Growth hormone and platelet-rich plasma for knee or ankle arthritis
Part of Bones, joints & muscles clinical trials.
This study tests whether combining growth hormone with platelet-rich plasma (a substance made from your own blood) can help reduce pain and improve function in people with knee or ankle arthritis that hasn't responded to other treatments.
