This study is testing whether injections of frozen platelet-rich plasma (PRP) can help reduce pain and improve knee function in people with osteoarthritis. Researchers will compare frozen PRP injections against fresh PRP injections in 60 participants aged 40-85. The goal is to se…

This study is testing whether a non-invasive treatment called extracorporeal shockwave therapy (ESWT) can help reduce pain and improve movement in athletes who have developed knee arthritis after ACL surgery. Researchers will compare the effects of real shockwave therapy to a fak…

This study is testing whether special diagonal movement exercises work better than standard strength training for people with knee osteoarthritis. Researchers will enroll 150 adults aged 40-60 with chronic knee pain to compare pain levels, movement, and function. Both groups will…

This study aims to find out if one type of artificial knee causes less clicking, popping, or grinding sounds than another after total knee replacement surgery. Researchers will compare two different knee implant designs in 170 patients. The main goal is to see which design leads …

This study is testing whether a faster, more intensive rehabilitation program helps people recover better after knee replacement surgery compared to the usual, slower rehab. It involves 32 patients aged 50-80 who are getting a knee replacement for severe arthritis. Researchers wi…

This small pilot study aims to see if it's practical to test two different exercise schedules for people with knee osteoarthritis. Twenty participants will be randomly assigned to do the same exercises either with short breaks or with two longer 45-minute rests during each sessio…

This study aims to understand how common nerve-related pain is in people with knee osteoarthritis and how it affects their pain levels and ability to function. Researchers will survey 102 patients to categorize their pain type and measure its impact. The goal is to gather knowled…

This study is creating a large registry to collect real-world information on a procedure called genicular artery embolization (GAE) for knee osteoarthritis. It will follow 1,200 adults whose knee pain hasn't improved with medication to see how long their pain relief lasts and wha…

This study aims to develop better tests to help doctors determine when patients can safely return to sports after knee replacement surgery. Researchers will work with 50 people who have had knee replacements and are active in sports. They will use a step-by-step testing approach,…

This study aims to test how well a specific knee ultrasound scoring system works for Turkish adults with osteoarthritis. Researchers will enroll 100 participants to see if the ultrasound scores reliably match up with their reported pain, stiffness, and physical function. The goal…

This study aims to understand what happens inside the joints of people with severe hip or knee osteoarthritis. Researchers will collect and analyze tissue samples from 1,000 patients who are already scheduled for joint replacement surgery. They will measure levels of metals and i…
