Calf muscle release for women with knee arthritis
Part of Bones, joints & muscles clinical trials.
This trial tests whether releasing tight calf muscles can help women with knee osteoarthritis feel less pain. It focuses on women who have moderate knee arthritis and a tight spot in their calf muscle.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.

This study tests two hands-on therapies: reflexology (gentle pressure on your feet) and a type of joint mobilization called Mulligan. These may help reduce knee pain and improve movement in people with mild to moderate knee osteoarthritis.
This trial studies changes in joint fluid before and after a procedure called genicular artery embolization (GAE) for knee osteoarthritis. It aims to understand how the procedure works to reduce pain and improve knee function.
This study tracks patients with knee arthritis who undergo a procedure called genicular artery embolization (GAE), a minimally invasive option for those not ready for or not eligible for knee replacement. The goal is to see how well GAE works for pain relief.
This study compares two types of physical therapy exercises for knee osteoarthritis: one focuses on relaxing specific muscles around the knee (the iliotibial band and pes anserine), and the other focuses on balance and body awareness (proprioception). Both may help reduce pain and improve knee function.
This trial tests a new procedure called genicular artery embolization to treat knee pain from osteoarthritis. If you have moderate to severe knee pain and are not a candidate for knee replacement or other surgery, this treatment may help reduce pain and improve function.
This trial tests a minimally invasive nerve-stimulation treatment for moderate to severe knee osteoarthritis pain in adults who have not found relief with standard treatments. The procedure uses small needles to deliver electrical stimulation near nerves to reduce pain.
