PRP injections for painful ankle cartilage defects
Treatments studied
Part of Bones, joints & muscles clinical trials.
This Phase 1 study tests whether platelet-rich plasma (PRP) injections can reduce pain from an ankle cartilage problem called an osteochondral lesion of the talus. It may help improve ankle function and comfort, but this is an early safety and effect study.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are 18 to under 60 years old
- You have an ankle cartilage lesion (OCL) confirmed by X-ray and MRI
- You have ankle pain
- Your OCL is not in the back (posterior) part of the ankle bone
- You are not pregnant

Other trials that look related to this one.
This trial tests a surgery called microfracture (making tiny holes in the bone to help new cartilage grow) combined with a gel made from your own platelet-rich plasma (PRP) to treat a small ankle cartilage injury. The goal is to see if adding PRP gel improves healing and reduces pain.
This trial compares two injection treatments—platelet-rich plasma (PRP) and hyaluronic acid (HA)—for pain from osteoarthritis in the kneecap area. It looks to see which injection works better and for whom, using symptom follow-up and imaging.
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 tests if injections of platelet-rich plasma (PRP), made from your own blood, can reduce pain and improve knee function in people with advanced knee osteoarthritis. PRP may help repair damaged tissue and reduce inflammation.
This study tests whether platelet-rich plasma (PRP) injections can help knee arthritis in both younger and older adults. If you have knee pain from arthritis and haven't had other treatments recently, you might be able to join.
This study tests whether PRP (platelet-rich plasma) given after an ACL injury and surgery can lower the chance of developing long-term knee arthritis. It may help protect the knee over time by targeting early healing after ACL reconstruction.
