Platelet-Poor Plasma Injections for Athletic Muscle Injuries
Part of Injuries & trauma clinical trials.
This study tests whether platelet-poor plasma (a blood-derived treatment) injections help athletes recover faster from muscle strains in the legs. Researchers will compare outcomes in people who receive this injection along with standard care versus standard care alone.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- Age 18–45 years old
- Muscle strain in the lower leg (hamstring, thigh, or calf) from athletic activity
- Injury happened within the last 10 days
- Willing to do prescribed physical therapy during recovery
- No previous injections at this exact injury site
- No similar muscle injury in the same leg muscle within the past 6 months

This study compares two injection treatments for thigh muscle injuries in young athletes: platelet-rich plasma (PRP), which uses your own blood cells to promote healing, versus corticosteroids, which reduce inflammation. The goal is to see which works better to get you back to sports.
This study tests whether an injection of your own platelet-rich plasma (PRP) can help heal muscle, tendon, or joint problems that haven't gotten better with other treatments like physical therapy or medications.
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 study tests whether platelet-rich plasma (PRP) injections can help knee arthritis in both younger and older adults. If you have knee pain from arthritis and haven't had other treatments recently, you might be able to join.
This trial tests whether an injection of concentrated platelets from your own blood can help heal chronic tendon injuries that haven't improved with other treatments. Platelets contain natural healing factors that may reduce pain and improve function.
This study tests two different ways of preparing platelet-rich plasma (a treatment made from your own blood) to see which one works better for knee osteoarthritis. You'll also do physical therapy as part of the study.
