Knee pain relief with platelet-rich plasma injections
Part of Bones, joints & muscles clinical trials.
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.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You have knee osteoarthritis that has been diagnosed by a doctor and confirmed by X-ray (moderate to severe).
- Your knee has been painful for more than 3 months.
- You can walk even though your knee hurts.
- You have not had knee surgery before.

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 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 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 study examines whether certain blood cell patterns can predict who will benefit most from platelet-rich plasma (PRP)—an injection treatment made from your own blood—for knee osteoarthritis. If your blood markers match certain patterns, you may be more likely to experience pain relief and improved function.
This study tests whether adding platelet-rich plasma (PRP) to hyaluronic acid injections improves knee osteoarthritis pain and function better than hyaluronic acid alone. You may be eligible if you have moderate knee osteoarthritis and no other knee problems.
