First seen Jun 24, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026 · Updated 1 time
Summary
This study aims to find blood-based biomarkers that can diagnose osteoarthritis (OA) earlier than current methods. Researchers will collect blood samples from 300 people aged 40-70 with joint pain to test previously identified candidate markers. The goal is to develop a simple, reliable blood test for early OA detection, potentially enabling earlier treatment and reducing long-term disability.
