Knee pain study using weight-bearing CT scans
Part of Bones, joints & muscles clinical trials.
This trial uses a special CT scan taken while you stand to see how the shape of your knee joint relates to your knee pain. It may help researchers better understand knee arthritis and front-of-knee pain.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.

- Age 18 or older
- Have knee pain: either pain only in the front of the knee or pain anywhere in the knee (including the front)
- Not have both knees replaced with artificial joints
- Not be pregnant
- Able to stand safely for 2 minutes with support if needed

This research study uses advanced imaging (PET and MRI scans) to better understand osteoarthritis in the front of the knee, where the kneecap meets the thighbone. You'll help researchers learn how to detect and track this condition earlier.
This study looks at proteins in the blood to understand knee health. It is for adults over 50 who do not have knee pain.
This study tests how well and how safely a knee treatment works for adults with painful knee osteoarthritis seen on X-ray. You might join if you need meaningful pain relief and help with daily function, and can complete required scans and study instructions.
This study uses a special weight-bearing CT scan to look at how well the bone around a repaired knee fracture heals after a second surgery. If you’ve had surgery for a broken bone above your knee replacement, this scan might help doctors learn more about your recovery.
This study looks at how changes in knee alignment affect symptoms and joint biology in people with early knee osteoarthritis. It may help doctors understand how to better treat knee OA.
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.
