Comparing placental growth factor and platelet-rich plasma injections for nerve injuries
Part of Brain & nervous system, Injuries & trauma clinical trials.
This study compares two injection treatments for arm or hand nerve injuries that haven't healed after 3 months. One uses a growth factor from the placenta, and the other uses platelet-rich plasma from your own blood.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You must be 17 years old or older.
- You had an injury to the median or ulnar nerve in your arm or hand that causes symptoms or limits function.
- The injury happened more than 3 months ago.
- Your nerve symptoms are not caused by another condition like carpal tunnel syndrome or diabetes.

This trial tests a surgical glue-like product (NTX-001) to help mend cut nerves in the arm or hand. If successful, it could improve recovery of movement and feeling after nerve injury.
This study tests whether injecting platelet-rich plasma (PRP), a substance made from your own blood that may help tissues heal, into the area of a damaged nerve can improve nerve regeneration and recovery after a traumatic injury.
This study compares two treatments for chronic lower back pain coming from the facet joints in the spine. One treatment uses your own blood to make a healing injection, and the other uses heat to disable the nerve causing pain. The goal is to see which works better and lasts longer.
This trial compares three ways to repair a damaged peripheral nerve: a new bridge called NeuroSpan, a commonly used nerve guide (NeuraGen), and a nerve graft from your own body. It may help if you have a recent nerve injury in your arm or leg with a small gap.
This study tests a new nerve graft (Avance) against the standard sural nerve graft (taken from your leg) for repairing cut nerves in the arm or hand. The goal is to see which helps you recover function better over 2 years.
This study looks at using platelet-poor plasma (PPP) injections to help athletes heal faster from muscle injuries. PPP is a part of your blood that may help reduce swelling and promote healing. The study will see if this treatment, together with physical therapy, helps you get back to your sport sooner.
