Fat tissue disorder may worsen knee arthritis, new study hints
NCT ID NCT07575555
First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jul 10, 2026 · Updated 2 times
Summary
This study will compare women with knee osteoarthritis who also have lipedema (a fat tissue disorder) to those without lipedema. Researchers will use ultrasound to measure knee cartilage thickness and questionnaires to assess pain and daily function. The goal is to understand if lipedema independently worsens osteoarthritis, which could lead to earlier and more targeted treatments.
