Thumb arthritis study halted early: PRP vs steroid showdown fizzles
Symptom relief
Terminated
This study aimed to see if a platelet-rich plasma (PRP) injection works better than a steroid injection or a placebo (salt water) for thumb arthritis. It included 74 people with early-stage thumb arthritis. The study was stopped early, so results are limited.
Phase: NA • Sponsor: Kettering Health Network • Aim: Symptom relief
