Pulsed magnetic therapy for knee pain from meniscus wear
Part of Pain clinical trials.
This study tests a treatment called pulsed electromagnetic field therapy (using magnetic pulses to help knee tissue heal) for people with knee pain from a worn meniscus. It aims to see if this therapy can reduce pain and improve knee function.
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 shows wear and tear (degeneration) of the meniscus in your knee
- You are able to follow instructions and take part in rehabilitation
- You have not had physical therapy or injections for your knee in the last 6 months
- You have not had a recent knee injury, surgery, or fracture, and you have no serious health conditions like a pacemaker or bleeding disorder

This trial tests a new magnetic therapy to reduce pain and inflammation in conditions like arthritis or injuries. It may help if standard medications have not worked well enough for you.
This trial tests whether pulsed electromagnetic field (PEMF) therapy—a non-invasive device placed on the knee—can help heal a torn meniscus and relieve pain and improve knee function when used with exercise therapy. It may be an option if you want to avoid surgery.
This study tests whether pulsed electromagnetic field therapy (a non-invasive treatment using magnetic pulses) can improve muscle strength and function in people with severe knee osteoarthritis who are waiting for knee replacement surgery. It may help you feel stronger and move better before your operation.
This trial tests a non-invasive magnetic therapy to reduce knee pain and improve function in people with patellofemoral pain syndrome (pain around the knee cap). It may help if you've had knee pain for at least 3 months.
This study tests whether pulsed electromagnetic field therapy can reduce pain and inflammation in people with knee osteoarthritis. It may help if you have mild to moderate knee pain and signs of inflammation seen on an MRI.
This trial tests two types of high-intensity pulsed electromagnetic field therapy (one using two modes, another using one mode) to see if they can reduce pain and improve function in older adults with knee osteoarthritis. You would attend 9 treatment sessions and do exercises at home.
