PRP knee injections: new study looks at blood protein changes in osteoarthritis patients
NCT ID NCT06451120
First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026
Summary
This study tests whether platelet-rich plasma (PRP) injections into the knee can change certain proteins in the blood of people with knee osteoarthritis. About 60 participants aged 18-70 will receive either PRP or a saltwater placebo, and researchers will compare protein levels to understand how PRP might work. The goal is to learn more about the body's response to PRP, not to cure the disease.
