Steroid, dextrose, and platelet-rich plasma injections for knee osteoarthritis
Part of Bones, joints & muscles, Pain clinical trials.
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 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 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 compares two treatments for knee pain from osteoarthritis: a natural substance made from your blood (platelet-rich fibrin) and a joint lubricant (hyaluronic acid). Both are injected into the knee to see which gives better pain relief.
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.
