Single-center, first-in-human injection of ceAF for knee osteoarthritis
This early-stage study tests a single knee injection of ceAF to see if it is safe and helps reduce pain and improve function in adults with knee osteoarthritis.
-
Radial Shock Wave Therapy for knee bone marrow edema in people with knee OA
A noninvasive shock wave therapy is tested to see if it helps people aged 40–70 with knee osteoarthritis and bone marrow edema.
-
Motivational Interviewing Plus Exercise for knee osteoarthritis
This study tests whether adding motivational interviewing to a neuromuscular and home exercise program helps people with knee osteoarthritis improve pain control and get more active.
-
How patient education helps people with chronic musculoskeletal pain stick to home exercise for pain relief
A structured patient education program is tested to see if it helps people with chronic low back pain, knee osteoarthritis, and shoulder problems stick with their home exercise plan to relieve pain.
-
Eccentric gastrocnemius strengthening vs low-load blood flow restriction training for knee osteoarthritis
This study tests whether eccentric strengthening of the calf muscle or low-load blood flow restriction training can improve strength and function in people with knee osteoarthritis.
-
Pressure Biofeedback vs Bolster Foam Feedback for Knee Osteoarthritis
We’re testing whether pressure biofeedback training helps people with knee osteoarthritis improve pain, function, and muscle activation more than bolster foam feedback over eight weeks.
-
Daily knee sleeve use in older adults with chronic knee pain
This trial tests whether wearing a knee sleeve every day can slow knee OA progression and reduce knee pain and disability over five years in adults aged 50–64 with chronic knee pain.
-
Perturbation-based balance training vs progressive neuromuscular training alongside standard physiotherapy for knee osteoarthritis
This trial tests whether perturbation-based balance training adds benefit over progressive neuromuscular training when used with usual physiotherapy for people with knee osteoarthritis and chronic knee pain.
-
Perturbation-based balance training vs progressive neuromuscular training alongside standard physiotherapy for knee osteoarthritis
This trial tests whether perturbation-based balance training adds benefit over progressive neuromuscular training when used with usual physiotherapy for people with knee osteoarthritis and chronic knee pain.
-
How Lipedema Affects Knee Osteoarthritis
This study compares people with knee osteoarthritis who have lipedema to those with osteoarthritis but without lipedema to see if lipedema changes knee pain and structure.
-
Mobilized balance platform exercises for people with knee osteoarthritis
This will test whether adding Huber 360 balance platform exercises to standard physical therapy helps people aged 45–65 with moderate knee osteoarthritis improve balance, reduce pain, and function better in daily life.
-
High-intensity laser versus standard physical therapy for knee osteoarthritis
This trial will try high-intensity laser therapy plus exercises against standard physical therapy plus exercises in adults aged 40–75 with mild-to-moderate knee osteoarthritis to see which reduces pain and improves knee function.
-
Comparing StromaForte (donor bone-marrow mesenchymal stromal cells) versus hyaluronic acid injections for knee osteoarthritis
This trial will test whether injections of StromaForte (donor bone-marrow mesenchymal stromal cells) relieve pain and improve function in adults with radiographic knee osteoarthritis better than hyaluronic acid injections.
-
Cryoneurolysis before total knee replacement surgery
This trial will test whether freezing the genicular nerves at least 24 hours before total knee replacement reduces long-term pain and improves recovery for adults having primary TKA for osteoarthritis.
-
Improving stair climbing in knee osteoarthritis with flywheel eccentric training
This trial will test whether using a flywheel machine for eccentric overload exercise helps people aged 40–70 with moderate knee osteoarthritis climb stairs more safely and more easily.
-
Low-dose epinephrine with tranexamic acid during knee replacement
This will test whether giving low-dose epinephrine together with tranexamic acid to people having knee replacement reduces blood loss, clotting complications, and hospital stay.
