Fat tissue vs fat tissue plus gel for knee osteoarthritis
Part of Bones, joints & muscles clinical trials.
This trial compares two injections for knee arthritis: one uses your own fat tissue, the other adds a lubricating gel. Researchers want to see if the combination helps pain and function more than fat tissue alone.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are between 18 and 75 years old
- You have osteoarthritis in both knees with moderate to severe changes on X-ray

- Standard treatments like pain meds, physical therapy, or other injections haven't helped after 6 months
- You are willing to follow the study plan and come for rehab and follow-up visits

This trial compares using cells from your bone marrow or belly fat to treat knee osteoarthritis, aiming to reduce pain and improve function. It's for people who haven't gotten better with standard treatments like physical therapy or medications.
This trial compares two injection treatments—platelet-rich plasma (PRP) and hyaluronic acid (HA)—for pain from osteoarthritis in the kneecap area. It looks to see which injection works better and for whom, using symptom follow-up and imaging.
This study uses fat tissue from your own body, processed with a special device, and injects it into the knee to help reduce pain and improve function in knee osteoarthritis. It's a minimally invasive treatment that might be an option for people who have not found relief from other treatments.
This trial tests whether two natural treatments—one made from your own blood (platelet-rich plasma) and one from your own fat cells—can relieve knee osteoarthritis pain when injected into the knee. The goal is to see if these injections reduce pain and improve knee function without surgery.
This trial compares different knee injections made from your own bone marrow and/or fat, plus platelet-rich plasma (a blood-derived healing factor), against saline (placebo) to treat painful knee osteoarthritis. It aims to see whether these “autologous” injections reduce knee pain and improve function.
This Phase 1 study tests whether a micro-fragmented fat (MFAT) injection can reduce symptoms and improve shoulder function in people with shoulder osteoarthritis. It’s early research, so the goal is mainly to see if the treatment is safe and possibly helpful.
