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 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.
This trial tests a specific exercise program that improves the way your knee muscles work together, which may reduce pain and improve function in people with knee pain (patellofemoral pain). The study focuses on a particular subgroup of people with this condition to see if the treatment works especially well for them.
This study aims to find out if simple physical exam tests can accurately diagnose impingement of the fat pad behind the kneecap. You would get a clinical exam and an MRl to compare the results, so researchers can see which tests best identify the problem.
