Understanding knee pain and function
Part of Bones, joints & muscles clinical trials.
This study looks at how your knee joint works when you have pain or limited function. It uses MRI and electrical stimulation to learn more about cartilage and meniscus damage, which might help improve future treatments.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You have knee pain or trouble using your knee normally.
- Your knee arthritis is mild to moderate (grade 2 or less on the Kellgren-Lawrence scale).
- You have cartilage damage seen during a knee scope (arthroscopy).
- You have signs of cartilage, meniscus, or bone marrow changes in your knee.

This study tests how well and how safely a knee treatment works for adults with painful knee osteoarthritis seen on X-ray. You might join if you need meaningful pain relief and help with daily function, and can complete required scans and study instructions.
This trial tests if learning about chronic pain can help people with knee osteoarthritis feel better. You'll join a program that teaches you about pain and how to manage it.
This study uses computer models and MRI scans to predict how knee cartilage and pain may change over time in people with early osteoarthritis or a recent ACL tear. It aims to find better ways to manage these conditions and prevent long-term damage.
This study looks at how knee osteoarthritis (a common condition where the cushioning in the knee joint wears down) affects physical function, even when people report similar levels of pain. It aims to understand why some people with the same pain might have more difficulty with daily activities, which could lead to better targeted treatments.
This study looks at knee osteoarthritis to find new ways to treat it. If you have knee pain from worn-down cartilage, this research may lead to better therapies.
This study uses brain scans (MRI) to better understand why some people with knee osteoarthritis feel different types of pain. By understanding these pain patterns, doctors hope to improve treatments and tailor them to each person's needs.
