Comparing two knee injection treatments for osteoarthritis
Treatments studied
Part of Bones, joints & muscles clinical trials.
This study compares two knee injection treatments for knee osteoarthritis. It aims to see which one works better for reducing pain and improving function, so you might experience less knee pain and better mobility.

This study tests whether platelet-rich plasma (a treatment made from your own blood) can reduce symptoms of knee osteoarthritis. It focuses on people with specific types of knee pain and X-ray findings, and compares against rules around current pain medicines and injections.
This study tests three different knee injections—a cell-based treatment, a gel-like substance, and a blood-derived preparation—to see which works better for easing knee osteoarthritis pain. If you have mild to moderate knee arthritis, this trial might help you find a more effective treatment.
This study compares two treatments for knee pain from osteoarthritis: a natural substance made from your blood (platelet-rich fibrin) and a joint lubricant (hyaluronic acid). Both are injected into the knee to see which gives better pain relief.
This trial compares three common injection treatments for knee osteoarthritis to see which one works best for pain relief. It tests a steroid, a dextrose solution, and platelet-rich plasma (a treatment made from your own blood).
This trial tests if platelet-rich plasma (PRP) injections into and around the knee joint can reduce pain and improve function for people with moderate knee osteoarthritis who haven't gotten relief from other treatments.
This trial compares an injection made from your own platelets (PRP) to a placebo shot to see if it helps knee osteoarthritis symptoms and function. It is designed for people over 65 with arthritis affecting only one knee.
