Knee fat pad pain study for young female athletes
Part of Bones, joints & muscles, Pain clinical trials.
This study tests a treatment for knee fat pad pain in teenage girls who play organized sports. It aims to see if a specific injection helps after physical therapy hasn't worked.

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 following a standard treatment guide helps active-duty service members with kneecap pain feel better. You would receive physical therapy and be monitored for a few weeks.
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 study looks at how knee movement during rehabilitation exercises relates to pain in people with kneecap pain (patellofemoral pain syndrome). It aims to help understand better ways to recover.
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 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.
