Can your own blood heal a torn knee ligament?

NCT ID NCT07185802

First seen Jun 26, 2026 · Last updated Jun 26, 2026 · Updated 1 time

Summary

This study tests whether a single injection of platelet-rich plasma (PRP), made from the patient's own blood, can improve healing in people with partial anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) tears. Half of the 52 participants will get the injection plus standard rehab; the other half will get rehab alone. Researchers will measure pain and knee function over 16 weeks to see if PRP offers extra benefit.

Active substance

platelet-rich plasma (PRP) injection

What this could lead to

If it works, this could offer a simple, natural injection to improve healing and reduce pain for people with partial ACL tears, possibly avoiding surgery.

What could go wrong

This is a small, early-phase trial with only 52 people. PRP may not provide any extra benefit over standard rehab, and results may not apply to more severe injuries.
