Bone marrow vs fat cells for knee osteoarthritis treatment
Treatments studied
Part of Bones, joints & muscles clinical trials.
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.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You have knee osteoarthritis in one knee with pain or swelling for at least 6 months.

This study tests a treatment for knee arthritis using cells from your own bone marrow. It aims to see if this treatment can relieve pain and improve function in people with arthritis in both knees.
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 study uses fat tissue from your own body, processed with a special device, and injects it into the knee to help reduce pain and improve function in knee osteoarthritis. It's a minimally invasive treatment that might be an option for people who have not found relief from other treatments.
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 an injection of your own blood cells to treat knee osteoarthritis pain. It aims to see if this injection can reduce pain and improve knee function better than standard care.
