Injections for knee ligament pain in arthritis
Part of Bones, joints & muscles clinical trials.
This trial tests three types of injections (saline, sugar water, or a ligament repair agent) for people with knee arthritis and a partially injured inner knee ligament. It aims to see which injection works best for pain and function.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.

This study tests whether a hyaluronic acid injection (a natural lubricant for joints) can reduce inflammation markers in the knee for people with osteoarthritis. It may be a good option if you have moderate knee pain that hasn't improved with other treatments.
This study compares three different injection treatments for knee osteoarthritis: a steroid (cortisone), dextrose prolotherapy (sugar water), and platelet-rich plasma (using your own blood). The goal is to see which works best for long-term pain relief and joint function.
This trial compares two ways to give dextrose injections for knee osteoarthritis: one into the joint space and one guided by MRI into the tissues around the knee. It aims to see which approach works better for pain and function.
This trial tests whether injecting a sugar-water solution around the nerves of the knee can reduce chronic pain from osteoarthritis. It is for people with long-term knee pain, stiffness, and cracking who have not had recent knee treatments or surgery.
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 study tests whether platelet-rich plasma (a treatment made from your own blood) can reduce symptoms of knee osteoarthritis. It focuses on people with specific types of knee pain and X-ray findings, and compares against rules around current pain medicines and injections.
