Shockwave treatment for knee arthritis pain with MRI-confirmed lesions
Part of Bones, joints & muscles clinical trials.
This trial tests whether focused shockwave therapy (a non-surgical treatment) can reduce knee arthritis pain. It specifically targets people whose MRI shows a small bone problem in one area of the knee.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You’re between 30 and 80 years old
- Your knee X-ray shows arthritis in the mild-to-severe range (grade 2 to 4)
- Your MRI shows a knee bone marrow lesion (BML) in a weight-bearing spot on ONE side of the knee
- Your knee pain has lasted more than 2 months and is at least 4/10 over the past week
- You tried at least 4 weeks of usual treatments (like rest and pain medicines) but still didn’t get enough relief
- Your pain is mainly in the same knee compartment as the MRI finding

This trial tests whether shockwave therapy can reduce muscle tightness in the elbow and wrist caused by spinal cord injury. It may help make daily tasks like dressing or bathing easier.
This trial tests if shock wave treatment can reduce knee pain from osteoarthritis. It may help people with moderate knee arthritis who haven't had recent physical therapy or joint injections.
This study tests whether focused shockwave treatment can reduce knee pain in people who have had ACL (anterior cruciate ligament) reconstruction surgery. Shockwave therapy uses sound waves to reduce pain and inflammation.
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.
This study compares two treatments for chronic knee osteoarthritis: shock wave therapy and traditional physical therapy. The goal is to see which one helps reduce pain and improve function better.
This study compares a treatment called shockwave therapy (using sound waves to relieve pain) with standard physical therapy for people with mild to moderate knee osteoarthritis. It aims to see if shockwave therapy alone can improve symptoms as well as or better than physical therapy.
