Platelet injection vs. gel injection for knee pain
Part of Bones, joints & muscles clinical trials.
This study compares two injection treatments for knee pain: one using your own blood components (platelet-rich fibrin) and the other using a standard lubricant (hyaluronic acid). The goal is to see which works better for moderate knee osteoarthritis.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You have moderate knee osteoarthritis.
- You are generally healthy (ASA I or II) or have a well-managed condition.
- You do not have a neurological condition.
- You do not have other health problems that are poorly controlled.

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 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 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.
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.
This study compares two treatments—platelet-rich plasma (PRP) and hyaluronic acid (a lubricating injection)—for people with severe knee arthritis seen on MRI. The goal is to see which better reduces pain.
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.
