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 a new treatment using donor stem cells injected into the knee for people with moderate knee osteoarthritis. It aims to see if these cells can reduce pain and improve function.
This early-phase study tests an injection of donor stem cells placed into the knee joint to help reduce symptoms of knee osteoarthritis. You may be eligible if you have long-lasting knee pain from mild-to-moderate arthritis and meet safety and imaging requirements.
This trial tests whether a single injection of a patient's own blood cells can reduce knee pain from osteoarthritis. It is for people who have not found enough relief from standard treatments like painkillers or gel injections.
This study tests a stem cell injection for knee osteoarthritis in patients who previously received a placebo. It aims to see if the treatment is safe and effective over a longer period.
