Hyaluronic acid injection for knee osteoarthritis
Treatments studied
Part of Bones, joints & muscles clinical trials.
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.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You have been diagnosed with knee osteoarthritis by a doctor.
- You have had knee pain for more than 3 months that hasn't gotten better with standard treatments like physical therapy or pain medicine.
- You are between 45 and 75 years old.
- Your knee X-rays show moderate osteoarthritis (grade 2 or 3 on a scale of 1 to 4).
- You do not have other serious health conditions (like severe heart or kidney disease, uncontrolled diabetes, or cancer), a bleeding disorder, an active infection, or a history of knee injury or joint replacement in the last year.

This study tests whether a single injection of hyaluronic acid (a gel-like substance that helps lubricate the joint) can safely reduce knee pain from osteoarthritis. It is for people with knee pain that has lasted at least 4 weeks and who are willing to stop other pain medications during the study.
This study tests if injecting Botox and hyaluronic acid into the knee joint can reduce pain and improve function in people with advanced knee osteoarthritis. It compares this combination to a standard treatment.
This study tests whether a combination of two natural substances—hyaluronic acid (a joint lubricant) and fibrinogen (a blood protein that helps healing)—given as an injection into the knee, can safely reduce pain and improve function in people with knee osteoarthritis. It is for Vietnamese patients who have not recently used certain painkillers or had other knee treatments.
This study compares two treatments—platelet-rich plasma (PRP) and hyaluronic acid (a lubricating injection)—for people with severe knee arthritis seen on MRI. The goal is to see which better reduces pain.
This study tests whether adding platelet-rich plasma (PRP) to hyaluronic acid injections improves knee osteoarthritis pain and function better than hyaluronic acid alone. You may be eligible if you have moderate knee osteoarthritis and no other knee problems.
This trial tests whether a combination of platelet-rich plasma (a concentrate from your own blood) and hyaluronic acid (a joint lubricant) helps reduce pain and improve function in people with knee arthritis. You may be eligible if you have moderate knee pain but your other knee is relatively pain-free.
