Studying stem cells for rheumatoid arthritis knee pain
Part of Bones, joints & muscles, Immune system & allergy, Skin clinical trials.
This trial tests if stem cells can improve pain and swelling in the knee for people with rheumatoid arthritis that hasn't responded well to standard treatments. It's for those who still have significant knee symptoms despite taking medications.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.

This trial tests if a device that uses ultrasound waves, used at home, can help treat rheumatoid arthritis (RA). It is for people with moderate to severe RA who still have symptoms despite taking standard medications.
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 study tests a new stem cell treatment for knee osteoarthritis. It aims to see if injecting these cells into the knee can reduce pain and improve function compared to other treatments.
This trial tests a new stem cell treatment (UC-MSCs) for knee osteoarthritis. It aims to see if this treatment is safe and can help reduce pain and improve knee function.
This study tests whether special stem cells (called UC-MSCs, derived from umbilical cord tissue) can reduce pain and improve function in people with moderate knee osteoarthritis. Researchers will inject these cells into your knee to see if they help repair damaged cartilage and reduce inflammation.
This trial studies whether stem cells made from your own body fat can reduce symptoms of rheumatoid arthritis. Because it uses your own cells, the goal is to see if the treatment is safe and can help with active, hard-to-control disease.
