First seen Jun 25, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026 · Updated 2 times
Summary
This study looked at 40 people with knee osteoarthritis who received injections of platelet-rich plasma (PRP) made from their own blood. Researchers measured pain, function, and inflammation markers to see how PRP might help. The goal was to better understand the treatment's effects, not to prove it works for everyone.
