Platelet-rich plasma injection for knee arthritis in young athletes
Part of Bones, joints & muscles clinical trials.
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 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 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 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 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 tests whether a combination of platelet-rich plasma (a concentrate from your own blood) and hyaluronic acid (a joint lubricant) helps reduce pain and improve function in people with knee arthritis. You may be eligible if you have moderate knee pain but your other knee is relatively pain-free.
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.
