFAT) mixed with platelet-rich plasma (PRP) works better than either treatment alone for knee arthritis. It's for people with moderate to severe knee pain that hasn't improved with other treatments.
