Stem cell injection for knee osteoarthritis
Treatments studied
Part of Bones, joints & muscles clinical trials.
This study tests a new treatment made from umbilical cord cells (stem cells) that are injected into the knee. It aims to see if this injection can safely reduce pain and improve function for people with knee osteoarthritis.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.

- You are 18 or older with knee osteoarthritis confirmed by X-ray.
- You have had knee pain for at least 3 months and can walk.
- Your knee pain must be at least moderate (around 7 on a 24-point scale).

This Phase 2 study tests whether stem cell injections can reduce pain and improve symptoms in people with knee or hip osteoarthritis. You may be considered if you have moderate-to-severe pain despite trying standard treatments.
This study tests a new stem cell treatment for knee osteoarthritis. It aims to see if injecting these cells into the knee can reduce pain and improve function compared to other treatments.
This trial tests a new treatment using donor stem cells injected into the knee for people with moderate knee osteoarthritis. It aims to see if these cells can reduce pain and improve function.
This Phase 2 study tests whether injected umbilical-cord stem cells can improve safety and reduce symptoms in people with moderate knee osteoarthritis. It focuses on people with significant knee pain who have not gotten enough relief from standard, non-procedure treatments.
This study tests a new stem cell treatment injected into the knee to see if it can reduce pain and improve function in people with knee osteoarthritis. It may be an option for those who have had persistent knee pain for more than six months.
This study tests whether special stem cells (called UC-MSCs, derived from umbilical cord tissue) can reduce pain and improve function in people with moderate knee osteoarthritis. Researchers will inject these cells into your knee to see if they help repair damaged cartilage and reduce inflammation.
