Platelet injections for knee arthritis pain
Treatments studied
Part of Bones, joints & muscles clinical trials.
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.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are age 40 to 79.
- You have knee osteoarthritis pain for more than 3 months, mainly on the inner (femoro-tibial) side.
- Your X-ray shows moderate disease (Kellgren-Lawrence stage 2 or 3) in the leg joint area within the last 6 months.
- Your pain score is high enough (ENS at least 40/100) despite usual pain treatments, or you can’t take those treatments.
- You must be able to consent, read instructions, and fill out questionnaires; and be willing to follow study medicine rules (including stopping certain NSAIDs briefly).

This trial tests whether combining two types of injections—platelet-rich plasma (a concentration of healing cells from your own blood) and hyaluronic acid (a natural lubricant)—can reduce knee osteoarthritis pain and improve function over one year. You're eligible if you've already received or are about to receive these injections at Amiens University Hospital.
This study tests whether two types of platelet-rich plasma (a treatment made from your own blood) can help relieve severe knee osteoarthritis pain when injected into the bone and joint. It may offer a non-surgical option for people whose knee pain limits walking.
This trial tests using your own platelet-rich plasma (PRP), made from a blood sample, as an injection to treat knee osteoarthritis in active young adults. The goal is to see if it reduces pain and helps you stay active.
This trial tests whether a platelet-rich plasma (PRP) shot works better than a standard hyaluronic acid (“gel”) injection to reduce knee osteoarthritis pain. It may help people with ongoing knee pain choose the treatment that relieves symptoms more effectively.
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.
This trial compares two injections—a special growth factor treatment and a platelet-rich plasma (PRP) injection—to see which works better for knee osteoarthritis. It aims to help people with mild to moderate knee arthritis who have had pain for at least 3 months.
