Comparing platelet-rich plasma and cytokine-rich serum injections for knee osteoarthritis
Treatments studied
Part of Bones, joints & muscles clinical trials.
This trial compares two types of injections (PRP and ACS) to see which one works better for knee osteoarthritis. It may help people with knee pain who have not had these injections recently.

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.
