Knee injections with platelet-rich plasma for severe arthritis
Part of Bones, joints & muscles clinical trials.
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 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 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 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.
This trial compares three common injection treatments for knee osteoarthritis to see which one works best for pain relief. It tests a steroid, a dextrose solution, and platelet-rich plasma (a treatment made from your own blood).
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.
