Platelet gel (PRP) for shoulder arthritis pain
Part of Bones, joints & muscles, Pain clinical trials.
This trial tests whether platelet-rich plasma (PRP), a blood-based treatment, can reduce pain from shoulder (glenohumeral) osteoarthritis. It also looks at whether PRP works for people who had temporary relief from a numbing/shock injection into the joint.
