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
- Both knees hurt at a level of 4 or higher on a 0-10 pain scale
- 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 tests a new way to treat knee osteoarthritis using a patient's own fat tissue. The fat is processed with a special device and then injected into the knee to see if it helps reduce pain and improve joint function.
This study tests whether a special injection of fat cells (MFAT) mixed with platelet-rich plasma (PRP) works better than either treatment alone for knee arthritis. It's for people with moderate to severe knee pain that hasn't improved with other treatments.
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.
