Platelet-rich plasma and hyaluronic acid for knee arthritis
Treatments studied
Part of Bones, joints & muscles clinical trials.
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.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You have been diagnosed with knee osteoarthritis by a doctor.
- Your knee pain is at least moderate (4 or higher on a 0-10 scale) in the knee being studied.
- Your other knee has little or no pain (2 or lower on a 0-10 scale).
- You have not had knee surgery on either knee in the past year.
- You have not had certain knee injections (cortisone, hyaluronic acid, or platelet-rich plasma) in the study knee recently (3-6 months).

This study tests whether adding platelet-rich plasma (PRP) to hyaluronic acid injections improves knee osteoarthritis pain and function better than hyaluronic acid alone. You may be eligible if you have moderate knee osteoarthritis and no other knee problems.
This trial tests whether combining two types of injections—platelet-rich plasma (a concentration of healing cells from your own blood) and hyaluronic acid (a natural lubricant)—can reduce knee osteoarthritis pain and improve function over one year. You're eligible if you've already received or are about to receive these injections at Amiens University Hospital.
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 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 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 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.
