Knee Pain and Osteoarthritis Research in San Diego

If you are experiencing chronic knee pain, stiffness, swelling, or difficulty with walking or daily activities, you are not alone. Knee osteoarthritis is one of the most common causes of joint pain in adults and affects thousands of individuals throughout San Diego County.

At Horizon Clinical Research, we focus on advancing orthopedic clinical research that may help improve pain, function, and quality of life for people living with knee osteoarthritis. We are currently participating as a clinical site in a Phase 3 knee osteoarthritis research study sponsored by Doron Therapeutics Inc.

Common Symptoms of Knee Osteoarthritis

Many individuals who inquire about knee osteoarthritis research report symptoms such as:

  • Persistent or worsening knee pain

  • Stiffness, especially in the morning or after sitting

  • Swelling or tenderness around the knee joint

  • Pain with walking, standing, stairs, or exercise

  • Reduced range of motion

  • Difficulty maintaining an active lifestyle

If these symptoms sound familiar, clinical research may be an option worth exploring.

About the Phase 3 Knee Osteoarthritis Study

Horizon Clinical Research is participating in a Phase 3, multicenter, randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled clinical trial evaluating an investigational intra-articular treatment for knee osteoarthritis.

The study is designed to evaluate safety and effectiveness using rigorous clinical research standards. Phase 3 trials are a critical step in determining whether investigational therapies may be appropriate for broader use in the future.

This investigational treatment is not FDA-approved, and participation does not guarantee benefit.

Why Clinical Research Matters for Knee Pain

For many patients with knee osteoarthritis, existing treatment options may provide limited or temporary relief. Clinical research plays an essential role in evaluating new approaches under carefully monitored conditions.

Participating in a clinical trial allows researchers to:

  • Study new investigational treatments responsibly

  • Collect high-quality data on pain and function

  • Advance scientific understanding of osteoarthritis

  • Help shape future treatment options
