NCT ID NCT05517434

First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026

Summary

This study tests whether injecting a person's own bone marrow cells or a mix of fat cells and platelet-rich plasma into the knee can reduce pain from osteoarthritis. About 148 adults with moderate knee arthritis will receive either the real treatment or a placebo (salt water) injection. Researchers will track pain and function for 12 months to see if these natural cell treatments work better than a dummy shot.
