First seen Nov 01, 2025 · Last updated Jun 13, 2026 · Updated 26 times
Summary
This study tested whether a person's own fat stem cells could safely reduce osteoarthritis pain in joints like the knee, hip, shoulder, wrist, or ankle. Only 14 people took part before the study was stopped early. The main goal was to check safety and see if pain and movement improved, but results are limited due to the small size and early termination.
