Collagen supplement study before and after knee replacement
Part of Bones, joints & muscles clinical trials.
This study tests whether taking collagen peptides can improve how knee tissues heal and remodel after total knee arthroplasty (knee replacement). It also looks at functional recovery and wound healing, especially during the physical therapy period in Little Rock.

This trial tests whether a hydrolyzed collagen drink or supplement can reduce knee pain and symptoms compared with a placebo (inactive treatment) in people with osteoarthritis. It may help if you’ve tried standard non-surgical treatments and still have ongoing knee trouble.
This trial tests a powder called SURGICEL® that may help control bleeding during knee replacement surgery. People with severe knee arthritis who are having their first knee replacement may be able to join.
This study compares a new plastic-and-metal knee implant to a standard metal one for people with severe knee arthritis. If you need a total knee replacement and your knee is not too bent or twisted, you may be a candidate.
This trial tests whether taking tranexamic acid (a medicine that helps blood clot) for several days after knee replacement surgery reduces bleeding and improves recovery. It may help patients who have a standard knee replacement and are not on blood thinners.
This trial tests whether a supplement made from agar and collagen can help reduce knee pain in people with mild to moderate osteoarthritis. If you are between 40 and 70 and have knee pain, this may be an option for you.
This trial tests whether a daily collagen supplement (NT-II™) can reduce knee discomfort during activities like walking or climbing stairs. You may qualify if you have mild to moderate knee pain during exercise, no arthritis, and are generally healthy.
