NCT ID NCT07717203

First seen Jul 21, 2026 · Last updated Jul 22, 2026 · Updated 1 time

Summary

This trial compares two types of platelet-rich plasma (PRP) injections for people with tennis elbow that hasn't improved with standard treatments. One injection uses PRP made from the patient's own bone marrow, while the other uses PRP from their blood. The study aims to see if the bone marrow version is feasible and may lead to better healing of tendon tears.

Active substance
a platelet-rich plasma (PRP) injection made from bone marrow or from blood
What this could lead to
If it works, this could offer a better treatment option for tennis elbow that hasn't healed with standard care, potentially avoiding surgery.
