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.

This trial tests a new treatment for knee osteoarthritis using a concentrated sample of your own bone marrow cells. It compares this to a standard treatment to see if it helps reduce pain and improve function.
This study tests if a special concentrate made from your own bone marrow can help reduce pain from knee osteoarthritis. You may qualify if you have moderate to severe knee arthritis and haven't found relief from standard treatments.
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.
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 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 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.
