Platelet-Rich Plasma for Chronic Tennis Elbow
Part of Bones, joints & muscles, Injuries & trauma clinical trials.
This study compares two types of platelet-rich plasma (PRP) injections—one with a lot of white blood cells and one without—against a placebo injection to see which works best for persistent tennis elbow. If other treatments haven't helped your elbow pain for at least 3 months, this trial might be a good option.

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 study tests a treatment for tennis elbow called platelet-rich plasma (PRP), which uses your own blood to help the tendon heal. It looks at who benefits most from a PRP injection given within the last 48 hours.
This study looks at whether a treatment called platelet-rich plasma (PRP) can help people with ongoing elbow tendon pain. PRP uses a part of your own blood to try to heal the damaged tendon. This trial aims to understand what factors make the treatment work best for different people.
This trial tests whether an injection made from your own bone marrow can help treat long-lasting elbow tendon pain that hasn't improved with other treatments. The goal is to see if this treatment is safe and works for people with partial tears in the elbow tendon.
This trial tests whether an injection of concentrated platelets from your own blood can help heal chronic tendon injuries that haven't improved with other treatments. Platelets contain natural healing factors that may reduce pain and improve function.
This study compares two treatments—hyaluronic acid (a natural lubricant) and platelet-rich plasma (PRP, made from your own blood)—for chronic tendon pain. You may be a good fit if you have had pain in your Achilles tendon or golfer's elbow for more than 3 months and are looking for a non-surgical option.
