What is Osteoarthritis of the Knee?

Osteoarthritis (OA) of the knee is a common form of arthritis that develops when the cartilage that cushions the knee joint gradually wears down over time. As cartilage thins, the bones in the joint may rub against each other, leading to pain, stiffness, swelling, and reduced mobility.

Knee osteoarthritis is often described as a “wear and tear” type of arthritis. It can become more common with age and may also be linked to previous injuries, repetitive strain on the joint, genetics, or carrying extra weight that increases pressure on the knees.

More About Osteoarthritis of the Knee

Osteoarthritis is a progressive condition, meaning symptoms can increase over time. Many people start with occasional discomfort, but as the joint changes, pain may become more frequent and daily tasks may feel harder—like walking longer distances, getting up from a chair, or going up and down stairs.

The symptoms of OA can vary, but typical signs include:

  • Knee pain during walking, standing, or climbing stairs
  • Stiffness, especially in the morning or after sitting
  • Swelling or tenderness around the joint
  • A feeling of grinding, clicking, or popping in the knee
  • Reduced range of motion or difficulty with daily activities

While treatments such as exercise, physical therapy, medications, injections, and lifestyle changes can help manage symptoms, clinical research is essential for discovering new approaches that may reduce pain, improve function, and support long-term joint health.

If you have knee osteoarthritis and are looking for options, participating in a clinical trial may be a meaningful way to explore study-related care and support future treatment advances.
