Magnetic field therapy for knee meniscus pain
Part of Pain clinical trials.
This study tests whether a gentle, non-invasive magnetic field device applied to the knee can help people with worn meniscus cartilage. It compares the magnetic therapy to a placebo (inactive) treatment to see if it reduces pain and improves movement.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You have had knee pain for at least 2 months.
- An MRI has shown that the cushioning cartilage in your knee (the meniscus) is worn down.
- You are able to follow instructions and cooperate with the treatment.
- You have not had knee surgery, a fracture, or trauma to your leg in the last 6 months.
- You have not had physical therapy or a knee injection in the last 6 months.

This trial compares different treatments for knee osteoarthritis caused by a tear where the medial meniscus (the inner cushion of your knee) attaches to the bone. It aims to find the best approach to relieve pain and improve function in people with early to moderate arthritis.
This study compares two types of training to help people with knee meniscus tears. One type focuses on single tasks, the other on doing two things at once. It aims to see which is more effective for your knee recovery.
This trial tests whether a steroid injection guided by ultrasound can reduce knee pain caused by a degenerative meniscus tear. It may help if you have ongoing knee pain that hasn't improved with pain relievers.
This trial tests whether wearing a pulsed electromagnetic field (PEMF) device on your knee for 8 weeks, along with exercises, can help heal a meniscal tear, reduce pain, and improve knee function. It is for people with a non-displaced tear in a healable zone of the meniscus.
This trial tests whether magnetic fields applied to your back can relieve chronic lower back pain that has lasted at least 12 weeks. It's for people aged 18 to 64 who are willing to attend all study visits.
