Growth factor vs PRP for knee arthritis
Treatments studied
Part of Bones, joints & muscles clinical trials.
This trial compares two injections—a special growth factor treatment and a platelet-rich plasma (PRP) injection—to see which works better for knee osteoarthritis. It aims to help people with mild to moderate knee arthritis who have had pain for at least 3 months.

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 compares an injection made from your own platelets (PRP) to a placebo shot to see if it helps knee osteoarthritis symptoms and function. It is designed for people over 65 with arthritis affecting only one knee.
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 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 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.
